An ancient people who lying in the path of Chedorlaomer
and his allies, were attacked and overthrown by them. (Genesis
14:5) The Zuzim perhaps inhabited the country of the Ammonites, who were identical
with the Zamzummim who are known to have been exterminated and succeeded in their
land by the Ammonites.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
zu'-zim (zuzim; (ethne ischura, "strong nations." So
Jerome in Quaest. Hebrew: genres fortes):
A people conquered by Chedorlaomer (Genesis
14:5). They dwelt in Ham, a region not otherwise known but, from the connection,
inferred to be East of the Jordan. It may also be inferred that they were a race
of giants. They were perhaps to be identified with the Zamzummim.
