Adadah

What Bible dictionaries say about “Adadah”, one article after the other.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE 1915)

a-da'-da (`adh`adhah): A city in the southern part of Judah (Jos 15:22). The older copies of the Greek text have Arouel, but that is not a sufficient reason for identifying the name with the Aroer of 1Sa 30:28. Some scholars adopt the change of text, and identify the site with Ararah, about seven miles Southeast of Beer-sheba. Others identify it with Adadah, eight or nine miles Southeast of Arad.
