Gomor'rah. (submersion). One of the five "cities of the plain," or "vale of Siddim," that under the irrespective kings joined battle there with Chedorlaomer, Genesis 14:2-8, and his allies, by whom they were discomfited, till Abraham came to the rescue. Four out of the five were, afterwards, destroyed by the Lord with fire from heaven. Genesis 19:23-29. One of them only, Zoar, (or Bela; which was its original name), was spared at the request of Lot, in order that he might take refuge there. The geographical position of these cities is discussed under Sodom.
