Adadah

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

a -da´da ( עדעדה , ‛adh‛ādhāh ): A city in the southern part of Judah (Joshua 15:22 ). The older copies of the Greek text have Arouḗl , but that is not a sufficient reason for identifying the name with the Aroer of 1 Samuel 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.
