Adadah

One of 30 cities given to the tribe of Judah when the Israelites divided up the land of Canaan. It was in the Negev, which is the southern desert region (Joshua 15:22). In the Septuagint (an ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament), the name is sometimes written as Ararah, or “Aroer” in 1 Samuel 30:28. It may be modern-day Khirbet Ar’arah, located 12 miles (19 kilometers) south of Beersheba.
