ad´i -da ( Ἀδιδά , Adidá ). A town of the Benjamin tribe near Lod and Ono located upon a hill facing the "plain country" of Judea, rebuilt and fortified by Simon Maccabee (1 Macc 12:38), who later encamped here to meet the army of Tryphon (1 Macc 13:13; Ant , Xiii , vi, 5). It was also here that Aretas, king of Arabia, met Alexander Janneus in battle and defeated him ( Ant. , Xiii , xv, 2).

Ad´ida, a fortified town in the tribe of Judah. In 1 Maccabees 12:38, we read that Simon Maccabaeus set up 'Adida in Saphela, and made it strong with bolts and bars.' Eusebius says that Sephela was the name given in his time to the open country about Eleutheropolis. And this Adida in Sephela is probably the same which is mentioned in the next chapter ( 1 Maccabees 13:13) as 'Adida over against the plain,' where Simon Maccabaeus encamped to dispute the entrance into Judea of Tryphon, who had treacherously seized on Jonathan at Ptolemais. In the parallel passage Josephus (Antiq. xiii. 6, 5) adds that this Adida was upon a hill, before which lay the plains of Judea. One of the places which Josephus calls Adida (Bell. Jud. iv. 9, 1) appears to have been near the Jordan, and was probably the Hadid of Ezra 2:33.
