Ἀδωραί ) , a town, doubtless in the south-west of Judah, since it is enumerated along with Hebron and Mareshah as one of the cities fortified by Rehoboam ( 2 Chronicles 11:9 ).

It was captured by Hyrcanus at the same time with Maressa, and rebuilt by Gabinius (Joseph. Ant. 13, 9, 1; 14:5, 3). Dr. Robinson discovered the site under the name of Dura, a large village without ruins, five miles W. by S. from Hebron, on the eastern slope of a cultivated hill, with olive-groves and fields of grain all around (Researches, 3, 2-5; comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 113).
