<p> (Heb. | <p> (Heb. Adora '''''’''''' yim, '''''אֲוֹרִיַם''''' '', Two Mounds'' or ''Dwellings;'' Sept. '''''Ἀδωραϊ''''' v '''''Μ''''' v. r. '''''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). Under the name of [[Adora]] it is apparently mentioned in the [[Apocrypha]] ( '''''Σαδωρα''''' , 1 [[Maccabees]] 13:20), and also often by [[Josephus]] ( '''''Σαδωρα''''' or '''''Δῶρα''''' , Ant. 8:10, 1; 13:6, 5; 15, 4; War, 1, 2, 6; 8, 4), who usually connects it with Maressa, as cities of the later [[Idumaea]] (see Reland, Paloest. p. 547). 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). </p> | ||
