(Heb. Chorona'yim, חֹרֹנִיַם , Two Caverns; Sept. Ἀρωνιείμ and ᾿Ωρωναϊ v Μ ), a Moabitish city near Zoar, Luhith, Nimrim, etc., on a declivity along the route of the invading Assyrians ( Isaiah 15:5; Jeremiah 48:3; Jeremiah 48:5; Jeremiah 48:34); probably the same called Holon ( חֹלוֹן , perhaps by an error for חֹרוֹן , Horon, which would appear to be the original form of the word Horonaim; from חֹר , a Hole) in Jeremiah 48:22 (Sept. Χελών ,Vulg. Helon). The associated names only afford a conjectural locality east of the north end of the Dead Sea, probably on some one of the great roads ( דֶּרֶךְ ) leading down from the plateau of Moab to the Jordan valley.
