Brown-Driver-Briggs אֲדֹורַ֫יִם proper name, of a location (two hills ?) city in Judah 2Chronicles 11:9 (compare Ἀδωρα, Δωρα, JosAnt. viii. 10. 1, xiv. 5. 3); now Dûra, west of Hebron, RobBR II, 215. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֲדוֹר (Ador), which is not independently attested in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of a "mound" or "heap."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Adorajim in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: The term is used as a place name in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the fortified cities built by Rehoboam. Context: Adorajim is mentioned in the context of the fortified cities constructed by Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, in the Kingdom of Judah. This city is listed among others in 2 Chronicles 11:9, which states: "Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah." The strategic importance of Adorajim, along with other cities, was to strengthen the defenses of Judah against potential invasions, particularly from the northern kingdom of Israel and other neighboring adversaries. The name itself suggests a geographical feature characterized by two prominent mounds or hills, which may have contributed to its selection as a fortified site. The exact location of Adorajim is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the southern part of Judah, possibly near the modern-day city of Hebron.
