Admah
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Earth, one of the five cities of the vale of Siddim (Gen 10:19). It was destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah (19:24; Deut 29:23). It is supposed by some to be the same as the Adam of Josh 3:16, the name of which still lingers in Damieh, the ford of Jordan.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ad'-ma ('adhmah): From a root signifying red; one of the Cities of the Plain (Ciccar) (Gen 10:19; Gen 14:2; Gen 14:8; Deut 29:23; Hos 11:8) upon which Abraham and Lot looked from the heights of Bethel; destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah. Conder tentatively identifies it with the City of Adam referred to in Josh 3:16, and thinks that perhaps the name may be preserved in that of Damieh Ford, near the mouth of the river Jabbok; but that point could not have been in view from Bethel.
See Vale Of Siddim.
