Admah

Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

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. (See ZEBOIM.)

Scripture References

ISBE

ad'-ma ('adhmah): From a root signifying red; one of the Cities of the Plain (Ciccar) ( Ge 10:19 ; 14:2 , 8 ; De 29:23 ; Ho 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 Jos 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 .

Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)

(earthy, fortress), one of the “cities of the plain,” always coupled with Zeboim. (Genesis 10:19; 14:2,8; 29:23; Hosea 11:8)
