Ataroth:
at'-a-roth, a-ta'-roth (‘aTaroth, "crowns" or "wreaths"; Ataroth):
(1) A city East of the Jordan, apparently in the territory given to Reuben, but built, or fortified, by the children of Gad (Nu 32:3,34). It is named along with Dibon, which is identified with Dhiban. Eight miles Northeast by North of Dibon, on the South of Wady Zerqa Ma‘in, stands Jebel ‘Attarus, in which the ancient name is preserved. The city is doubtless represented by Khirbet ‘Attarus, about 4 miles West of the mountain.
(2) A place on the boundary between Ephraim and Benjamin, toward the West (Jos 16:2). It seems to be the same as Ataroth- addar of Jos 16:5, 18:13. It is probably to be identified with the modern ed-Dariyeh South of nether Bethhoron, and about 12 1/2 miles West of Jerusalem.
(3) A place on the eastern frontier of Ephraim (Jos 16:7). This town has not been identified. Conder thinks it may be identified with et-Truneh in the Jordan valley, or with Khirbet et-Taiyereh.
Written by W. Ewing
Ataroth:
(crowns).
(1.) One of the towns in the "land of Jazer and land of Gilead," (Numbers 32:3) east of the Jordan, taken and built by the tribe of Gad (Numbers 32:34).
(2.) A place on the (south?) boundary of Ephraim and Manasseh (Joshua 16:2; 16:7). It is impossible to say whether Ataroth is or is not the same place as
(3.) ATAROTH‐ADAR, or ‐ADDAR, on the west border of Benjamin, "near the 'mountain' that is on the south side of the nether Beth‐horon." (Joshua 16:5; 18:13). Perhaps the modern Atara, six miles northeast of Bethel.
(4.) "ATAROTH, THE HOUSE OF JOAB," a place(?) occurring in the list of the descendants of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:54).
