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).
