Bozrah:

(fortress).

(1.) In Edom, the city of Jobab the son of Zerah, one of the early king of that nation (Genesis 36:33; 1 Chronicles 1:44). Mentioned by Isaiah (Isaiah 34:6; 63:1) in connection with Edom, and by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 49:13; 49:22; Amos 1:12 and Micah 2:12). Its modern representative is el‐Busaireh, which lies on the mountain district to the southeast of the Dead Sea.

(2.) In his catalogue of the cities of the land of Moab, Jeremiah (Jeremiah 48:24) mentions a Bozrah as in "the plain country" (verse 21) i.e. the high level downs on the east of the Dead Sea.
