Adama

ADAMA, one of the five wicked Cities which were destroyed by fire from Heaven, and buried under the waters of the Dead Gen. xix. 24.Sea. It was the most easterly of all those which were swallowed up; and there is some probability that it was not intirely sunk under the waters, or that the Inhabitants of the Country rebuilt a new City of the same name upon the eastern shore of the Dead Sea; for Isaiah, according to the Septuagint, If. xv. ult. Ἀρῶ τὸ σπέρμα Μωὰβ καὶ Ἀριὴλ, καὶ τὸ καταλοιπον Ἀδαμα.says, that God will destroy the Moabites, the City of Ar, and the remnant of Adama.
