One of the five Cities of the Plain destroyed with Sedom and Amorah; at the south-eastern border of Kenaa'n, and identified with Cham (Genesis 10:19).
At the time of Av-Ram it was ruled by Shin-Av; it was involved in the Battle of Sidim in which Lot was captured (Genesis 14).
Deuteronomy 29:22 and Hosea 11:8 make reference to its destruction with Sedom and Amorah.
