   • 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.
   • “ATAROTH, THE HOUSE OF JOAB ,” a place(?) occurring in the list of the descendants of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:54)
