List of minor biblical places

This is a list of places mentioned in the Bible, which do not have their own Wikipedia articles. See also the list of biblical places for locations which do have their own article. Abana, according to 2 Kings 5:12, was one of the "rivers of Damascus", along with the Pharpar river. Abdon was a Levitical city in Asher allocated to the Gershonites according to Joshua 21:30 and 1 Chronicles 6:74. Abel-Shittim, the last Israelite encampment before crossing into the Promised Land, is identified by Josephus with Abila in Peraea, probably the site of modern Tell el-Hammam in Jordan. Adam was a location which, according to Joshua 3:16, was along the Jordan River, near Zarethan. According to Cheyne and Black, it may be a scribal error for "Adamah". Adadah is the name of a town mentioned in Joshua 15:22, in a list of towns inside the territory of the Tribe of Judah. The name "Adadah" appears nowhere else in the Bible. According to the Encyclopaedia Biblica, the name "Adadah" may be a miswritten version of Ararah, a name equivalent to "Aroer". Addan or Addon is a Babylonian location mentioned in Ezra 2:59 and Nehemiah 7:61. Adithaim, mentioned only in Joshua 15:30, is listed among locations belonging to Judah in the Shephelah. Adria, mentioned in Acts 27:27, is a term used for "the division of the Mediterranean which lies between Sicily and Malta on the West and Crete on the East". Aesora (or Esora) is a location mentioned only in Judith 4:4. The Book of Judith is considered canonical by some Christians, but not by Jews and most Protestants. The Septuagint calls it Aisora, Arasousia, Aisoraa, or Assaron, depending on the manuscript. The book of Judith places it between Choba and the Valley of Salem. According to Cheyne and Black (1899), the exact location is uncertain. Aetan appears in the Septuagint version of the Book of Joshua. Ahava is the name of a canal or river mentioned in the Book of Ezra. The location is unknown. Albert Barnes says it was both a town and a river.
