at?a-roth, a-tā?roth עטרות, ‛ăṭārōth, ?crowns? or ?wreaths?; Ἀταρώθ, Atarō̇th):
(1) A city east of the Jordan, apparently in the territory given to Reuben, but built, or fortified, by the children of Gad (Num_32:3, Num_32:34). It is named along with Dibon, which is identified with Dhı̄bān. Eight miles Northeast by North of Dibon, on the South of Wādy Zerḳā Ma‛ı̄n, stands Jebel ‛Attārūs, in which the ancient name is preserved. The city is doubtless represented by Khirbet ‛Attārūs, about 4 miles West of the mountain.
(2) A place on the boundary between Ephraim and Benjamin, toward the West (Jos_16:2). It seems to be the same as Ataroth-addar of Jos_16:5 and Jos_18:13. It is probably to be identified with the modern ed-Dāriyeh South of nether Bethhoron, and about 12 1/2 miles West of Jerusalem.
(3) A place on the eastern frontier of Ephraim (Jos_16:7). This town has not been identified. Conder thinks it may be identified with et-Trūneh in the Jordan valley, or with Khirbet et-Taiyereh.

At?aroth. Several places of this name (which means crowns) occur in the Scriptures.
1. Ataroth-beth-Joab, in the tribe of Judah (1Ch_2:54).
2. Ataroth, on the borders of Ephraim (Jos_16:2; Jos_16:7), which some identify with, and others distinguish from, the Ataroth-Addar of the same tribe mentioned in Jos_16:5; Jos_18:13.
3. Ataroth, in the tribe of Gad, beyond the Jordan (Num_32:3; Num_32:34).
4. Ataroth-Shophan, in the same tribe (Num_32:35), which some identify with the preceding; but it appears more likely that the addition was used to distinguish the one from the other.

Ataroth
(Hebrews Ataroth', עֲטָרוֹת, crowns; Sept. Α᾿ταρώθ), the name of several places in Palestine.
1. A city east of Jordan, not far from Gilead, and in the vicinity of Dibon, Jazer, and Aroer, in a fertile grazing district (Num_32:3), rebuilt by the Gadites (Num_32:34), although it must have lain within the tribe of Reuben, probably on the slope of the hill still retaining the name Attarus (Burckhardt, 2, 630), where there is a river having the same name (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 220).
2. A city on the border of Ephraim and Benjamin, between Janohah and Naarath, toward Jericho (Jos_16:7), and also between Archi and Japhleti (Jos_16:2). Professor Robinson discovered a place by the name of Atara, perhaps identical with this, now a large village on the summit of a hill, about six miles N. by W. of Bethel (Researches, 3, 80). The ruins of another place by the same name, nearer Jerusalem on the north, have also been noticed (ibid. 3, Appendix, p. 122), situated at both ends of a defile, leading into the Wady Atara, which extends a distance of 2000 yards, about halfway between Beeroth and Mizpah (De Saulcy, 1, 101; 2, 257). This locality agrees better with the Ataroth of Ephraim than the other (see Schwarz, Palest. p. 146). The Ataroth (Α᾿ταρούθ) of Eusebius (Onomast. s.v.) lay four miles north of Samaria. This Ataroth is also called ATAROTH-ADDAR or ATAROTH-ADAR (Hebrews Atroth' Addar', עִטְרוֹת אִדָּר, crowns of Addar [greatness]; Sept. Α᾿ταρὼθ Α᾿δάρ and Α᾿θάρ) in Jos_16:5; Jos_18:13; where, as well as above, it is located between Bethel and Beth-horon (see Schwarz, Palest. p. 124).
3. ATAROTH [OF] THE HOUSE OF JOAB (Hebrews Atroth' Beyth Yoab, עִטְרוֹת בֵּית יוֹאָב, crowns of the house of Joab; Sept. Α᾿ταρὼθ οἴκου Ι᾿ωβάβ. v.r. Ι᾿ωάβ), a city (nominally) in the tribe of Judah, founded by the descendants of Salma (1Ch_2:54). Schwarz (Palest. p. 143) identifies it with Latrum (for el-Atron), on the road from Jerusalem to Jaffa, west of Saris, which (although slightly beyond the ancient bounds of Judah) appears plausible, as the well Ayub in the immediate vicinity may be a relic of the epithet here applied distinctively to this place.
4. ATAROTH-SHOPHAN (Hebrews Atroth' Shophan', עִטְרוֹת שׁוֹפָן, crowns of Shophan [hiding]; Sept. merely Σοφάρ), another city (nominally) of the tribe of Gad, mentioned in connection with No. 1 (Num_32:35). The English version overlooks the distinction evidently intended by the suffixed word, translating Atroth, Shophan, as if two places were thus denoted. The associated names would appear to indicate a locality not far from the border between Gad and Reuben (probably, however, within the latter), perhaps at the head of Wady Eshteh, near Merj-Ekkeh (Robinson's Milap), as the place was famous for pasturage.
