HORONAIM (perh. ‘the two bollows’).—A city of Moab, whose site has not been recovered with certainty. It is mentioned in Isa_15:5, Jer_48:3; Jer_48:5; Jer_48:34, and also on the Moabite Stone (11. 31, 32). It may have lain to the south of the Arnon, in the neighbourhood of the Wady ed-Derâ‘a.

("two caverns".) Gave their name to a town of Moab (Isa_15:5; Jer_48:3; Jer_48:5; Jer_48:34). On an eminence from which there was a "descent." Ptolemy's "Avara" is identified with Horonaim Sanballet, the opponent of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem wall (Neh_4:7; Neh_2:10), was an Horonite.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

hor-ō̇-nā?im (חרנים, חרונים, ḥōrōnayim; Ἀρωνιείμ, Arōnieı́m; in Jeremiah Ὀρωναίμ, Orōnaı́m, ?the two hollows?): an unidentified place in the South of Moab. It is named in Jer_48:5. Isaiah (Isa_15:5) and Jeremiah (Jer_48:3) speak of ?the way to Horanaim?; and Jeremiah (Jer_48:5) of the , ?descent,? or ?going down? of Horonaim. Mesha (MS) says he was bidden by Chemosh to ?go down? and fight against Ḥoronēm. Probably, therefore, it lay on one of the roads leading down from the Moabite plateau to the Arabah. It is mentioned by Josephus as having been taken by Alexander Janneus (Ant., XIII, xv, 4). Hyrcanus promised to restore it and the rest to Aretas (XIV, i, 4). There is no indication that in early times it was ever possessed by Israel. Buhl (GAP 272 f) thinks it may be represented by some significant ruins near Wādy ed-Derā‛a (Wādy Kerak).

Horonaim
(Heb. Chorona'yim, חֹרֹנִיַם, two caverns; Sept. Α᾿ρωνιείμ and ᾿Ωρωναϊvμ), a Moabitish city near Zoar, Luhith, Nimrim, etc., on a declivity along the route of the invading Assyrians (Isa_15:5; Jer_48:3; Jer_48:5; Jer_48:34); probably the same called HOLON (חֹלוֹן, perhaps by an error for חֹרוֹן, Horon, which would appear to be the original form of the word Horonaim; from חֹר, a hole) in Jer_48:22 (Sept. Χελών,Vulg. Helon). The associated names only afford a conjectural locality east of the north end of the Dead Sea, probably on some one of the great roads (דֶּרֶךְ) leading down from the plateau of Moab to the Jordan valley. It is doubtless the Oronse (᾿Ωρῶναι) of Josephus (Ant. 13, 15, 4; 14, 1, 4). Sanballat “the Horonite” (חֹרֹנַי, Neh_2:10; Neh_2:19; Neh_13:28) was probably a native of this place, and not (as stated by Schwarz, Palestine, p. 147) of Beth- horon, which was entirely different.
