Hazar-Gaddah
Hazar-gaddah
(Heb. Chatsar’-Gaddah’, , village of fortune; Sept. v.r. ), a city on the southern border of Judah, mentioned between Moladah and Heshmon (Jos 15:27). Modern writers (see Reland, Palest. p. 707), following the suggestion of Jerome (Onomast. s.v.; who, as suggested by Schwarz, Palestine, p. 100, has probably confounded this place with En-Gedi), have sought for it near the Dead Sea; but the associated names appear to locate it nearer midway towards the Mediterranean. SEE HAZERIM. Mr. Grove suggests (Smith, Dict. s.v.) that it is possibly the modern ruined site marked as Jurrah on Van de Velde’s Map, west of el-Melh (Moladah), by the change so frequent in the East (?) of D. to R.

Hazar-gaddah (2)
Tristram (Bible Places, page 20) coincides in the location “at Jurrah or el- Ghurra, a group of ruins on a high marl peak with steep sides, very near el-Milh, on the road to Beersheba,” and so Lieut. Conder ( Quar. Statement of the “Pal. Explor. Fund,” January 1875, page 25). But more recently the latter suggests (Tent Work, 2:337) Judeideh, the position of which he does not indicate.
