Where is Adamah in the Bible?
Adamah was a fortified city located in the territory of Naphtali in ancient Israel, situated on a plateau approximately 10 miles north of Beisan (modern-day Beth Shean). The city is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as one of the fortified cities assigned to the tribe of Naphtali during the division of the Promised Land. Its designation as a fortified settlement suggests it served as a defensive stronghold in the northern region of Israel. While biblical references to Adamah are limited, its inclusion among the cities of Naphtali indicates its importance as a territorial landmark during the early period of Israelite settlement.
