One of the six cities of Judah in the "wilderness" (midbar; Joshua 15:61, including the waste on the upper level, the cliffs, and shore of the lake). Um el Bedun valley, S.W. of the Dead Sea, bears traces of the name. Conder (Israel Exploration, July 1875) identifies it with Khirbet Mird, one of the six cities of the midbar or "desert", on the edge of the Bukeia, E. of Mar Saba.
