The Hebrew place name Adorayim (H115) appears in 2 Chronicles 11:9 as one of the fifteen cities fortified by Rehoboam in Judah. The dual form suggests "two mounds" or "double-peaked hill," a common geographical descriptor.
The city is identified with modern-day Dura, southwest of Hebron in the territory of Judah, confirming its role as a southern defensive stronghold.
Rehoboam's fortification program in 2 Chronicles 11:5-12 reflects both human wisdom and divine providential protection. Though the kingdom was divided, God ensured the survival of the Davidic line in Judah from which the Messiah would come.
Every city in that defensive network — including Adoraim — served God's larger redemptive purpose. The fortifications of stone and mortar foreshadow the ultimate security of those who dwell in God's presence: "He is a shield to all who take refuge in him" (Proverbs 30:5).
