Aroer
Opis
Grad Amorejaca koji se nalazio na sjevernom rubu Arnona [Pnz 2:36 , itd.]. Osvojen od Izraela, dijelio je sudbinu zemlje sjeverno od rijeke, a kada se posljednji put spominje [Jr 48:19 ], ponovno je u rukama Moaba. To je jedan od gradova za koje Meša tvrdi da ih je izgradio, tj. utvrdio. Bio je unutar teritorija dodijeljenog Rubenu, no njegovo građenje (utvrđivanje) pripisuje se Gadu [Br 32:34 ]. Do ovdje je došao Sirijac, Hazael, u svom pohodu na Izrael [2Kr 10:33 ].
