ADIDA ăd’ ə də (Αδιδα). A town situated on a hill above the plains of Judea on a road leading from Jerusalem to the coast. Probably the same as the OT Hadid. It was fortified by Simon Maccabeus and used by him to meet the army of Tryphon (1 Macc 13:13; Jos. Antiq. XIII. vi. 5). Here also Aretas, king of Arabia, defeated Alexander Janneus in battle (Jos. Antiq. XIII. xv. 2).
