Zareth-shahar
Zareth-shahar - the splendour of the dawn, a city "in the mount of the valley"
(Josh. 13:19). It is identified with the ruins of
Zara, near the
mouth of the Wady Zerka Main, on the eastern shore of the
Dead Sea, some 3 miles south of the Callirrhoe, in the territory of the
Tribe of Reuben. Of this town but
little remains. "A few broken basaltic columns and pieces of
wall about 200 yards back from the shore, and a ruined fort
rather nearer the sea, about the middle of the coast line of the
plain, are all that are left" (Tristram's Land of Moab).
