Atarot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atarot, as mentioned in the Moabite Stone (Mesha Stele) is likely a reference to the Biblical town of Ataroth as mentioned in Numbers 32:3, 34. Its connection in both the Stele and the Biblical record to Gad, makes this probable. Ataroth lay within the tribal allotment of Reuben, but was built up by the Gadites during the period of Israelite conquest (Numbers 32:34).
