The meaning of Admah in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

ad'-ma ('adhmah): From a root signifying red; one of the Cities of the Plain (Ciccar) (Genesis 10:19; Genesis 14:2, Genesis 14:8; Deuteronomy 29:23; Hosea 11:8) upon which Abraham and Lot looked from the heights of Bethel; destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah. Conder tentatively identifies it with the City of Adam referred to in Joshua 3:16, and thinks that perhaps the name may be preserved in that of Damieh Ford, near the mouth of the river Jabbok; but that point could not have been in view from Bethel.
