Small, a town on the east or south-east of the Dead Sea, to which Lot and his daughters fled from Sodom ([Gen. 19:22](/gen#Gen.19.22), [23](/gen#Gen.19.23)). It was originally called Bela (14:2, 8). It is referred to by the prophets Isaiah (15:5) and Jeremiah (48:34). Its ruins are still seen at the opening of the ravine of Kerak, the Kir-Moab referred to in [2 Kings 3](/2kgs#2Kgs.3), the modern Tell esh-Shaghur.
