TADMOR

(Heb. taḏmōr; Akk. tadmar)

An oasis city in the Syrian Desert, midway between Mari and Damascus, which served as an important stop along the desert trade routes between Syria-Palestine and Mesopotamia. 2 Chr. 8:4 credits Solomon with fortifying the city as part of his trading empire. The issue of whether the Tamar of 1 Kgs. 9:18 should be read as Tadmor (so Q, LXX Lucian) is still uncertain. Tadmor was renamed Palmyra during the Hellenistic period and destroyed by the Romans in 273 c.e.

See Palmyra.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
