Zoar

Facts:

Zoar was a small city where Lot fled when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

It was formerly known as "Bela" but was renamed "Zoar" when Lot asked God to spare this "small" city.
Zoar is thought to have been located in the plain of the Jordan River or at the southern end of the Dead Sea.
