   Tadmor
      palm, a city built by Solomon "in the wilderness" (2 Chr. 8:4).
      In 1 Kings 9:18, where the word occurs in the Authorized
      Version, the Hebrew text and the Revised Version read "Tamar,"
      which is properly a city on the southern border of Palestine and
      toward the wilderness (comp. Ezek. 47:19; 48:28). In 2 Chr. 8:14
      Tadmor is mentioned in connection with Hamath-zobah. It is
      called Palmyra by the Greeks and Romans. It stood in the great
      Syrian wilderness, 176 miles from Damascus and 130 from the
      Mediterranean and was the centre of a vast commercial traffic
      with Western Asia. It was also an important military station.
      (See {SOLOMON}.) "Remains of ancient temples and
      palaces, surrounded by splendid colonnades of white marble, many
      of which are yet standing, and thousands of prostrate pillars,
      scattered over a large extent of space, attest the ancient
      magnificence of this city of palms, surpassing that of the
      renowned cities of Greece and Rome."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Tadmor, the palm-tree; bitterness
