From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Edar
     tower of the flock, a tower between Bethlehem and Hebron, near
     which Jacob first halted after leaving Bethlehem (Gen. 35:21).
     In Micah 4:8 the word is rendered "tower of the flock" (marg.,
     "Edar"), and is used as a designation of Bethlehem, which
     figuratively represents the royal line of David as sprung from


     Bethlehem.
