In the received Hebrew text “the sons of Arnan” are mentioned in the genealogy of Zerubbabel.
(1 Chronicles 3:21)
Arni
(Used in the Revised Version for Aram in (Luke 3:33) and is probably another name or form
of the name of Aram. [Aram, 4])
Arnon
(roaring), the river or torrent which formed the boundary between Moab and the Amorites, on
the north of Moab, (Numbers 21:13,14,24,26; Judges 11:22) and afterwards between Moab and
Israel (Reuben). (2:24,36; 3:8,12,16; 4:48; Joshua 12:1,2; 13:9,16; Judges 11:13,26) There can be
no doubt that the Wady el-Mojeb of the present day is the Arnon. Its principal source is near Katrane,
on the Haj route.
Arod
(a wild ass), a son of Gad, (Numbers 26:17) called Arodi in (Genesis 46:16)
Arodi

Aroer
(ruins).
•A city on the torrent Arnon, the southern point of the territory of Sihon king of the Amorites and
afterwards of the tribe of Reuben, (2:36; 3:12; 4:48; Joshua 12:2; 13:9,16; Judges 11:26; 2 Kings
10:33; 1 Chronicles 5:8) but later again in possession of Moab. (Jeremiah 48:19) It is the modern
Ara’ir, upon the very edge of the precipitous north bank of the Wady Mojeb.
•Aroer, “that is ’facing’ Rahbah” (Rabbah of Ammon), a town built by and belonging to Gad.
(Numbers 32:34; Joshua 13:25; 2 Samuel 24:5) This is probably the place mentioned in (Judges
11:33) which was shown in Jerome’s time.
•Aroer, in (Isaiah 17:2) if a place at all, must be still farther north than either of the two already
named.
•A town in Judah, named only in (1 Samuel 30:28) perhaps Wady Ar’arah, on the road from Petra
to Gaza.
Aroerite
Hothan the Aroerite was the father of two of David’s captains. (1 Chronicles 11:44)
Arpad, Or Arphad
(strong city), (Isaiah 36:19; 37:13) a city or district in Syria, apparently dependent on Damascus.
(Jeremiah 49:23) No trace of its existence has yet been discovered. (2 Kings 18:34; 19:13; Isaiah
10:9)
Arphaxad
(stronghold of the Chaldees).
•The son of Shem and ancestor of Eber. (Genesis 10:22,24; 11:10)
•Arphaxad, a king “who reigned over the Medes in Ecbatana,” Judith 1:1-4; perhaps the same as
Phraortes, who fell in a battle with the Assyrians, 633 B.C.
