James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Arba


Subjects in this Topic:

ARBA is named ‘the father of the Anak’ in Jos_14:15 (so read also Jos_21:11, cf. Jos_15:13). This means simply that he was the founder of the city which bore his name; that is Kiriath-arba, later Hebron (wh. see), where was a chief seat of the Anakim.

J. F. McCurdy.
