Subjects in this Topic:

(Heb. Arubboth', àֲøֻáּåֹú , a lattice; Sept. Á᾿ñáâώè ), a city or district, probably in the tribe of Judah (or Simeon), being the third of Solomon's purveyorships, under the charge of Hesed or Ben-Hesed, and including Socoh and Hepher within its limits (1Ki_4:10). Schwarz (Palest. p. 237) fancies it is represented by the modern village and wady Rabith in the limits of Zebulon ; but the associated names indicate the region Jebel Khalil, S.W. of Hebron.
