<p> A city dependent on Damascus, and always named with [[Hamath]] (now [[Hamah]] on the Orontes). It fell before [[Sennacherib]] (2 Kings 18:34; Isaiah 10:9). </p>

<p> (Isaiah 36:19; Isaiah 37:13) or Ar'phad (Heb. Arpad', אִרְפָּד, perhaps a support; but see below; Sept. in 2 Kings Ἀρφάδ, elsewhere Ἀρφάθ , in Isaiah 10:9 undistinguishable), a Syrian city, having its own king (2 Kings 19:13; Isaiah 37:13), in the neighborhood of Hamath (2 Kings 18:34; Isaiah 10:9; Isaiah 36:19) and [[Damascus]] (Jeremiah 49:23), with both of which it appears to have been conquered by the [[Assyrians]] under Sennacherib. Michaelis and others seek Arphad in Raphance or Raphanee of the Greek geographers (Ptol. v, 15; Steph. Byzant. in Ε᾿πιφάνεια; Joseph. War, 7:1, 3; 7:5, 1), which was a day's journey west of Hamath (Mannert, VI, i, 431). [[Paulus]] (Comment. in Isaiah 10:9) thinks it was a city in the neighborhood of the [[Tigris]] and Euphrates. Some, however, are content to find this Arphad in the A rpha (Ἀρφᾶ ) which [[Josephus]] (War, iii, 3, 5) mentions as situated on the north-eastern frontier of the northernmost province of [[Herod]] Agrippa's tetrarchy; also called A rtha (Ἀρθᾶ ) or Arfa by other ancient writers (Reland, Palcest. p. 584). But it seems best (with Doderloin and others) to refer it to the Phoenician island city [[Arvad]] or [[Aradus]] (q.v.), which was opposite Hamath (the interchange of פ and ו being very natural). </p>
