<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, | <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> | ||
