Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Arbathite," as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical origin within the context of the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Arbathite" is used as a proper noun to identify individuals from the region of Arabah. It appears in the context of genealogies and lists of notable figures in the Old Testament.

Context: The term "Arbathite" is used in the Old Testament to denote individuals hailing from the region of Arabah, a desert plain located in the southern part of Israel, extending from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. This area is characterized by its arid climate and sparse vegetation. The Arabah was a significant geographical feature in biblical times, often associated with wilderness and desolation.

In the biblical narrative, the term "Arbathite" is specifically used to describe two of King David's mighty warriors: Abi-albon the Arbathite and Azmaveth the Barhumite, as recorded in 2 Samuel 23:31 and 1 Chronicles 11:32. These men were part of David's elite group of fighters, known for their bravery and loyalty. The mention of their origin as Arbathites highlights the diverse backgrounds of those who served in David's army, drawing from various regions of Israel.

The Arabah itself holds historical and theological significance, serving as a backdrop for various events in the biblical narrative, including the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. The term "Arbathite" thus not only identifies a geographical origin but also connects to the broader themes of God's provision and guidance in the wilderness.
