Usage: Arpad is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a city that was involved in various historical and prophetic contexts. Context: Arpad is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, primarily in the context of Assyrian military campaigns. It is located in the region of Syria, north of Hamath. Arpad is noted for its resistance against Assyrian forces, as seen in the biblical narrative. The city is mentioned in several passages, including 2 Kings 18:34, Isaiah 10:9, and Jeremiah 49:23, where it is often paired with Hamath, another significant city in the region. In 2 Kings 18:34, the text states, "Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand?" This rhetorical question highlights the futility of relying on local deities for protection against the Assyrian empire. Arpad's mention in prophetic literature underscores its role in the geopolitical landscape of the ancient Near East and serves as a symbol of the broader judgment against nations opposing God's purposes.
