Places of the Bible

Arad

City

Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Arad, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

  • War with Canaanites · 1450 BC · 1 verse

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

Now Tell Arad, a Canaanite city, about 20 miles south of Hebron. The king of Arad “fought against Israel and took of them prisoners” when they were retreating from the confines of Edom (Num. 21:1; 33:40; Judg. 1:16). It was finally subdued by Joshua (12:14).

From M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1893), in the public domain.
