It was a celebrated city of Syria, situated on the Orontes, and the present Hamah doubtless occupies its site; as Abulfeda, who was prince or emir of Hamah about ad 1345, expressly states, in his Description of Syria, that Hamah is an ancient city mentioned in the writings of the Israelites. It is still a considerable town, situated on both sides of the Orontes, about three days' journey and a half from Tripoli; and must contain, Burckhardt says, at least 30,000 inhabitants. Arpad Arpad is probably the town of Arphas, mentioned by Josephus as limiting the province of Gamalitis, Gaulanitis, Batanea, and Trachonitis, to the ne; and the Raphan, or Raphanea, which Stephanus places near Epiphania. the gods 2Kgs 17:24-33, Ava, Isa 36:18-19, Isa 37:11-12, Isa 37:18-19 have they delivered 2Kgs 17:6, 2Kgs 17:23-24, 2Kgs 17:30-31, 2Kgs 19:12-13 Who are 2Kgs 19:17; Dan 3:15 that the Lord Exod 5:2; 2Chr 32:15; Job 15:25-26; Isa 10:15, Isa 37:23-29 held their peace Ps 38:13-14, Ps 39:1; Prov 9:7, Prov 26:4; Amos 5:13; Matt 7:6 with their clothes rent 2Kgs 5:7, 2Kgs 22:11, 2Kgs 22:19; Gen 37:29, Gen 37:34; Job 1:20; Isa 33:7, Isa 36:21-22; Jer 36:24; Matt 26:65
