Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they gave them the city of Arba, the father of Anak,.... Which from him was called Kirjatharba, Joshua 14:15; and Anak, according to Kimchi, is not the name of a man, but a general name, comprehending the Anakims, a race of giants, among whom Arba was the chief and principal man, a prince and ruler over them, as Ben Melech:
which [city is] Hebron in the hill [country] of Judah; as in
Joshua 14:15; see Luke 1:39;
with the suburbs thereof round about it; as far as two thousand cubits, which were to put their cattle in, and provision for them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The thirteen priestly cities (see the marginal references) were all in the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin. Thus, as Calvin remarks, God so overruled it that the priestly families were placed upon the spot which He had determined before hand to choose as the site of His temple.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 21:11. The city of Arba — Joshua 14:15.
