Arba
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
ARBA is named ‘the father of the Anak’ in Joshua 14:15 (so read also Joshua 21:11 , cf. Joshua 15:13 ). This means simply that he was the founder of the city which bore his name; that is Kiriath-arba, later Hebron (wh. see), where was a chief seat of the Anakim.
