(anc. geog.), is thought to have been a city of Syria. It was always placed with Hamath (2 Kings xviii. 34. xiv. 13.; I. sa. x. 9. xxxvi. 19. xxxvii. 13. Jerem. xlix. 23.) Sennacherib boasts of having reduced Arpad and Hamath, or of having destroyed the gods of these two places. Hamath is known to be the same with Emesa; and it is thought that Arpad is the same with Arad or Arvad, as it is sometimes called in Hebrew. See ARAD.
