ARVAD (modern ( Ruwâd ) was the most important of the northerly cities of PhÅ“nicia. It was built on an island 70 miles north of Beyrout a sort of second Tyre, with another town on the mainland opposite. In Ezekiel 27:8; Ezekiel 27:11 it is named as furnishing oarsmen for the galleys of Tyre and warriors for its defence. In the ethnological list of Genesis 10:18 ( 1 Chronicles 1:16 ) it is mentioned among the chief settlements of the Canaanites or PhÅ“nicians. Throughout antiquity it was a place of renown for trade and general enterprise, ranking next to Tyre and Sidon. It is the Aradus of 1Ma 12:53 .
