ar´bı̄t ( האובּי , hā -'arbı̄ ): The Arbite or perhaps an inhabitant of Arabia in southern Judah (Joshua 15:52 ). The epithet is used in connection with one of David's mighty men in 2 Samuel 23:35; where Paarai the Arbite occurs. In the parallel list (1 Chronicles 11:37 ) we have Naarai the son of Ezbai.
