ar´kı̄ts ( הארכּי , hā -'arkı̄ ; the King James Version Archi ): A clan mentioned in connection with the marking of the southern boundary of Joseph (Joshua 16:2 ). The phrase (גּבוּל הארכּי עטרות , gebhūl hā -'arkı̄ ‛ăṭārōth ) offers difficulties, and it has been suggested that the order of the last two words be changed to read "the border of Ataroth-of-the-Archites." See ATAROTH . G. A. Smith identifies Ataroth with the present Atara on the high road from Jerusalem to Bethel, three and one-half miles South of Bethel and six East of th e upper Beth-horon. Hushai, the "friend" of David, was an Arcbite (2 Samuel 16:16 ).
