3 1 Chronicles 2:23.

Samuel Kings Chronicles) Amos 9:7; Isaiah 7:2,4,5,8; Isaiah 9:11; Isaiah 17:3; Jeremiah 35:11; so Ezekiel 16:57; Ezekiel 27:16, but Co in both אדום עַם אֲרָם Amos 1:5; of particular divisions of Aram, בית רְחוֺב ׳א 2 Samuel 10:6, צוֺבָא ׳א 2 Samuel 10:6,8; Psalm 60:2 (title), דַּמֶּשֶׂק ׳א 2 Samuel 8:5 compare 1 Chronicles 18:5, even נַהֲרַיִם ׳א Psalm 60:2 (title); (note that Assyrian never gives name Aramu to people west of Euphrates, but Chatti instead, with other particular names, COT Genesis 10:22, also Dl^l.c.); on 2 Samuel 8:12,13; 1 Chronicles 18:11 see אֱדוֺם.

c. often indeterminate, especially in ׳מֶלֶךְ א etc., perhaps primarily land but often including people: so Judges 2:11; Judges 10:6 (׳אֱלֹהֵי א) 1 Kings 10:29 2Chronicles 1:17 + (41 t. Kings & Chronicles) Isaiah 7:1. — (compare especially Nö^{Sehenkel BL, ZMG 1871, 113; Hermes see 3, 443 f.} Dl^{Pa 257}.)
