SCRIPTURE

"and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite." — 1 Chronicles 1:16 (ASV)

The Zemarite — See the note on Genesis 10:18. The inscriptions of the Assyrian monarch Sargon (c. 720 B.C.) mention Zimira, which is associated with Arpad (Arvad). There can be little doubt that this is the city indicated by the term “Zemarite.”
