And they gave them the city of Arba, the father of Anak,.... Which from him was called Kirjatharba, Joshua 14:15; and Anak, according to Kimchi, is not the name of a man, but a general name, comprehending the Anakims, a race of giants, among whom Arba was the chief and principal man, a prince and ruler over them, as Ben Melech:
which [city is] Hebron in the hill [country] of Judah; as in
Joshua 14:15; see Lu 1:39;
with the suburbs thereof round about it; as far as two thousand cubits, which were to put their cattle in, and provision for them.
