 Kirjath-arba
    city of Arba, the original name of Hebron (q.v.), so called from
    the name of its founder, one of the Anakim (Gen. 23:2; 35:27;
    Josh. 15:13). It was given to Caleb by Joshua as his portion.
    The Jews interpret the name as meaning "the city of the four",
    i.e., of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Adam, who were all, as they
    allege, buried there.
