      n : the 4th brightest star and the brightest star in the
          constellation Bootes; 36 light-years from Earth

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Arcturus
    bear-keeper, the name given by the ancients to the brightest
    star in the constellation Bootes. In the Authorized Version (Job
    9:9; 38:32) it is the rendering of the Hebrew word _'ash_, which

    night-watcher, because the Great Bear always revolves about the
    pole, and to our nothern hemisphere never sets.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
