The Arkite: gentilicic designating inhabitants of Arka, a Phoenician city north of Beirut
This gentilicic identifies people from Arka (modern Arqa), a city in Phoenicia about sixty miles north of Beirut near the Mediterranean coast. The term appears in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:17, 1 Chronicles 1:15) among Canaanite peoples. Ancient Near Eastern sources confirm Arka's existence: Egyptian records mention Arkantu, Assyrian texts refer to Arqa and its inhabitants (Irqanatai), and Tel el-Amarna letters reference Irqata. The site was a significant Phoenician settlement in antiquity.

1. sense 1 — A gentilicic adjective used collectively as a noun meaning 'the Arkites' or inhabitants of Arka. Both occurrences appear in identical genealogical contexts listing Canaanite peoples descended from Canaan. The definite article makes it collective ('el arqueo,' 'den Arkiter'). Extra-biblical sources extensively document Arka as a real Phoenician city, validating the biblical reference. The term preserves memory of one Canaanite population group among the many inhabiting the Levantine coast. 2×
