Parvaim (Hastings' Dictionary)

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898–1904)· Public Domain

Only in 2 Ch 3°, where Solomon, in the ornamentation of his temple, is said to have used ‘gold of Parvaim.’ Gesenius (Zhesaurus, p. 1125) suggests after Wil- ford its derivation from Sanscrit pérva, ‘ eastern,’ i.e. eastern regions. Sprenger (Alte Geog. Arabiens, p. 54f.) found a Farwa in Yemen. Glaser (Skizze d. Ges. u. Geog. Arabiens, ii. p.

347) identifieg Parvaim with Sak el-Farwaim, which lies about one day from Dharigja, and not far west of the two Abdns, between which flows the Wady er-Rumma. Ira M. PRICE.
