Arad in Fausset's Bible Dictionary

1. 1 Chronicles 8:15. 2. A Canaanite royal city (Joshua 12:14), N. of the wilderness of Judah (Judges 1:16). In Numbers 21:1; Numbers 33:40, for "king Arad the Canaanite" translate "the Canaanite king of Arad." Robinson identifies it as on the hill Tel Arad between Moladah and Hebron. A large white mound is all that is left to mark the site of the city of the king who attacked Israel.
