Arabians

Arabia and its peoples turn up in Scripture mostly at the edges of the story. The LORD stirred up the Arabians, with the Philistines, against King Jehoram, and they carried off his household’s wealth (2 Chronicles 21:16-17). Geshem the Arabian laughed at Nehemiah’s rebuilding. Isaiah speaks a burden over Arabia and names Kedar, whose archers would dwindle, while elsewhere the flocks of Kedar are gathered in worship. On the day of Pentecost the crowd includes “Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.” Start with Acts 2:5-11.
