Parbar

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: P By: George A. Morrish

Some place connected with the temple, at which two doorkeepers were placed: its meaning or situation is not known (1 Chron. 26:18¹⁸At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. (1 Chronicles 26:18); RV margin “the Precinct”). Gesenius identifies it with parvar, “suburbs” (2 Kings 23:11¹¹And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. (2 Kings 23:11); “precincts” (RV).
