About Aroer (of Judah)
A city in the Negev Desert area of Judah. Aroer was one of the villages receiving spoil taken in David’s victory over the Amalekites (1 Samuel 30:28). Two of David’s “mighty men” were sons of Hotham the Aroerite (1 Chronicles 11:44). This Aroer has been identified with Khirbet ’Ar’areh, located about 12 miles (19 kilometers) southeast of Beersheba.
