PARVAIM. A region whence, according to 2 Chronicles 3:6 , the gold was obtained which was used for ornamenting the Temple of Solomon. The name is most plausibly identified with Farwa in Yemen, or S. W. Arabia. It was possibly from this place that the ‘gold of Sheba’ ( Psalms 72:15; cf. Isaiah 60:6 ) was in part derived.
