They are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, where their interactions with the Israelites are detailed. The Arameans primarily inhabited the region of Aram, which corresponds to modern-day Syria and parts of Turkey. Origins and Language The Arameans are believed to have originated from the Arabian Peninsula, migrating northward into Mesopotamia and the Levant. Their language, Aramaic, became widely spoken across the Near East and was the lingua franca during the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires. Aramaic is notably the language spoken by Jesus Christ and is used in some parts of the Old Testament, such as in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Biblical References The Arameans are first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/10-22.htm">Genesis 10:22</a>, where Aram is listed as a son of Shem, making the Arameans descendants of Noah. Throughout the Old Testament, the Arameans are depicted as both adversaries and relatives of the Israelites. In <a href="/genesis/25-20.htm">Genesis 25:20</a>, Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, is described as "the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram," highlighting the familial connections between the Israelites and the Arameans. Similarly, Laban, the brother of Rebekah and father of Rachel and Leah, is referred to as an Aramean (<a href="/genesis/31-20.htm">Genesis 31:20</a>). The Arameans frequently engaged in conflicts with Israel. One notable instance is during the reign of King David, who defeated the Arameans and established control over their territories (<a href="/2_samuel/8-5.htm">2 Samuel 8:5-6</a>). The Arameans later regained strength and posed a significant threat during the reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah. In <a href="/bsb/1_kings/20.htm">1 Kings 20</a>, the Aramean king Ben-Hadad besieged Samaria, but the Israelites, under divine guidance, achieved victory. Prophetic Interactions The prophets of Israel often spoke against the Arameans, condemning their actions and foretelling their downfall. In <a href="/amos/1-3.htm">Amos 1:3-5</a> , the prophet Amos pronounces judgment on Damascus, the Aramean capital, for their transgressions against Israel. Similarly, <a href="/isaiah/17.htm">Isaiah 17:1-3</a> predicts the destruction of Damascus, emphasizing the divine retribution that would befall the Arameans. Cultural and Religious Influence Despite their frequent conflicts, the Arameans had a significant cultural and religious influence on the Israelites. The exchange of ideas and practices between the two peoples is evident in various aspects of Israelite society. The use of Aramaic as a common language facilitated communication and interaction across the region. Historical Decline The power of the Arameans waned with the rise of the Assyrian Empire. The Assyrians conquered Aram and incorporated it into their empire, leading to the decline of Aramean political influence. However, the Aramaic language continued to thrive and spread, leaving a lasting legacy in the region. The Arameans, through their interactions with the Israelites and their broader influence in the ancient Near East, played a crucial role in the biblical narrative and the historical development of the region.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>ARAMAEANS; ARAMEANSar-a-me'-ans: Often in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) Syrians.
