PARVAIM

par-va'-im (parwayim; Septuagint Pharouaim): The word occurs only in 2 Chronicles 3:6, as the place from which Solomon obtained gold for the decoration of his Temple. A derivation is given from the Sanskrit purva, "eastern," so that the name might be a vague term for the East (Gesenius, Thesaurus, 1125). Whether there was such a place in arabia is doubtful. Farwa in Yemen has been suggested, and also Saq el Farwain in Yemamah. Some have considered the name a shortened form of Cepharvayim which occurs in the Syriac and Targum Jonathan for the "Sephar" of Genesis 10:30.

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Parvaim

(Oriental regions), the name of an unknown place or country whence the gold was procured for the decoration of Solomon's temple. (2 Chronicles 3:6) We may notice the conjecture that it is derived from the Sanscrit purva , "eastern," and is a general term for the east.

ATS Bible Dictionary
Parvaim

2 Chronicles 3:6, the region of fine gold; probably Ophir; according to Gesenius, the East.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
The name of a country from which Solomon obtained gold for the temple (2 Chronicles 3:6). Some have identified it with Ophir, but it is uncertain whether it is even the name of a place. It may simply, as some think, denote "Oriental regions."
