Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 23:2

2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba , the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her .

Or, The City of Arba, so called probably from a giant or great man called Arba, who lived and ruled in those parts. See Ios. 14. 15. and 15. 13.

It is objected against this Scripture that this City was not called Hebron till Ioshua's time, Ios. 14. 15. but this is a mistake, Ioshua doth not say so, but onely that the name of Hebron before, (or in old time,) as this very particle is rendred, Deut. 2. 20. and elsewhere. So the sense is, The most antient name of it was Kiriath-Arba. Nor doth Ioshua there give any account or reason of this change of the name at that time or upon that occasion, as the sacred Writers use to do in such cases, but rather supposeth that Hebron was the name of it before he came thither, and how long before that time he doth not express.

Into Sarah's Tent. See Gen▪ 18. 6, 9.

According to the laudable custom of all ages and nations to manifest their sense of Gods hand upon them and of their own loss. See Gen. 50. 3. Deut. 34. 8. &c.
