Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
The name of a country from which Solomon obtained gold for the temple (2 Chr. 3:6). Some have identified it with Ophir, but it is uncertain whether it is even the name of a place.
Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
(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.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898) & Schaff's Bible Dictionary
PARVA'IM (eastern regions) occurs only once, 2 Chr 3:6, and is the name of the country or place producing the gold which Solomon used for the decoration of the temple; but this country or place it has not been possible to identify. Some regard it as an abbreviation for "Sepharvaim," or "Sephar," supposed to be a seaport in Arabia.
