1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Suburbs
   the immediate vicinity of a city or town (Num. 35:3, 7; Ezek.
   45:2). In 2 Kings 23:11 the Hebrew word there used (parvarim)
   occurs nowhere else. The Revised Version renders it "precincts."
   The singular form of this Hebrew word (parvar) is supposed by
   some to be the same as Parbar (q.v.), which occurs twice in 1
   Chr. 26:18.
