(אתרים , 'ăthārı̄m ): the Revised Version (British and American) "The way of Atharim"; the King James Version "The way of the spies." the Revised Version (British and American) regards Atharim as a place (so Septuagint). the King James Version follows Syriac and Targum, rendering Atharim as if Tarim = spies. Dillmann translates "the caravan path," connecting it with Arabic athar , "a track or footprint." Here the king of Arad fought against Israel, taking some captives (Numbers 21:1 ). See HORMAH .
