Our dear iam this is from Versteegh's "Arabic language" and for the below quote see page 23

the name Arabs is also attested in the Hebrew Bible for instance in Jeremiah 25:24 (end of the seventh century BCE) where mention is made of all the kings of the 'Arab and of the 'Ereb that live in the desert

Oh and this is what it says in Jeremiah 25:24 (See New Living translation)

I went to the kings of Arabia the kings of the nomadic tribes of the desert

Do you know what this means? Let me help you

1. It means that there were Arabs before your bogus 500BCE

2. It means that the Arabs had kings

3. The source here is no other than the Bible

Now how come you did not know about Jeremiah 25:24? Could it be because you were hoping that we readers do not know but in this case this would be a lie or could it be that you really did not know but in this case you would be ignorant so which one is it?
