From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Arnon
    swift, the southern boundary of the territory of Israel beyond
    Jordan, separating it from the land of Moab (Deut. 3:8, 16).
    This river (referred to twenty-four times in the Bible) rises in
    the mountains of Gilead, and after a circuitous course of about
    80 miles through a deep ravine it falls into the Dead Sea nearly
    opposite Engedi. The stream is almost dry in summer. It is now
    called el-Mujeb. The territory of the Amorites extended from the
    Arnon to the Jabbok.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)

 Arnon, rejoicing; sunlight
