Exegesis
The opening noun azuvot {עֲזֻבוֹת | ʿă-zû-ḇôṯ} ‘abandoned places’ qualifies the construct noun arei {עָרֵי | ʿā-rê} ‘cities’ in a construct chain with the proper noun Aroer {עֲרֹעֵר | ʿă-rō-ʿêr}, indicating specific location.
In context — Isaiah 17:2
The abandoned cities of Aroer will be for flocks ; they shall lie down, and none will make them afraid .
