I'd give them a morale bonus but never a 2 HP. It was mainly the large numbers of slingers and skirmishers that made their initial armies. And we all experienced that slingers can be an effective force, especially against immobile phalanxes. And cheap too (which is very handy if you only posses one province). So the zealots don't have to be that special, though I'm not sure how to depict them really.
Arbian locals: we'll have bedouins in EB II and normally we'll have probably have about 2 Northern (perhaps even 3?) regionals.
