Ahava - water, the river ( Ezra 8:21) by the banks of which the Jewish exiles assembled under Ezra when about to return to Jerusalem from Babylon. In all probability this was one of the streams of
Mesopotamia which flowed into the Euphrates somewhere in thenorth-west of Babylonia. It has, however, been supposed to be the name of a place ( Ezra 8:15) now called Hit, on the
Euphrates, east of Damascus.
