HAVILAH . A son of Cush according to Genesis 10:7 , 1 Chronicles 1:9 , of Joktan according to Genesis 10:29 , 1 Chronicles 1:23 . The river Pison (see Eden [Garden of]) is said to compass the land of Havilah ( Genesis 2:11-12 ), and it formed one of the limits of the region occupied by the sons of Ishmael ( Genesis 25:18 ) in which also Saul smote the Amalekites ( 1 Samuel 15:8 ). It has been suggested that it formed the N.E. part of the Syrian desert, but it may with greater probability be identified with central and N.E. Arabia.
L. W. King.
