Aha´va, Ezra 8:21; Ezra 8:31, the river by which the Jewish exiles assembled their second caravan under Ezra, when returning to Jerusalem. It would seem from Ezra 8:15, that it was designated from a town of the same name: 'I assembled them at the river that flows towards Ahava.' In that case, it could not have been of much importance in itself; and probably it was no other than one of the numerous streams or canals of Mesopotamia communicating with the Euphrates, somewhere in the north-west of Babylonia.
