Native city of Balaam. In Numbers 22:5 it is called the city "by the river," and in Deuteronomy 23:4 the city "in Aram Naharaim" (A. V. "Mesopotamia"). It was situated north-northeast of Palestine, and was most probably identical with the Hittite Pitru, which was captured by Shalmaneser II. (860-825 B.C.): "I crossed the Euphrates, and took the city Ana-ashurutir-aá¹£bat on the other side of the Euphrates on the Sagur, which the Hittites call Pitru" (Schrader, "K. B." 1:133, lines 37-40; 173, lines 85-86).
