AVITH
(Aʹvith).
The royal city or home of Hadad, the fourth king of the Edomites, who defeated the Midianites in battle. (Gen. 36:35; 1 Chron. 1:46) It is presently identified with Khirbet el-Jiththeh, located in the ancient Edomite territory between Maʽan and Khirbet el-Bastah, about sixty-five miles (104 kilometers) S-SE of the Dead Sea. The mountain of the same name (Jebel el-Jiththeh) rises there to an elevation of some 4,370 feet (1,332 meters).
