Remove ads
Avith ("ruin"[1]) was an Edomite city. It was the capital of the Edomite king Hadad ben Bedad.[2][3] According to the Bible, Hadad ben Bedad was one of the kings of Edom before there were kings in Israel,[4][5] that is, before the coronation of Saul ("widely" dated around 1025 BCE).[6] Avith is mentioned only twice in the Hebrew Bible: in a list of Edomite kings in Genesis (Genesis 36:35), and in a copy of the same list found in Chronicles (1 Chronicles 1:46). Its location is unknown[7][8] but presumably it was in what is now southern Israel or Jordan.
