Gen. x. 7. Gen. ii. 11.I. HAVILAH, the son of Cush, according to Bochart, peopled that part of Arabia the Happy, where the Tigris and Euphrates re-unite, in order to discharge themselves together into the Persian Gulf. This probably is the land of Havilah spoken of Gen. xxv. 18. 1 Sam. xv. 7. which reached as far as Shur over against Egypt. The sons of Ishmael had their inheritance in this territory; They dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria.
