ARCHEVITES . ‘The people of Erech’ (wh. see). Some of the inhabitants of Erech were deported as colonists to Samaria by king Ashurbanipal (668 626). Their name is mentioned in Ezra 4:9 along with dwellers in Babylon; and the deportation of Archevites most probably indicates that Erech sided with Babylon in the revolt of Samas-sum-ukin against the Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] king.
