A place (Ezra 8:15); a river (Ezra 8:21) where Ezra assembled the second band of returning captives, for prayer to God as he says "to seek of Him a right way for us, for our little ones, and for all our substance." The modern Hit, on the Euphrates, E. of Damascus; Ihi-dakira, "the spring of bitumen," was its name subsequently to Ezra's times. Perhaps the Joab of 2 Kings 17:24.
