The Dehavites are mentioned among the peoples settled in Samaria who opposed the reconstruction of the Temple at Jerusalem (Ezra 4:9). Whether the Dehavites are to be connected with a nomadic Persian tribe, the Îήοι, mentioned by Herodotus (1:125), or with the name of the city of Du'-va, mentioned on Assyrian contract tablets, is doubtful. The Septuagint reads, in codex A, ÎÎ±Ï Î±á¿Î¿Î¹ ("the Davæans"), but in codex B the reading is Î£Î¿Ï ÏÏ Î½Î±Ïαá¿Î¿Î¹ oá¼° εὰÏίν, which means "the Susamchites who are the Elamites," taking the word translated "Dehavites" as a verb.
