from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt;
having routed them in the valley, or in whatsoever place the battle was fought, he pursued them from one end of their country to the other; from Havilah, which lay to the northeast, to Shur, which lay to the southwest, and destroyed all that came in his way between those two points, see ( Genesis 25:18 ) .
