1 Samuel 15:7  (King James Version)
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
 


smote
14:48 Job 21:30 ; Ecclesiastes 8:13

Havilah
This Havilah was probably situated in Arabia, and the district of Chaulon may mark the spot. It seems different from that encompassed by the river Pison, one of the rivers of Eden.
Genesis 2:11 ; 25:18

Shur
27:8 Genesis 16:7
