Avith was a city in Edom that served as the royal seat of Hadad, one of the early Edomite kings listed in Genesis 36. The city appears in the genealogical record of Edomite rulers who reigned 'before any king reigned over the Israelites,' part of the Table of Nations material. The location of Avith is unknown today, lost among the shifting settlements of ancient Edom. The parallel passage in Chronicles preserves a variant spelling (Ketiv: Ayoth), showing textual variation in the transmission of this obscure place name. The Septuagint's varied transliterations reflect ancient uncertainty about the precise vocalization.
