    Havilah From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search [edit] Place For the small town in the United States, see Havilah, California. Havilah is a land mentioned in the Bible, first described in Genesis 2:11 in relation to the Garden of Eden: "The name of the first [river] is the Pishon; it is the one that winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold." Havilah is known for its abundance. In addition to gold, Havilah is reported as having bdellium and onyx stone. - Genesis 2:12 There are two other references in the Bible to a place named Havilah: in Genesis 25:18, where it defines the border of the territory inhabited by the Ishmaelites, and in 1 Samuel 15:7, which states that king Saul of Israel attacked the Amalekites who were living there[1]. Havilah is usually associated with northwest Yemen (see the Table of Nations), but in the work associated with the Garden of Eden by Juris Zarins, the Hijaz mountains south of Medina (circa 400 miles north of Yemen) appear to potentially meet the description of Havila. The Hijaz includes both the Cradle of Gold at Mahd adh Dhahab and a potential source of the now dried out Pishon River that may have once flowed to the Persian Gulf, plus abundant bdellium plants. [edit] People There are two descendants of Noah named Havilah listed in the Table of Nations. They are mentioned in Genesis 10:7,29, 1 Chronicles 1:9,23. One is the son of Cush, the son of Ham; the other, a son of Joktan and descendant of Shem. [2] Havilah (or Chavaleh, a pet name of Chava) is the name of the third/middle daughter, "everybody's favorite child" in Fiddler on the Roof.

    Well hello all. Just got into the drones bout 3 months back (yes I have been under a rock!!) Can't put them down now. At first it was the sonic wall of hi treble guitar that got me in, life had a drab patch and tha adrenaline was nice. Once I got my hands on Gala Mill though I started paying more attention to the lyrics. They can write hey!!!! Nice to meet y'all, hopefully catch someone at a gig sometime soon. Trrrog

    The battles are pretty good live - there album doesn't do them justice. However a better band is called Slint. Check out the Spiderland album, its stunning.

    I like his lyrics... Captain Beefheart is dope too, although listening to an entire album is a chore...

  • grampish

    well this might be obvious but you'd better be into math rock if you want to find out about them. i definitely am not and was bored shitless by their show two years ago. i just don't get their point. but the drummer's impressive.

  • wisconsin_bound

    can someone tell me more about battles? i've heard a lot of good things but im yet to hear any tracks. So the jury is still out.
