<p> (Heb. Yattir', '''''יִתַּיר''''' [in &nbsp;Joshua 15:48, elsewhere "defectively" '''''יִתַּר''''' ], ''Pre-Eminent;'' Sept. '''''Ι᾿Εθέρ''''' or '''''Ι᾿Έθερ''''' ), a city in the mountains of Judah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:48, where it is named between [[Shamir]] and Socoh) assigned to the priests (&nbsp;Joshua 21:14; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:57). It was one of the places in the south where David used to haunt in his freebooting days, and to his friends in which he sent gifts from the spoil of the enemies of [[Jehovah]] (&nbsp;1 Samuel 30:27). The two [[Ithrite]] heroes of David's guard (&nbsp;2 Samuel 23:38; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 11:40) were possibly from Jattir, living memorials to him of his early difficulties. According to [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (Onomast. s.v. Jether), it was in their day a very large hamlet inhabited by Christians, twenty Roman miles from Eleutheropolis, in the district of the Daroma, near Molatha (Reland, Palcest. p. 885). It is named by Hap-Parchi, the [[Jewish]] traveler; but the passage is defective, and little can be gathered from it (Zunz, in Asher's Benj. of Tudela, 2, 442). The required position answers nearly to that of the modern village of '''''‘''''' Attir, discovered by Dr. Robinson (Researches, 2, 194, 625) in this region, "marked by caves upon a hill" (comp. Wilson, Lands of Bible, i, 353), and situated fifteen miles south of Hebron, and five north of [[Moladah]] (Schwarz, Palestine, p. 105). It contains extensive ruins (Tristram, Land of Israel, p. 388). </p>

Jattir [1]

The modern representative of this, Khurbet Attir, lies four and a quarter miles south-east of ed-Dhoheriyeh, and nine and three quarter miles north of Tell Milh (Moladah), and is thus described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (3:408): "Foundations, and heaps of stones; a great many caves; a ruined masonry tomb; several fallen pillar- shafts and cisterns. There is a kubbeh [dome] at the ruin, which stands on a knoll. Many of the caves have masonry arches to the doors. A large building remains, four courses of the wall being left. Below the ruins on the hill-side is a large oil-press."
