JATTIR.—A town of Judah in the southern mountains, a Levitical city (Jos_15:48; Jos_21:14, 1Ch_6:42). It was one of the cities to whose elders David sent of the spoil from Ziklag (1Sa_30:27). Its site is the ruin ‘Attîr, N.E. of Beersheba, on a hill spur close to the southern desert.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


A town in the hills of Judah (Jos_15:48), one of the nine allotted to the sons of Aaron (Jos_21:14; 1Ch_6:57). David sent presents there, from the Amalekite spoil (1Sa_30:27). Now 'Attir, 10 miles S. of Hebron. The Ithrites Ira and Gareb were probably from Jattir.

Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


jat?ẽr (יתּיר, yattı̄r, and יתּר, yattir): A town in the hill country of Judah, mentioned in conjunction with Shamir and Socoh (Jos_15:48); one of the cities given to the ?children of Aaron the priest? (Jos_21:14; 1Ch_6:57). David after his victory over the Amalekites sent a present of the spoil from Ziklag ?to them that were in Jattir? (1Sa_30:27).
It is now Khirbet ‛Attı̂r, an important ruin, in the extreme South of the hill country, 5 miles Southeast of edh Dharı̂yeh and 20 miles Southeast of Beit Jibrı̂n. This must correspond to the ?very large village Jethira? which is mentioned in Eusebius, Onomasticon (119 27; 133 3; 134 24, etc.) as 20 miles Southeast of Eleutheropolis (i.e. Beit Jibrı̂n). The site is full of caves. See PEF, III, 408, Sh XXV.

Jattir
(Heb. Yattir', יִתַּיר [in Jos_15:48, elsewhere “defectively” יִתַּר], pre-eminent; Sept. Ι᾿εθέρ or Ι᾿έθερ), a city in the mountains of Judah (Jos_15:48, where it is named between Shamir and Socoh) assigned to the priests (Jos_21:14; 1Ch_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 (1Sa_30:27). The two Ithrite heroes of David's guard (2Sa_23:38; 1Ch_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).
