Ezra 8:15

And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava ,.... From whence also the river bore the same name; or that from the river, see Ezra 8:21 , and may be the same with Adiabene, a country in Assyria, which had its name from the river Adiava:

and there abode we in tents three days ; or pitched their camp; this was the place of their rendezvous:

and I viewed the people and the priests ; mustered them, took the number of them, and what tribe and families they were of:

and found there none of the sons of Levi ; excepting the priests.
