Where was the river that runs to Ahava?

Ezra 8:15 (ESV)

15 I gathered them to the river that runs to Ahava, and there we camped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi.

We don’t know exactly where this river was, but it was one of many that flowed from the Euphrates River to the Tigris. Most likely this river was in the general vicinity of Babylon.
