Several times referred to in the Old Testament in connection with its “ships.” It points originally to Cyprus (see KITTIM); but in Jeremiah 2:10 and Ezekiel 27:6 the “isles of Chittim” are spoken of, so it is evident that in the Prophets other islands are associated with Cyprus (Num. 24:24; Isa. 23:1,12; Dan. 11:30). See CYPRUS.
