HABOR

(Heb. ḥāḇôr; Akk. ³abûr)

A large tributary that drains into the middle Euphrates River in northeast Syria. The river originates in the mountains of southeast Turkey near Mardin. A number of large urban centers were in the lower Habor region in the 2nd millennium b.c., including Mari and Terqa, both inhabited by various Amorite tribes who practiced pastoralism. Habor was the “River of Gozan” (2 Kgs. 17:6; 18:11), the Assyrian provincial capital of Bīt Baḥiani, along the upper Habor to which the Israelites were exiled after the capture of Samaria in 721. Israelite personal names have been found in the texts excavated from Tell Halaf.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
