HARA

(Heb. hārāʾ)

One of the cities to which Israelites were exiled by Tiglath-pileser III (1 Chr. 5:26). There is some confusion about the name of the city. 1 Chr. 5:26 appears to be an incorrect or corrupt parallel of 2 Kgs. 17:6; 18:11. Instead of Hara (“mountain” or “highland”), 2 Kings reads “the cities of Media” in the MT and “the mountains of Media” in the LXX. It has been suggested that Hara in 1 Chr. 5:26 may be a corruption of either haʿîr, “city,” or har, “mountain.” If Hara refers to the mountains of Media, this might place the Israelite exiles in the highlands E of the Tigris River.

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.
