TARTAN

(Heb. tartān; Akk. turtānu, tartanu)

A high functionary in the Assyrian army, possibly commander in chief (so NRSV at Isa. 20:1); the NJB rendering “cupbearer in chief” suggests an even more significant rank. The OT alludes to two such officials without giving their names: one sent by Sargon II to destroy Ashdod (Isa. 20:1; 711 b.c.e.) and the other dispatched by Sennacherib to King Hezekiah of Judah (2 Kgs. 18:17; 701).

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.
