In 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11, Hara is omitted, and in both, "and in the cities of the Medes" is added. Septuagint renders ore Medon, "the mountains of the Medes," which may represent Hebrew hare madhay, "mountains of Media," or, `are madhay, "cities of Media." The text seems to be corrupt. The second word may have fallen out in 1 Chronicles 5:26, hare being changed to hara'. HARA, 1 Chron. 5:26, is probably the same as Haran. Strong's Hebrew H2024: Haraa region of N. Mesopotamia |
