HARA . Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 5:26 as one of the places to which Israelites were deported by the king of Assyria on the capture of Samaria. But in the corresponding accounts ( 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11 ) Hara is not mentioned, and most probably the name ‘Hara’ in 1 Chronicles 5:26 is due to a corruption of the text. There is much to be said for the suggestion that the original text read hârç Mâdai , ‘mountains of Media,’ corresponding to the cities of Media of the parallel passages (LXX [Note: Septuagint.] ‘the Median mountains’); and that Mâdai dropped out of the text, and hârç , ‘mountains of,’ was changed to the proper name Hara .

L. W. King.
