Hadrach

Hadrach (Hebrew: חַדְרָךְ) is a Biblical name, denoting a place, a king or a deity revered on the boundaries of Damascus. It is only mentioned once in the bible: Zechariah 9:1. It is generally thought to have been North of Lebanon.[1]

According to George L. Klein,[2] Hadrach has been identified with the Assyrian place-name Hatarikka,[3] or Aramean Hazrik, (the capital of Luhuti) possibly located at Tell Afis.
