Place which the king of Assyria boasted of his 'fathers' having destroyed. 2 Kings 19:12; Isaiah 37:12 . Several places have been known bearing this name. There is one west of the Euphrates, on the road from Racca to Hums, and another on the east of the river, near Bagdad; both have been suggested as probable identifications.
