Where Zobah-Hamath appears in Scripture
וַֽיַּעֲלוּ וַיָּתֻרוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ מִמִּדְבַּר-צִן עַד-רְחֹב לְבֹא חֲמָֽת׃
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
מֵהֹר הָהָר תְּתָאוּ לְבֹא חֲמָת וְהָיוּ תּֽוֹצְאֹת הַגְּבֻל צְדָֽדָה׃
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
וְהָאָרֶץ הַגִּבְלִי וְכָל-הַלְּבָנוֹן מִזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ מִבַּעַל גָּד תַּחַת הַר-חֶרְמוֹן עַד לְבוֹא חֲמָֽת׃
And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
חֲמֵשֶׁת׀ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וְכָל-הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַצִּידֹנִי וְהַחִוִּי יֹשֵׁב הַר הַלְּבָנוֹן מֵהַר בַּעַל חֶרְמוֹן עַד לְבוֹא חֲמָֽת׃
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
וְשָׁאוּל לָכַד הַמְּלוּכָה עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּלָּחֶם סָבִיב׀ בְּֽכָל-אֹיְבָיו בְּמוֹאָב׀ וּבִבְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וּבֶֽאֱדוֹם וּבְמַלְכֵי צוֹבָה וּבַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְכֹל אֲשֶׁר-יִפְנֶה יַרְשִֽׁיעַ׃
So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.
וַיַּךְ דָּוִד אֶת-הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן-רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לְהָשִׁיב יָדוֹ בִּֽנְהַר-פְּרָֽת׃
David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
וַתָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק לַעְזֹר לַֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִד בַּֽאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִֽים-וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעִי מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִד אֵת כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעָֽזֶר׃
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
מֵֽאֲרָם וּמִמּוֹאָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵֽעֲמָלֵק וּמִשְּׁלַל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן-רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָֽה׃
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
וַיִּרְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן כִּי נִבְאֲשׁוּ בְּדָוִד וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וַיִּשְׂכְּרוּ אֶת-אֲרַם בֵּית-רְחוֹב וְאֶת-אֲרַם צוֹבָא עֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף רַגְלִי וְאֶת-מֶלֶךְ מַֽעֲכָה אֶלֶף אִישׁ וְאִישׁ טוֹב שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה פֶּתַח הַשָּׁעַר וַֽאֲרַם צוֹבָא וּרְחוֹב וְאִֽישׁ-טוֹב וּמַֽעֲכָה לְבַדָּם בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה בָֽעֵת-הַהִיא׀ אֶת-הֶחָג וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ קָהָל גָּדוֹל מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת׀ עַד-נַחַל מִצְרַיִם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְשִׁבְעַת יָמִים אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר יֽוֹם׃
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
וַיָּקֶם אֱלֹהִים לוֹ שָׂטָן אֶת-רְזוֹן בֶּן-אֶלְיָדָע אֲשֶׁר בָּרַח מֵאֵת הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָה אֲדֹנָֽיו׃
And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
הוּא הֵשִׁיב אֶת-גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד-יָם הָֽעֲרָבָה כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד-עַבְדּוֹ יוֹנָה בֶן-אֲמִתַּי הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר מִגַּת הַחֵֽפֶר׃
He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יָֽרָבְעָם וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וּגְבֽוּרָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר-נִלְחָם וַֽאֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב אֶת-דַּמֶּשֶׂק וְאֶת-חֲמָת לִֽיהוּדָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל הֲלֹא-הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, they not are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
וַיָּבֵא מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר מִבָּבֶל וּמִכּוּתָה וּמֵֽעַוָּא וּמֵֽחֲמָת וּסְפַרְוַיִם וַיֹּשֶׁב בְּעָרֵי שֹֽׁמְרוֹן תַּחַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽרְשׁוּ אֶת-שֹׁמְרוֹן וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בְּעָרֶֽיהָ׃
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
וְאַנְשֵׁי בָבֶל עָשׂוּ אֶת-סֻכּוֹת בְּנוֹת וְאַנְשֵׁי-כוּת עָשׂוּ אֶת-נֵֽרְגַל וְאַנְשֵׁי חֲמָת עָשׂוּ אֶת-אֲשִׁימָֽא׃
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵי חֲמָת וְאַרְפָּד אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵי סְפַרְוַיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּה כִּֽי-הִצִּילוּ אֶת-שֹֽׁמְרוֹן מִיָּדִֽי׃
Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
אַיּוֹ מֶֽלֶךְ-חֲמָת וּמֶלֶךְ אַרְפָּד וּמֶלֶךְ לָעִיר סְפַרְוָיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּֽה׃
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
וַיַּֽאַסְרֵהוּ פַרְעֹה נְכֹה בְרִבְלָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת (במלך) מִמְּלֹךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיִּתֶּן-עֹנֶשׁ עַל-הָאָרֶץ מֵאָה כִכַּר-כֶּסֶף וְכִכַּר זָהָֽב׃
And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
וַיַּךְ אֹתָם מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיְמִיתֵם בְּרִבְלָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת וַיִּגֶל יְהוּדָה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֽוֹ׃
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן-שִׁיחוֹר מִצְרַיִם וְעַד-לְבוֹא חֲמָת לְהָבִיא אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִקִּרְיַת יְעָרִֽים׃
So David gathered together, all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָה חֲמָתָה בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לְהַצִּיב יָדוֹ בִּֽנְהַר-פְּרָֽת׃
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
וַיָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּרְמֶשֶׂק לַעְזוֹר לַֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד בַּֽאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִֽים-וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעוּ מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִיד אֶת-כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָֽה׃
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
וַיִּרְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן כִּי הִֽתְבָּאֲשׁוּ עִם-דָּוִיד וַיִּשְׁלַח חָנוּן וּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן אֶלֶף כִּכַּר-כֶּסֶף לִשְׂכֹּר לָהֶם מִן-אֲרַם נַֽהֲרַיִם וּמִן-אֲרַם מַֽעֲכָה וּמִצּוֹבָה רֶכֶב וּפָֽרָשִֽׁים׃
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-הֶחָג בָּעֵת הַהִיא שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ קָהָל גָּדוֹל מְאֹד מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד-נַחַל מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
וַיִּבֶן אֶת-תַּדְמֹר בַּמִּדְבָּר וְאֵת כָּל-עָרֵי הַֽמִּסְכְּנוֹת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּֽחֲמָֽת׃
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
הֲלֹא כְּכַרְכְּמִישׁ כַּלְנוֹ אִם-לֹא כְאַרְפַּד חֲמָת אִם-לֹא כְדַמֶּשֶׂק שֹׁמְרֽוֹן׃
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
וְהָיָה׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יוֹסִיף אֲדֹנָי׀ שֵׁנִית יָדוֹ לִקְנוֹת אֶת-שְׁאָר עַמּוֹ אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁאֵר מֵאַשּׁוּר וּמִמִּצְרַיִם וּמִפַּתְרוֹס וּמִכּוּשׁ וּמֵעֵילָם וּמִשִּׁנְעָר וּמֵחֲמָת וּמֵאִיֵּי הַיָּֽם׃
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵי חֲמָת וְאַרְפָּד אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵי סְפַרְוָיִם וְכִֽי-הִצִּילוּ אֶת-שֹׁמְרוֹן מִיָּדִֽי׃
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
אַיֵּה מֶֽלֶךְ-חֲמָת וּמֶלֶךְ אַרְפָּד וּמֶלֶךְ לָעִיר סְפַרְוָיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּֽה׃
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
וַיִּרְדְּפוּ חֵיל-כַּשְׂדִּים אַחֲרֵיהֶם וַיַּשִּׂגוּ אֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ בְּעַֽרְבוֹת יְרֵחוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֹתוֹ וַֽיַּעֲלֻהוּ אֶל-נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל רִבְלָתָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת וַיְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ מִשְׁפָּטִֽים׃
But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
לְדַמֶּשֶׂק בּוֹשָֽׁה חֲמָת וְאַרְפָּד כִּי-שְׁמֻעָה רָעָה שָׁמְעוּ נָמֹגוּ בַּיָּם דְּאָגָה הַשְׁקֵט לֹא יוּכָֽל׃
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
וַֽיִּתְפְּשׂוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּעֲלוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל רִבְלָתָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת וַיְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ מִשְׁפָּטִֽים׃
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
וַיַּכֶּה אוֹתָם מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיְמִתֵם בְּרִבְלָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת וַיִּגֶל יְהוּדָה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֽוֹ׃
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
חֲמָת׀ בֵּרוֹתָה סִבְרַיִם אֲשֶׁר בֵּין-גְּבוּל דַּמֶּשֶׂק וּבֵין גְּבוּל חֲמָת חָצֵר הַתִּיכוֹן אֲשֶׁר אֶל-גְּבוּל חַוְרָֽן׃
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
וְהָיָה גְבוּל מִן-הַיָּם חֲצַר עֵינוֹן גְּבוּל דַּמֶּשֶׂק וְצָפוֹן׀ צָפוֹנָה וּגְבוּל חֲמָת וְאֵת פְּאַת צָפֽוֹן׃
And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
וּפְאַת-יָם הַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל מִגְּבוּל עַד-נֹכַח לְבוֹא חֲמָת זֹאת פְּאַת-יָֽם׃
The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת הַשְּׁבָטִים מִקְצֵה צָפוֹנָה אֶל-יַד דֶּֽרֶךְ-חֶתְלֹן׀ לְֽבוֹא-חֲמָת חֲצַר עֵינָן גְּבוּל דַּמֶּשֶׂק צָפוֹנָה אֶל-יַד חֲמָת וְהָיוּ-לוֹ פְאַת-קָדִים הַיָּם דָּן אֶחָֽד׃
Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
כִּי הִנְנִי מֵקִים עֲלֵיכֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַצְּבָאוֹת גּוֹי וְלָחֲצוּ אֶתְכֶם מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד-נַחַל הָעֲרָבָֽה׃
But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
וְגַם-חֲמָת תִּגְבָּל-בָּהּ צֹר וְצִידוֹן כִּי חָֽכְמָה מְאֹֽד׃
And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
