Where is Hadrach in the Bible?
Hadrach was an ancient region located in Syria, in the area north of Lebanon, mentioned in the biblical book of Zechariah. The prophet Zechariah references Hadrach in a prophetic oracle of judgment against various nations, including Damascus and Tyre (Zechariah 9:1). Scholars identify Hadrach with "Hatarikka" from Assyrian inscriptions, a territory that faced military campaigns from Assyrian kings like Assur-dan III and Tiglath-pileser III during the 8th century BC. This identification helps date the region's prominence and confirms its strategic location in northern Syria during the ancient Near Eastern period.
