Rezeph
(Heb. Re’tseph, , a hot stone, as in 1Ki 19:6; Sept. , , v. r. ), one of the places which Sennacherib mentions, in his taunting message to Hezekiah, as having been destroyed by his predecessor (2Ki 19:12; Isa 37:12). He couples it with Haran and other well-known Mesopotamian spots. It is supposed to be the same that Ptolemy mentions under the name of Rhesopha ( ) as a city of Palmyrene (Geog. v, 15); and this, again, is possibly the same with the Rasapha which Abulfeda places at nearly a day’s journey west of the Euphrates. The name is still a common one, Yakut’s Lexicon quoting these two and seven other less important towns so called. SEE SENNACHEIRIB

Rezeph
REZEPH.A city mentioned in the message of the Rabshakeh of Sennacherib to Hezekiah (2Ki 19:12, Isa 37:12). It is the Ratsappa or Ratsapi of the Assyrian inscriptions, the modern Rasafa, between Palmyra and the Euphrates. This district belonged for several centuries to the Assyrians, and many of the tablets show it to have been an important trade-centre. Between b.c. 839 and 737 the prefects who had authority in the place were, to all appearance, Assyrians, only one, of unknown but apparently late date, having a name which may be West Semitic, namely, Abda, possibly a form of Abda or Obadiah.

1. Forms of the Name:
(, receph; Codex Vaticanus , Rhapheis; , Rhaphes; Codex Alexandrinus , ten Rhapheth (2Ki 19:12), B Q margin , Rhapheth Codex Sinaiticus Q , Rhafes; Codex Alexandrinus Rhapheis (Isa 37:12); Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) Roseph (2Ki 19:12), Reseph (Isa 37:12)): One of the places referred to by Sennacherib’s Rabshakeh when delivering that king’s message to Hezekigh demanding the surrender of Jerusalem. The names which precede are Gozan and Haran; and the children of Eden that were Telassar follows.
2. Now Called Rucafa:
It is now represented by Rusafa, East of Tipsah and Northeast of Hamath, and is regarded as the (, Rhesapha) of Ptolemy (2Ti 1:15). It was for some time under Assyrian dominion, and appears in a geographical list (2 R 53, 37a) preceded by Arrapha (Arrapachitis) and Halahhu (Halah), and followed by Tamnunu, uder the form of Rasappa (elsewhere Rasapi).
3. Its Assyrian Governors:
From the Eponym Canons, Ninip-kibsi-usur was, it appears, prefect in 839 BC, Uras-eres from 804 to 775 BC, Sin-sallimanni in 747, and Bel-emuranni in 737 BC. Judging from their names, all these were Assyrians, but a seemingly native governor, Abda’u (or Abda’i), possibly later than the foregoina, is mentioned in a list of officials (K. 9921). Yahutu was sanu (deputy-governor?) of Rezeph in 673 BC. Its mention in the Assyrian geographical lists implies that Rezeph was an important trade-center in Old Testament times.
