2Ki 17:6 . See HABOR.<\/p>\n
(Hebrew Chalach’, ., signif. unknown; Sept. and , Vulg. Hala; but in 1Ch 5:26; Sept. , Vulg. Lahela), a city or district of Media, upon the river Gozan, to which, among other places, the captives of Israel were transplanted by the Assyrian kings (2Ki 17:6; 2Ki 18:11; 1Ch 5:26). Many, after Bochart (Geog. Sacra, 3:14, p. 220), have conceived this Halah or Chalach to be the same with the CALAH or Kelach of Genesis 10, 11, the Calacine () which Ptolemy places to the north of Assyria (6, 1), the Calachene () of Strabo (11, 530), in the plain of the Tigris around Nineveh. But this is probably a different place, the modern Kalah-Shergat. Major Rennell, identifying the Gozan with the Kizzil-Ozan, indicates as lying along its banks a district of some extent, and of great beauty and fertility, called Chalchal, having within it a remarkably strong position of the same name, situated on one of the hills adjoining to the mountains which separate it from the province of Ghilan (Geog. of Herod. p. 396). The Talmud understands Cholwan, five days journey from Bagdad (Furst, Lex. s.v.). Ptolemy, however, mentions (5. 18) another province in Mesopotamia of a similar name, namely, Chalcitis (), which he places between Anthemusia (compare Strabo, 16:1, 27) and Gau’zonitis (Gozan); and this appears to be the true Halah of the Bible. It lay along the banks of the Upper Khabr, extending from its source at Ras el-Ain to its junimtiorp with the Jerujer, as the name is thought to remain in the modern Cla, a large mound on this river, above its junction with the Jerujer (Layard, Nin. and Bab. p. 312, note). Halah, Habor, and Gozan were situated close together on the left bank of the Euphrates (Rawlinson, Ancient Monarchies, 1, 246).<\/p>\n
a district of Media to which captive Israelites were transported by the Assyrian kings (2 Kings 17:6<\/span>; 18:11<\/span>; 1 Chr. 5:26<\/span>). It lay along the banks of the upper Khabur, from its source to its junction with the Jerujer. Probably the district called by Ptolemy Chalcitis.<\/p>\n The name appears in Chalcitis (Ptolemy, 5:18), and Gla, a mound on the upper Khabour (2Ki 17:6). A Median district and city.<\/p>\n HALAH.One of the places to which Israelites were deported by the king of Assyria on the capture of Samaria (2Ki 17:6; 2Ki 18:11, 1Ch 5:26). It was situated in the region of Gozan (wh. see), but it has not yet been satisfactorily identified.<\/p>\n L. W. King.<\/p>\n hala (, halah; , Halae, , Hallae, , Chaach, for , Chalach, , Chala; Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 ad) Hala):<\/p>\n 1. Many Identifications<\/p>\n Mentioned in 2Ki 17:6; 2Ki 18:11; 1Ch 5:26, as one of the places to which the kings of Assyria sent the exiled Israelites (see GOZAN; HABOR). Various identifications have been proposed, all of them except the last more or less improbable for philological reasons: (1) The Assyrian Kalah (Nimrud, the Calah of Gen 10:11); (2) The Assyrian Hilakku (Cilicia); (3) Chalkitis in Mesopotamia (Ptol. v.18, 4), adjoining Gauzanitis (Gozan) – a good position otherwise; (4) The Calachene of Strabo, in the North of Assyria. Equally unsuitable, also, is (5) The Chalonitis of Pliny and Strabo, Northeast of Assyria, notwithstanding that this was apparently called Halah by the Syrians. An attractive identification was (6) with the river Balkh (by change of H into B) – compare Septuagint in Halae and in Habor, rivers of Gozan – but even this has to be abandoned in favor of (7) The Assyrian Halahhu, which (except the doubling and the case-ending) is the same, letter for letter.<\/p>\n 2. The Most Probable of Them<\/p>\n It is mentioned in the W. Asia Inscr, II, plural 53, l. 35, between Arrapha (Arrapachitis) and Rasappu (Reseph). According to the tablet K. 123, where it is called mat Halahhi, the land of Halahhu, it apparently included the towns Se-bise, Se-rrisi, Lu-ammu(ti?), and Se-Akkulani, apparently four grain-producing centers for the Assyrian government. The first quotation implies that Halah was near or in Gauzanitis, and had a chief town of the same name. Of the 8 personal names in K. 123, 5 are Assyrian, the remainder being Syrian rather than Israelite.<\/p>\n Halah or rather Chalach, a city or district of Media, upon the river Gozan, to which, among other places, the captives of Israel were transplanted by the Assyrian kings. Many have conceived this Halah or Chalach to be the Calachene which Ptolemy places in the north of Assyria. But if the river Gozan be the Kizzil-Ozan, Halah must needs be sought elsewhere, and near that river. Accordingly Major Rennell indicates as lying along its banks a district of some extent, and of great beauty and fertility, named Chalchal, having within it a remarkably strong position of the same name, situated on one of the hills adjoining to the mountains which separate it from the province of Ghilan.<\/p>\n [Ha’lah]<\/p>\n District to which captive Israelites were carried. 2Ki 17:6; 2Ki 18:11; 1Ch 5:26. In an Assyrian geographical list the name of Halahhu has been found, which corresponds with Halah, but its position is not well defined. The texts associate it with HABOR, q.v. <\/p>\n H2477<\/span> <\/p>\n A place to which Israelite captives were transported.<\/p>\n 2Ki 17:6<\/span>; 2Ki 18:11<\/span>; 1Ch 5:26<\/span> <\/p>\n Ha’lah. Halah is probably a different place from the Calah of Gen 10:11. It may be identified with the Chalcitis of Ptolemy.<\/p>\n HALAH 2Ki 17:6 . See HABOR.
