Habor (חָבוֹר, chavor). A tributary of the Euphrates River to which some of the Israelites were exiled by Assyrian kings (2 Kgs 18:11, 2 Kgs 17:6, 1 Chr 5:26). In Second Kings 17, the Assyrian king Shalmaneser V captures Israel’s capital city, Samaria, and carries the Israelites away to Halah on the Habor River. In the account in 1 Chr 5, the Transjordian tribes are deported by Pul, known also as Tiglath-Pileser, to “Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan.” Habor today is modern Nahl al-Khābûr and should not be confused with the river Chebar.
