Hadrach

HADRACH, or Adra, a City mentioned by the prophet Zechary, who denounced threatnings, and prophecies of a very dreadful nature against it. Ptolemy, in Cele-Syria, takes notice of a City called Adra, in the 68 degree ²⁄₃ of latitude, and the 32 ¹⁄₆ of longitude. The Country of Hadrach could not be far from Damascus; for Zechary says, that Damascus was the bulwark, defence, and confidence of Hadrach.
