Strong's Lexicon Chabor: Habor Original Word: חָבוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), meaning "to join" or "to associate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Chabor" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Chabor" refers to a river mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Assyrian exile. It is associated with the region where the Israelites were taken captive by the Assyrians. Cultural and Historical Background: The Habor River is historically significant as it was one of the locations to which the Israelites were exiled by the Assyrian Empire. This event is part of the larger narrative of the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in the 8th century BCE. The river is identified with the modern-day Khabur River, a tributary of the Euphrates, located in present-day northeastern Syria.
