Hadrach: The name of a country
(Zechariah 9:1) which cannot be identified. Rawlinson
would identify it with Edessa. He mentions that in the Assyrian
inscriptions it is recorded that "Shalmanezer III. made two
expeditions, the first against Damascus B.C. 773 and the second
against Hadrach B.C. 772 and again that Asshurdanin-il II. made
expeditions against Hadrach in B.C. 765 and 755
