N. of Damascus. To it Abram pursued Chedorlaomer (Genesis 14:15). It means a hiding place. Tradition makes Masjad Ibrahim, "the prayer place of Damascus," at the village of Burzeh, three miles N. of Damascus, the scene of his thanksgiving to God after routing the kings. Nicolaus of Damascus makes him to have reigned there (Josephus, Ant. 1:7, section 2). The Jews make Jobar near Burzeh to be Hobah.
