hā´ra ( הרא , hārā' ; Septuagint omits): A place named in 1 Chronicles 5:26 along with Halah, Habor and the river of Gozan, whither the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh were carried by Tiglath-pileser. In 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11 , Hara is omitted, and in both, "and in the cities of the Medes" is added. Septuagint renders ὄρη Μήδων , órē Mḗdōn , "the mountains of the Medes," which may represent Hebrew הרי מדי , hārē mādhay , "mountains of Media," or, ערי מדי , ‛ārē mādhay , "cities of Media." The text seems to be corrupt. The second word may have fallen out in 1 Chronicles 5:26 , hārē being changed to hārā' ̌ .
