Halah

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Halah (

1 Chronicles 5:26. Modern historians are unsure of its location.[1]

It is noted when

Tiglath Pileser III and later Sargon II invaded the Kingdom of Israel, the Israelites were taken captive from Gilead and Samaria respectively and resettled in Halah and Gozan on the Khabur River in the Aram-Naharaim region, as well as in the towns of the Medes.[citation needed
]

The name should not be confused with the Assyrian city of

Calah nor with Cilicia (Khilikku or Khilakku, in Assyrian) in Asia Minor, but is considered to be identical with the location near Gozan referred to as Chalcitis by Ptolemy.[citation needed
]
