Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of uncertain derivationCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chadrak, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Hebrew text. Usage: The term "Chadrak" appears in the Hebrew Bible in the book of Zechariah. Context: Chadrak is mentioned in Zechariah 9:1, which states, "This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is its resting place—for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel are on the LORD." The context suggests that Chadrak is a region or city in Syria, possibly near Damascus. Some scholars propose that Chadrak may also refer to a deity worshiped in that area, given the ancient Near Eastern practice of cities being named after their patron deities. The exact location and nature of Chadrak remain uncertain, as it is not widely attested in other historical or archaeological records. The passage in Zechariah is part of a prophetic oracle concerning the judgment of surrounding nations, indicating the significance of Chadrak in the geopolitical landscape of the time.
