Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Telassar, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. The Greek Septuagint may transliterate the name, but it does not have a distinct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance system.

Usage: Telassar is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a place. It appears in the context of the Assyrian conquests and is mentioned in relation to the cities conquered by the Assyrian king.

Context: Telassar is mentioned in the Bible in 2 Kings 19:12 and Isaiah 37:12. In these passages, it is listed among the cities that were destroyed by the Assyrian kings. The context is a message from the Assyrian king Sennacherib to King Hezekiah of Judah, boasting of the Assyrian conquests and questioning the power of the God of Israel to deliver Jerusalem from the same fate. The mention of Telassar serves to emphasize the extent of Assyrian dominance and the futility of resistance against their might. The exact location of Telassar is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been situated in Mesopotamia, possibly within the region of Babylonia or Assyria. The historical and archaeological identification of Telassar remains uncertain, but it is considered to be one of the many cities that fell under Assyrian control during their expansive campaigns.
