<p> (Gr. Abronas, Ἀβρωνᾶς v. r. Ἀβρωναϊ v , see Fritzsche, Comment. in loc.), a stream, as it would seem, in Mesopotamia, having several considerable cities on its banks which were destroyed by [[Holofernes]] ( [[Judith]] 2:24). Some regard it as being the same with the [[Habor]] (q.v.) or Chaboras of [[Scripture]] ( 2 Kings 17:16). But it is probably a false rendering of a bungling translator for the original Hebrews בְּעֵבֶר הִנָּהָר, beyond the river, i, e. [[Euphrates]] (see Movers, in the [[Bonner]] Zeitschr. 13:38). </p> | |||
