An important city in Syria, north of Damascus, where Babylonian kings brought captured leaders for trial and execution. The Old Testament mentions Hamath in border descriptions and military campaigns, and it served as a landmark for Israel's maximum northern reach. Prophets condemned the city for its pride and foretold its destruction.
