Hena (place name; location unknown)
A city name in Assyrian boasts of conquest, listed alongside Sepharvaim and Ivvah (2 Kgs 18:34; 19:13; Isa 37:13). The Assyrian king taunts: 'Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?' The site is unknown, though scholars suggest a location in Syria or Mesopotamia. Translations preserve the name (Spanish Hena, Hená) without attempting to identify or translate it.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A toponym appearing in Assyrian conquest rhetoric (2 Kgs 18:34; 19:13; Isa 37:13). The multilingual glosses uniformly transliterate the name, reflecting its function as a fixed geographic referent in political propaganda. Its location remains unknown, but the rhetorical function is clear: invoking fallen cities to intimidate Jerusalem. 3×
