Place “on the left hand,” that is, to the north of Damascus, to which Abraham pursued the kings who had captured Lot (Gen. 14:15¹⁵And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. (Genesis 14:15)). The Muslims point out Burzeh, 33° 32' N, 36° 8' E, as the ancient Hobah; but the Jews prefer Jobar, about two miles N.E. of Damascus.
