Phar'par. (swift). The second of the "two rivers of Damascus" - Abana and Pharpar - alluded to by Naaman. 2 Kings 5:18. The two principal streams in the district of Damascus are the Barada and the Awaj, the former being the Abana, and the latter the Pharpur. The Awaj rises on the southeast slopes of Hermon, and flows into the most southerly of the three lakes or swamps of Damascus.
