2 Kings 5:12

Abana and Pharpar. In the sight of man these rivers undoubtedly were better than all the waters of Israel. The rivers of Damascus were pleasant, and made the area blossom as a rose. Compared with these life-giving rivers of his own country, the Jordan was to Naaman a small and disappointing stream. Yet if he wanted to be healed of his leprosy, it was in the Jordan and not in the Abana that he was to bathe. Abana is thought to be identical with Amana of Song of Solomon 4:8, the stream being named after the mountain that was its source. It was the important river of Damascus. The Pharpar is thought to have been a stream south of Damascus, which had its rise in the heights of Mt. Hermon.
