"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." Isaiah 17:2 (KJV)
In the Bible, a whole lot happens in and around the nation of Syria, both historically and prophetically. In the King James, Syria is mentioned 75 times in 71 verses and it's capital city of Damascus is mentioned 60 times in 5 verses.
