The Organization's guide to the [[Hamedan Province]] states that Habakkuk was believed to be a guardian to the Temple of Solomon, and that he was captured by the Babylonians and remained in their prison for some years. After being freed by Cyrus the Great, he went to [[Ecbatana]] and remained there until he died, and was buried somewhere nearby, in what is today Toyserkan.
