For example, in the entry for Nevuchadnetzar's 7th year, it says: It is evident in the Babylonian Chronicles that the authors of the chronicles referred to the Land of Israel as "The Land of Chet" (translated as "Hatti-land" here). A different translation can be found here (see entries from "Early Years of Nabopolassar chronicle" through "Early Years of Nebuchadnezzar chronicle"). Note: The Babylonian Chronicles entries brought in this answer were translated by me from the book "Historical Texts From Assyria and Babylonia: 9th-6th Centuries BCE" by Mordechai Cogan, which is a Hebrew translation of various Tanach-related Mesopotamian inscriptions and texts dated to said centuries.
