Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Maqqedah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: Maqqedah is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically a city in the territory of Judah. It is most notably mentioned in the context of Joshua's conquest of Canaan. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning beyond its identification as a location.

Cultural and Historical Background: Maqqedah was one of the cities in the southern region of ancient Canaan. During the time of Joshua, it was a significant site due to its strategic location. The city is best known for the event where the five Amorite kings hid in a cave at Maqqedah after being defeated by Joshua and the Israelites. This event is part of the larger narrative of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, which is a central theme in the book of Joshua. The historical context reflects the period of transition from nomadic life to settlement in the Promised Land, a key phase in Israelite history.
