Strong's Lexicon Tsredah: Zeredah Original Word: צְרֵדָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be cool or fresh Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Tsredah, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Tsredah, or Zeredah, is a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It is primarily known as the hometown of Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. The name itself may imply a place of coolness or freshness, possibly indicating a location with a pleasant climate or abundant water sources. Cultural and Historical Background: Zeredah is mentioned in the context of the divided kingdom of Israel. After the reign of Solomon, the kingdom split into the northern kingdom (Israel) and the southern kingdom (Judah). Jeroboam, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, was a key figure in this division. The historical and cultural significance of Zeredah lies in its association with Jeroboam, who led the northern tribes in rebellion against Rehoboam, Solomon's son, and established a separate kingdom.
