Strong's Lexicon Seku: Secu Original Word: שֵׂכוּ Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Sekuw Pronunciation: say-koo Phonetic Spelling: (say'-koo) Definition: Secu Meaning: Seku Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be enclosed Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Seku" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term "Seku" refers to a specific location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a place near Ramah in the territory of Benjamin. The name itself suggests a place that is enclosed or fortified, which may indicate its strategic or defensive significance in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, locations like Secu were often small settlements or landmarks that held military or logistical importance. The region of Benjamin, where Secu is located, was a central area in the tribal allotments of Israel, often serving as a buffer zone between the northern and southern tribes. The mention of Secu in the biblical narrative underscores the complex geopolitical landscape of ancient Israel, where towns and cities were frequently sites of conflict or refuge.
