Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Hamath-Zobah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical name. However, related Greek terms might include those for cities or regions, such as πόλις (polis, G4172) for "city." Usage: Hamath-Zobah refers to a specific geographical location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is a compound name that likely indicates a region or city associated with both Hamath and Zobah, two significant areas in ancient Syria. The name suggests a place of strategic importance, possibly a fortified city or region. Cultural and Historical Background: Hamath was a major city-state in ancient Syria, known for its strategic location along trade routes and its interactions with Israel and other neighboring nations. Zobah was a kingdom in the same region, often mentioned in the context of military campaigns and political alliances. The combination of these two names in Hamath-Zobah suggests a place of considerable influence and power during the biblical period, possibly serving as a center for trade, military, and political activities.
