Strong's Lexicon zocheleth: Serpent's Stone Original Word: זֹחֶלֶת Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Zocheleth Pronunciation: zoh-KHEH-leth Phonetic Spelling: (zo-kheh'-leth) Definition: Zocheleth Meaning: Zocheleth is a proper noun referring to a specific location, "the serpent's stone" or "crawling place." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָחַל (zachal), meaning "to crawl" or "to flow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Zocheleth, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Zocheleth is used as a geographical name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of a significant event during the reign of King David. Context: Zocheleth is mentioned in 1 Kings 1:9, where it is described as a stone near En-rogel. It is the location where Adonijah, the son of King David, held a feast to declare himself king. This event occurred during the time when King David was old and bedridden, and it was part of Adonijah's attempt to usurp the throne from Solomon, David's chosen successor. The stone of Zocheleth, therefore, holds historical significance as a site of political intrigue and ambition. The name "Zocheleth" itself suggests imagery of something that crawls or flows, possibly alluding to the stone's shape or the nature of the surrounding terrain.
