Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chamath-Tsobah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location not directly translated into Greek in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. However, related geographical terms may appear in Greek texts when discussing similar regions or historical contexts. Usage: Chamath-Tsobah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific geographical location. It is mentioned in the context of territorial descriptions and conquests. Context: Chamath-Tsobah is a compound name that combines two significant locations in ancient Near Eastern geography: Hamath and Zobah. Hamath was a prominent city-state located in the Orontes River valley, known for its strategic importance and interactions with Israel and other neighboring nations. Zobah, on the other hand, was a kingdom situated to the northeast of Israel, often mentioned in the context of King David's military campaigns. In the biblical narrative, Chamath-Tsobah is referenced in 2 Chronicles 8:3, where it is described as part of King Solomon's territorial expansions. The passage highlights Solomon's military prowess and the extent of his kingdom's influence. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates this verse as follows: "Then Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and captured it." The mention of Chamath-Tsobah underscores the historical and geopolitical significance of these regions during the united monarchy of Israel. It reflects the broader biblical theme of Israel's interactions with surrounding nations and the fulfillment of divine promises regarding the land.
