Tekoa, Tekoah: Pitching of tents; fastening down, a town of Judah, about 12 miles
south of Jerusalem, and visible from the city. From this place Joab
procured a "wise woman," who pretended to be in great affliction, and
skilfully made her case known to David. Her address to the king was in
the form of an apologue, similar to that of Nathan
(2 Samuel 12:1-6) The
object of Joab was, by the intervention of this woman, to induce David
to bring back Absalom to Jerusalem
(2 Samuel 14:2,4,9) This was also the
birth-place of the prophet Amoa
(Amos 1:1) It is now the village of
Teku'a, on the top of a hill among ruins, 5 miles south of Bethlehem,
and close to Beth-haccerem ("Herod's mountain").
