Strong's Lexicon Mareshah: Mareshah Original Word: מַרְאֵשָׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root word יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to possess" or "to inherit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mareshah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. Usage: Mareshah is a name used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a city in the lowlands of Judah. It is often associated with inheritance and possession, reflecting its etymological roots. Cultural and Historical Background: Mareshah was an ancient city located in the Shephelah region of Judah. It played a significant role during the time of the Judean monarchy and was known for its strategic location. The city was fortified by Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, as part of his efforts to strengthen the defenses of Judah (2 Chronicles 11:8). Mareshah was also a site of conflict during the reign of King Asa, who defeated the Cushite army led by Zerah at this location (2 Chronicles 14:9-12). The city later became part of the Idumean territory during the Hellenistic period. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition a place in Judah, also two Isr.
