to Tekoah: Tekoah was a city of Judah, situated, according to Eusebius and Jerome, twelve miles south of Jerusalem. Josephus says it was not far from the castle of Herodium; and Jerome - Prologue to Amos says it stood on a hill six miles south from Bethlehem. Dr. Poccocke places it at the same distance; and says there are still considerable ruins on the top of a hill, which is about half a mile long and a furlong broad. 2Ch 11:6, 2Ch 20:20, Neh 3:5, Neh 3:27, Jer 6:1, Amo 1:1, Tekoa
