Usage: Tekoa is a town in ancient Judah, mentioned in the Bible primarily as the home of the prophet Amos. It is also noted for its strategic location and its association with wise counsel and military alerts. Cultural and Historical Background: Tekoa was situated approximately 10 miles south of Jerusalem. It was a small town but held significance due to its elevated position, which made it a suitable location for watchmen to sound alarms. The town is historically linked to the prophet Amos, who was a shepherd and fig tree farmer from Tekoa (Amos 1:1). Tekoa's strategic importance is also highlighted in the context of King Jehoshaphat's reign, where it served as a gathering point for military forces (2 Chronicles 20:20).
