Strong's Lexicon Beth Hammarkaboth or Beth Markaboth: House of Chariots Original Word: בֵּית המּרְכָּבוֹת Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth), meaning "house" or "place," and מַרְכָּבוֹת (markaboth), meaning "chariots." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Hammarkaboth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related Greek terms might include those associated with military or chariots, such as ἅρμα (harma, G716), meaning "chariot." Usage: Beth Hammarkaboth, or Beth Markaboth, is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a location associated with chariots, likely indicating a site where chariots were stationed or manufactured. The name suggests a place of military significance, possibly a depot or a strategic location for the storage and maintenance of chariots. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, chariots were an important part of military strategy and power. They were used in warfare and were a symbol of strength and technological advancement. The presence of a place named "House of Chariots" indicates the strategic importance of chariots in the region and suggests a centralized location for their deployment or upkeep. This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern context where chariots played a crucial role in military campaigns.
