Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith, H1004) meaning "house" and עֵקֶד (eqed, H6124) meaning "binding" or "shepherding."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Eked, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Beth-Eked is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a location known as "Beth-Eked of the Shepherds." Context: Beth-Eked, also known as "Beth-Eked of the Shepherds," is a location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is referenced in 2 Kings 10:12-14, where Jehu, the king of Israel, encounters the relatives of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at this site. The passage describes how Jehu, on his way to Samaria, stops at Beth-Eked and orders the execution of forty-two men who were relatives of Ahaziah. The name "Beth-Eked" suggests a place associated with shepherding or binding, possibly indicating a location where shepherds gathered or where livestock was managed. The exact geographical location of Beth-Eked is not definitively known, but it is understood to be situated in the northern kingdom of Israel, along the route from Jezreel to Samaria.
