Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָלַק (chalak), meaning "to divide" or "to apportion."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chelkath, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location in the Old Testament. The concept of a "portion" or "division" might be related to Greek terms that convey similar meanings, but Chelkath itself does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance. Usage: The term Chelkath is used in the Old Testament as a proper noun to denote a specific place. It appears in the context of a geographical location associated with a significant biblical event. Context: Chelkath is mentioned in the Old Testament in the context of the narrative involving Abner and Joab. It is specifically referred to as "Chelkath Hazzurim," which translates to "the field of the sharp blades" or "the field of the smooth stones." This location is noted in 2 Samuel 2:16, where it serves as the site of a fierce battle between the forces of Abner, representing the house of Saul, and the forces of Joab, representing the house of David. The passage describes a deadly contest between twelve men from each side, which resulted in all of them falling together, thus giving the place its name. The event at Chelkath Hazzurim is significant as it highlights the intense conflict and division within the kingdom of Israel during the early reign of King David.
