Usage: Chamath-Rabbah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to denote a prominent city, often associated with the northern boundary of the land promised to Israel.

Context: Chamath-Rabbah, also known simply as Hamath, was a major city located in the region of modern-day Syria. It is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as a boundary marker for the northern extent of the land of Israel. The city was strategically important due to its location on the Orontes River, serving as a key trade and military route. In biblical history, Hamath is noted for its interactions with Israel, including during the reigns of King Solomon and King David. Solomon is recorded to have extended his influence to Hamath (2 Chronicles 8:4), and the city is mentioned in the context of the conquests of the Assyrian Empire (2 Kings 18:34). The Berean Standard Bible references Hamath in passages such as 2 Kings 14:25, where it is described as part of the northern boundary restored by King Jeroboam II of Israel: "He restored the border of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which He had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher."
