Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Charosheth, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of a fortified or strategic location can be related to various Greek terms for cities or strongholds.

Usage: The term is used in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Judges.

Context: Charosheth of the Gentiles is mentioned in the Book of Judges as the home of Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army under King Jabin. It is located in the region of Naphtali, near the Kishon River. The site is significant in the narrative of Judges 4, where Deborah and Barak lead the Israelites to victory over Sisera's forces. The location is described as a place where iron chariots were manufactured or stationed, indicating its strategic military importance. The name "Charosheth" itself suggests a place associated with craftsmanship or metalwork, possibly due to its proximity to resources or skilled labor. The exact location of Charosheth of the Gentiles is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally identified with the area near modern-day Harosheth Haggoyim.
