Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָשַׁב (chashab), meaning "to think, account, or calculate."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Cheshbon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of cities and strongholds can be related to various Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament for cities and fortresses. Usage: Cheshbon is used in the Hebrew Bible as the name of a significant city located east of the Jordan River. It was originally an Amorite city before being conquered by the Israelites. It is mentioned in various contexts, including territorial boundaries and historical narratives. Context: Cheshbon was a prominent city in the ancient Near East, situated in the territory that later became part of the tribe of Reuben. It was initially the capital of King Sihon of the Amorites. The city is first mentioned in the context of Israel's conquest of the Transjordan region. In Numbers 21:25-26 (BSB), it is recorded that "Israel took all the cities and settled in all the Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all its villages. For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon." After its conquest, Cheshbon became a Levitical city within the territory of Reuben (Joshua 21:39). The city is also noted in the poetic taunt against Moab in Isaiah 15:4 and Jeremiah 48:2, where its strategic importance and past glory are highlighted. Cheshbon's location made it a key site for trade and military strategy, and its history reflects the broader geopolitical dynamics of the region.
