Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Kithlish, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location within the Old Testament context.

Usage: The term "Kithlish" is used in the context of a geographical location within the biblical narrative, specifically in the allotment of land to the tribe of Judah.

Context: Kithlish is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the towns in the Shephelah, or lowland region, of the tribe of Judah. It appears in the list of cities in Joshua 15:40: "Kithlish, Eglon, and Cabbon, Lahmas, and Chitlish." The exact location of Kithlish is not definitively known today, and it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in biblical texts. The town's inclusion in the list of cities allotted to Judah suggests it was part of the tribal inheritance during the conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership. The name Kithlish, derived from a root meaning to bind or manacle, may imply a historical or cultural significance related to its function or characteristics during the biblical period.
