It appears in the context of geographical and tribal allotments. Context: Akzib is a town mentioned in the Old Testament, located in the territory of the tribe of Judah. It is referenced in the context of the tribal allotments given to the descendants of Judah. The town is noted for its deceptive nature, as its name suggests. In the Book of Joshua, Akzib is listed among the cities in the lowland region of Judah: "Akzib, Mareshah, and Hebron—nine cities, along with their villages" (Joshua 15:44, BSB). Additionally, Akzib is mentioned in the Book of Micah, where it is described as a place that will bring disappointment to the kings of Israel: "Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath; the houses of Akzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel" (Micah 1:14, BSB). This reflects the town's reputation for being unreliable or failing to meet expectations.
