Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from מַעֲכָה (Maakah), which is a proper noun referring to a region or people.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term מַעֲכָתִי (Maakathite), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a people group or region in the Old Testament context.

Usage: The term "Maakathite" is used to describe individuals or groups associated with the region of Maakah. It appears in contexts related to geographical and tribal affiliations.

Context: The Maakathites were a people group associated with the region of Maakah, which is mentioned in the Old Testament as being located near the northeastern border of Bashan, close to the territory of Geshur. The region of Maakah is referenced in several biblical passages, often in the context of territorial descriptions or genealogical records.

In the Bible, the Maakathites are mentioned in the context of the land allocations during the conquest of Canaan. For instance, in Joshua 13:13, the text notes that the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maakathites, and they continued to dwell among the Israelites. This indicates that the Maakathites maintained a distinct identity and presence within the region.

The Maakathites are also mentioned in 2 Samuel 10:6, where they are listed among the allies of the Ammonites in their conflict against King David. This suggests that the Maakathites were involved in regional political and military alliances during the time of the united monarchy in Israel.

The term "Maakathite" thus serves as an identifier of a specific ethnic or regional group within the broader narrative of Israel's history, highlighting the complex interactions between the Israelites and their neighboring peoples.
