Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Makkedah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Makkedah is mentioned in the context of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, particularly in the Book of Joshua. It is noted as one of the cities conquered by Joshua and the Israelites.

Context: Makkedah is a significant location in the biblical narrative of the conquest of Canaan. It is first mentioned in Joshua 10:10-11, where the Amorite kings fled to Makkedah after being defeated by Joshua at Gibeon. The city is notably the site where Joshua captured and executed the five Amorite kings who had hidden in a cave at Makkedah (Joshua 10:16-27). The narrative describes how Joshua commanded the cave to be sealed with large stones and guarded until the kings were brought out and executed. Following this event, Joshua and the Israelites captured and destroyed the city of Makkedah, leaving no survivors, as part of their campaign to take possession of the Promised Land (Joshua 10:28).

Makkedah is listed among the cities in the southern region of Canaan that were conquered by Joshua (Joshua 12:16). The exact location of Makkedah is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the Shephelah, the lowland region of ancient Judah.
