Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word רֹאשׁ (rosh), meaning "head" or "chief."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Mareshah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Mareshah is used as a proper noun referring to a city in ancient Judah. Context: Mareshah was a significant city located in the lowlands of Judah, mentioned in the Old Testament. It is first noted in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:42). The city is also associated with the exploits of King Rehoboam, who fortified it as part of his defensive strategy against potential invasions (2 Chronicles 11:8). Mareshah gained further historical prominence during the reign of King Asa of Judah. It was near this city that Asa achieved a decisive victory over the Cushite army led by Zerah (2 Chronicles 14:9-12). The city is also mentioned in the prophetic literature, specifically in the book of Micah, where it is included in a list of cities that would face judgment (Micah 1:15). Archaeological evidence suggests that Mareshah was an important urban center during the Hellenistic period, and its ruins are located near the modern-day site of Tel Maresha in Israel.
