Context: Tsephath is a city mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Judges. It is noted for its destruction by the Israelites under the leadership of the tribe of Judah. The city is referenced in Judges 1:17, where it is stated: "Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and completely destroyed the city. So it was called Hormah." The name "Hormah" means "destruction" or "devotion to destruction," indicating the complete annihilation of the city as an act of divine judgment.
