Usage: Tseredah is mentioned in the context of being the birthplace or residence of Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel. It is referenced in the Old Testament. Context: Tseredah is identified as a town in the hill country of Ephraim, notable for its association with Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In 1 Kings 11:26, it is mentioned as the place from which Jeroboam hailed: "Now Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, was in the service of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king." The town's exact location is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally associated with the region of Ephraim, which was a central area in the northern kingdom of Israel. Tseredah's mention in the biblical narrative highlights its significance as the starting point of Jeroboam's rise to power, which eventually led to the division of the united monarchy of Israel.
