Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun Tseruah, as it is a specific personal name found in the Old Testament without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: Tseruah is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to the mother of Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy.

Context: Tseruah is mentioned in the context of the lineage of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In 1 Kings 11:26, Tseruah is identified as the mother of Jeroboam, who was an Ephraimite from Zeredah. Jeroboam was a servant of King Solomon who rebelled against the king and eventually became the ruler of the northern tribes of Israel. The name Tseruah, meaning "leprous," may suggest a condition or characteristic associated with her, although the biblical text does not provide further details about her life or condition. The mention of Tseruah highlights the familial background of Jeroboam, a significant figure in the history of Israel, known for leading the secession of the ten tribes and establishing a separate kingdom.
