Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to be firm."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun רְצִין (Retsin) as it is a specific Hebrew name without a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the events involving Retsin are part of the broader historical and prophetic context that is referenced in various Greek texts. Usage: The name Retsin appears in the context of the historical narratives of the Old Testament, specifically in relation to the geopolitical events involving the kingdom of Aram and the kingdom of Judah. Context: Retsin was the king of Aram (Syria) during the 8th century BCE. He is most notably mentioned in the context of the Syro-Ephraimite War, where he allied with Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to wage war against Ahaz, king of Judah. This coalition aimed to force Judah into joining their resistance against the Assyrian empire. The biblical narrative in 2 Kings 16:5-9 and Isaiah 7:1-9 describes how Ahaz, in fear of this alliance, sought assistance from Tiglath-Pileser III, the king of Assyria. As a result, the Assyrian king attacked Damascus, captured it, and killed Retsin, thus ending his reign and the threat to Judah. The prophet Isaiah also references Retsin in his prophecies, using the political situation to convey messages of trust in God rather than in foreign alliances.
