Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the name שׁוּשַׁן (Shushan), a city in ancient Elam, which is modern-day Susa in Iran.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the term "Shushankite" in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific proper noun related to a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. However, references to Shushan in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use the Greek transliteration of the city's name. Usage: The term "Shushankite" is used to denote a person from Shushan, a significant city in the ancient Near East, known for its historical and biblical relevance. Context: The term שׁוּשַׁנְכִי (Shushankite) refers to an individual originating from the city of Shushan, which was a prominent city in the ancient kingdom of Elam. Shushan is notably mentioned in the Bible as the setting for the Book of Esther and as a place where Nehemiah served in the Persian court. The city was renowned for its grandeur and served as a winter capital for Persian kings. The Shushankites, therefore, would have been associated with the cultural and political life of this influential city. In biblical narratives, Shushan is depicted as a place of significant events, including the story of Queen Esther, who saved her people from destruction, and Nehemiah, who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. The term "Shushankite" itself is not frequently used in the biblical text, but it signifies the connection to this historically and biblically important location.
