Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the name of the city אַשְׁקְלוֹן (Ashkelon), a prominent Philistine city.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for "Ashkelonite" as it is a specific term related to a Hebrew proper noun. However, references to Philistine cities and peoples in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use transliterations or equivalent terms to describe inhabitants of Ashkelon.

Usage: The term "Ashkelonite" is used to refer to individuals originating from or residing in the city of Ashkelon. It is a proper noun used to identify people associated with this ancient Philistine city.

Context: The term "Ashkelonite" is used in the context of identifying individuals from Ashkelon, one of the five major Philistine cities located on the coastal plain of what is now modern-day Israel. Ashkelon was known for its strategic location and its role as a significant trade and cultural center in the ancient Near East. The city is frequently mentioned in the context of the Philistines, who were often in conflict with the Israelites during the period of the Judges and the early monarchy in Israel.

In the Bible, Ashkelon is noted for its strength and fortifications, as well as its association with the Philistine pantheon and culture. The term "Ashkelonite" would thus denote a person who is culturally and politically aligned with the Philistine city-state of Ashkelon. The city itself is mentioned in several biblical passages, highlighting its importance and the interactions between the Philistines and the Israelites.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not specifically use the term "Ashkelonite," but the city of Ashkelon is referenced in various contexts, such as in the narratives of Samson and the Philistines, and in the prophetic literature where judgments against Philistine cities are pronounced.
