Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of foreign originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name תֹּעוּ (Tou, Toi) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. Usage: The name Tou appears in the context of a historical account involving King David. It is used to identify a specific king who had interactions with David. Context: • Tou (Toi) is identified as the king of Hamath, a city-state located in the region of Aram (modern-day Syria). His reign is noted during the time of King David of Israel. The biblical narrative describes how Tou sent his son Joram to congratulate David on his victory over Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. This act of diplomacy was likely motivated by a shared interest in opposing Hadadezer, who was a common enemy. Tou's gesture included sending gifts of silver, gold, and bronze to David, which were subsequently dedicated to the Lord by David. This account is found in 2 Samuel 8:9-10 and 1 Chronicles 18:9-10. The interaction between Tou and David highlights the political alliances and dynamics of the ancient Near East during this period.
