Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term תְּקוֹעִי (Tekoite), as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical and ethnic identity within the context of the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term "Tekoite" is used to refer to individuals from the town of Tekoa. It appears in the context of identifying people by their place of origin, particularly in genealogical and narrative passages.

Context: The term תְּקוֹעִי (Tekoite) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals from the town of Tekoa, which was located in the hill country of Judah. Tekoa is mentioned in several biblical passages, and its inhabitants, the Tekoites, are noted for their involvement in various significant events.

In 2 Samuel 14:2, a wise woman from Tekoa is enlisted by Joab to persuade King David to reconcile with his son Absalom. This narrative highlights the reputation of Tekoites for wisdom and diplomacy.

The Tekoites are also mentioned in the context of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls under Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 3:5, the Tekoites are noted for their participation in the reconstruction efforts, although it is also mentioned that their nobles did not support the work of their supervisors. This passage underscores the communal involvement of the Tekoites in important civic projects, despite some internal dissent.

The town of Tekoa itself is historically significant, being associated with the prophet Amos, who is described as a shepherd from Tekoa (Amos 1:1). This connection further emphasizes the town's role as a center of prophetic activity and its contribution to Israel's religious and social history.
