bots.qat is a proper place-name used in a town list and as the hometown of Josiah's mother.

The supplied verses use the term as a proper place-name: it occurs among named towns in Joshua 15:39 and identifies the place from which Jedidah came in 2 Kings 22:1.

Senses in use

  1. A named place · dominant

    Both occurrences are marked as a proper noun. In Joshua 15:39 the APB renders it within the town list, “Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon”; in 2 Kings 22:1 it identifies Jedidah's place of origin in the clause rendered “from Bozkath.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Bozkath” in both verses: once in a list of towns and once after “from” in Jedidah's identification. The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses plainly present a place-name.
