Senses in use

  1. Place named in city and settlement contexts · dominant

    The proper noun occurs among named places in Joshua 15:35 and 2 Chronicles 11:9; in the latter, the APB renders a list of places that were built. In Nehemiah 11:30, it appears with “its villages” in a description of where people encamped, while Jeremiah 34:7 includes it among the remaining fortified cities of Judah.

  2. Place marking battle movement and encampment · common

    In Joshua 10:10, the proper noun marks the extent of pursuit and striking, and Joshua 10:11 places it at the reach of the hailstones during the flight. In 1 Samuel 17:1, the APB renders it as one endpoint of the area between which the Philistines camped.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term consistently as “Azekah,” whether it occurs in a city list, a battle route, an encampment description, or a statement about fortified cities. These renderings confirm the place-name use at the verse level rather than isolate every syntactic contribution.
