Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Dimonah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location unique to the Old Testament context.

Usage: Dimonah is mentioned in the context of the territorial allotments of the tribe of Judah. It appears in the list of towns within the Negev region.

Context: Dimonah is a town located in the southern region of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. It is mentioned in the Bible in the context of the tribal allotments given to the descendants of Judah. Specifically, Dimonah is listed among the towns in the Negev, a desert region in the southern part of Judah's territory. The reference to Dimonah can be found in the book of Joshua:

• Joshua 15:22 (BSB): "Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah."

This verse is part of a larger passage detailing the boundaries and cities allotted to the tribe of Judah. Dimonah's exact location is not definitively known today, but it is understood to have been part of the arid southern landscape, contributing to the defense and settlement of the Negev region. The name Dimonah may carry connotations of desolation, which aligns with the harsh, desert environment of the area.
