Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root of uncertain meaning.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Lakish, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, references to the city in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name. Usage: The term לָכִישׁ (Lakish) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a significant city located in the Shephelah region of Judah. It is mentioned in various contexts, including military campaigns and prophetic literature. Context: Lakish was a prominent fortified city in the ancient kingdom of Judah, strategically located in the Shephelah, the lowland region between the Judean mountains and the coastal plain. It played a crucial role in the defense of Judah against invasions from the west. The city is first mentioned in the context of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, where it was captured by Joshua (Joshua 10:31-32). Lakish later became a significant administrative center during the reign of the kings of Judah.
