Azeka
Opis
Azeka
V Bibliji je omenjeno kot eno od krajev, kjer so Amorejski kralji bili poraženi od Jozueta, in eno od krajev, kjer je njihova vojska bila uničena v toči ([Joz 10:10 –11]). Dodeljeno je bilo Judovemu rodu ([Joz 15:20 ]).[4] V času Savla so Filistejci zbrali svoje sile med Sokho in Azeka, postavili pa so Goljata kot svojega prvaka ([1Sam 17]).[4] Rehabeam je utrdil mesto v svojem vladanju, skupaj z Lahišem in drugimi strateškimi mesti ([2Krn 11:5 –10]).
