2 Samuel 14:2
to Tekoah.Tekoah was a city of Judah, situated, according to Eusebius and Jerome, twelve miles south of Jerusalem. Josephus says it was not far from the castle of Herodium; and Jerome (Prologue to Amos) says it stood on a hill six miles south from Bethlehem. Dr. Poccocke places it at the same distance; and says there are still considerable ruins on the top of a hill, which is about half a mile long and a furlong broad. 2Ch 11:6; 20:20; Ne 3:5,27; Jer 6:1; Am 1:1Tekoa. mourning.11:26; Ru 3:3; Ps 104:15; Ec 9:8; Mt 6:171 Chronicles 4:5
