Azekah

Easton, 1897

Dug over, a town in the Shephelah or low hills of Judah (Joshua 15:35), where the five confederated Amoritish kings were defeated by Joshua and their army destroyed by a hailstrom (Joshua 10:10, Joshua 10:11). It was one of the places re-occupied by the Jews on their return from the Captivity (Nehemiah 11:30).
