<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Tekoa''' (or '''Tekoah'''; - pitching of tents, fastening down) was a Biblical town of Judah, about 12 miles south of [[Jerusalem]], and visible from the city. From this place [[Joab]] procured a &quot;wise woman,&quot; who pretended to be in great affliction, and skillfully made her case known to [[David]]. Her address to the king was in the form of an apologue, similar to that of [[Nathan]] (2 Sam. 12:1-6). The object of Joab was, by the intervention of this woman, to induce David to bring back [[Absalom]] to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 14:2, 4, 9).<br /> <br /> This was also the birth-place of the prophet [[Amos]] as seen in Amos 1:1.<br /> <br /> ==Modern City==<br /> '''Tekoa''' is an Israeli settlement in the northern [[Judea]]n hills in the [[West Bank]]. The settlement was founded in 1977 on the top of a hill among ruins of the site of biblical Tekoa, 5 miles south of [[Bethlehem]], and close to [[Herodion]] (&quot;Herod's mountain&quot;). The town has developed a mixed population consisting of both religious and secular residents, as well as many new immigrants from the Commonwealth of Independent States (formerly the USSR). Tekoa is within the municipal jurisdiction of the Gush Etzion Regional Council.<br /> <br /> The Tekoa Agro-Technology Farm that was established in 1986, and in 1989 was named Enterprise of the Year by the Israeli Journal of Agricultural Settlements.<br /> <br /> Tekoa is home to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesder hesder] settlement. [[Rabbi]] Menachem Froman is the town's rabbi.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{eastons}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://tekoa.org.il/ Town website]<br /> * [http://www.tekoafarms.co.il/index1.htm Tekoa Agro-Technology Ltd.]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekoa_%28town%29 Modern Tekoa Wikipedia entry]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekoa_%28Biblical%29 Biblical Tekoa Wikipedia entry]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Old Testament Geography]]</div>
