Definitions for "Tekoa"
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 "wise woman," who pretended to be in great affliction, and skilfully 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).
Tekoa is an Israeli settlement in the northern Judean hills in the West Bank. The yishuv 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 ("Herod's mountain"). 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.
