Azekah

Meaning: dug over

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

See the Christian archaeological video which describes this ancient city: On the Promised Land: Crossroads of the World (part of the Faith Lessons video series). "Like David, who used the Philistines' weapon-making techniques for Israel's advantage, we must employ cutting-edge technology to positively shape our culure."
