Hastings

A fortress city on the edge of the wilderness to which it gave its name (2Ch 20:20). From here came the 'wise woman' sent by Joab to plead for Absalom (4/2/type/juliasmith'>2Sa 14:2,4,8); Rehoboam fortified it (2Ch 11:6), and apparently it continued to be a fortress (Jer 6:1); Amos 'was among the herdmen of Tekoa' (Am 1:1). Tekoa is mentioned also in Septuagint in Jos 15:59, and in the genealogies in 1Ch 4:5-8. The site is now Khurbet Teq
