Maacah:
(oppression).
(1.) The mother of Absalom; also called MAACHAH. SEE [MAACHAH, 5.]. (2 Samuel 3:3).
(2.) Maacah, or in 1 Chronicles 19:6-7, Maachah, a small kingdom in close proximity to Palestine which appears to have lain outside Argob (Deuteronomy 3:14) and Bashun (Joshua 12:5). The Ammonite war was the only occasion on which the Maacathites came into contact with Israel when their king assisted the Ammonites against Joab with a force which he led himself (2 Samuel 10:6; 10:8; 1 Chronicles 19:7).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
