Maacah
The name Maacah is applied to both men and women. The Maacahs of the Bible are: a son of Nahor with Reumah; Deut 3:14 makes mention of Maachathites, which are probably the same as the inhabitants of Aram-maacah and their king of Maacah, mentioned in 1 Chr 19:6-7. a wife of David and mother of Absolom (2 Sam 3:3); a king of Gath (1 Ki 2:39); the mother of king Jeroboam (1 Ki 15:10) a concubine of Caleb (1 Chr 2:48); a woman of Manasseh (1 Chr 7:15); Great-grandmother of king Saul (1 Chr 9:35); the father (probably not the mother) of one of David's mighty men (1 Chr 11:43); the father (probably not the mother) of the leader of the Simeonites during the days of David (1 Chr 27:16); |
(ma`ak 1229) meaning press, squeeze. This verb occurs a mere three times in the Bible. Once to denote a method of castration (Lev 22:24), once to describe how a spear is pushed into the ground (1 Sam 26:7), and once to indicate how nipples are fondled (Ezk 23:3).
