HADASHAH

(Heb. ḥăḏāšâ)

A town in the Shephelah, or lowland, of Judah, part of that tribe’s inheritance (Josh. 15:39). Athough its location is unknown, it is part of the same district as Lachish and Eglon (Josh. 15:37-41). It may be the same place as Adasa, where Judas Maccabeus defeated Nicanor (1 Macc. 7:40-45).

A town named Hadashah (“new town”) is also recorded in one of Shishak’s inscriptions at Karnak. The location of this site is not positively identified, but on the basis of the Egyptian list, it may be within the Succoth Valley at the confluence of the Jabbok (Wadi Zerqā) and Jordan Rivers. It is unrelated to the biblical site.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
