JOKTHEEL

(Heb. yoqṯĕʾêl)

1. A town in the Shephelah, or lowland, of Judah (Josh. 15:38). It may be linked wih Jekuthiel, depicted as one of the descendants of Caleb, the “father of Zanoah” and the uncle of Socoh (1 Chr. 4:18). Both Zanoah and Socoh are sites in the Shephelah, and Joktheel may be located nearby.

2. The capital of Edomite territory. Amaziah king of Judah renamed the Edomite site of Sela (modern Petra) Joktheel after conquering it (2 Kgs. 14:7).

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.
