ZEREDAH

(Heb. ṣĕrēḏâ)

1. Probably the birthplace and certainly the place of residence of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who revolted against Solomon (1 Kgs. 11:26) and ultimately established his capital in Shechem (12:25). Jeroboam’s identification as an Ephraimite indicates that Zeredah was located in the hill country of Ephraim. It may be Deir Ghassâneh (159161; ca. 24 km. [15 mi.] SW of Shechem) or the nearby ʿAin Òeridah. Zeredah is probably an alternate form for Zererah (Judg. 7:22).

2. A place in the Jordan Valley (2 Chr. 4:17). The name is a variant spelling of Zarethan (1 Kgs. 7:46).

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.
