The name is associated with bitterness, likely reflecting the experiences or characteristics of the location or its inhabitants.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Maroth is mentioned in the context of a prophecy by Micah, a prophet who ministered during the 8th century BCE. The region of Maroth, like many others in the prophetic literature, is depicted as experiencing distress and suffering due to the impending judgment and invasion by foreign powers, such as the Assyrians. The name itself, meaning "bitterness," may symbolize the anguish and hardship faced by the people during this tumultuous period in Israel's history.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/4843.htm">marar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place in Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Maroth (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מָרוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> in (Shephelah of) Judah <a href="/interlinear/micah/1-12.htm">Micah 1:12</a>;
