However, the concept of conquest and victory can be related to Greek terms like νίκη (nikē, G3529), meaning victory.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Bezek is a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It is primarily known as the location where the Israelites, under the leadership of Judah and Simeon, defeated the Canaanites and Perizzites. The name Bezek may imply a place associated with lightning or flashing, possibly indicating a geographical feature or a historical event that gave rise to the name.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bezek is mentioned in the context of the early conquests of the Israelites in the Promised Land. It was a Canaanite city where Adoni-Bezek, a local king, was defeated and captured. The historical context reflects the period of the Judges, a time characterized by the Israelites' efforts to establish themselves in Canaan amidst various indigenous peoples. The capture of Bezek and the defeat of Adoni-Bezek symbolize the initial successes of the Israelite tribes in claiming their inheritance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/965.htm">bazaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place in Pal.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bezek (3).<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">בֶּ֫זֶקִ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/11-8.htm">1 Samuel 11:8</a> (<font class="hebrew2">בְּבָ֑זֶק</font>) rendezvous of Israel under Saul and Samuel; <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-4.htm">Judges 1:4</a>,5 home of Adoni-bezek; on location compare Euseb.
