It is the name of one of the five Midianite kings defeated by the Israelites under Moses' leadership (Numbers 31:8). Additionally, it is a city in the territory of Benjamin (Joshua 18:27).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Midianites were a nomadic people descended from Abraham through Keturah, and they often interacted with the Israelites, sometimes as allies and other times as adversaries. The defeat of the Midianite kings, including Reqem, was a significant event in Israel's wilderness journey, symbolizing God's deliverance and judgment against those who opposed His people. The city of Reqem in Benjamin's territory reflects the settlement patterns of the Israelite tribes as they established themselves in the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7551.htm">raqam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"having many colors," a Midianite king, also two Isr., also a city in Benjamin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Rakem (1), Rekem (5).<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">רֶ֫קֶם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1. masculine a.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a king of Midian</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/31-8.htm">Numbers 31:8</a> (<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ροκομ</font>), <a href="/interlinear/joshua/13-21.htm">Joshua 13:21</a> (<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ροβοκ</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ροκομ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Οροκομ</font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>b.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a 'son' of Hebron</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-43.htm">1 Chronicles 2:43</a>,44, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ρεκομ</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ροκομ</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ρωκημ</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>c.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>name in Gilead</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-16.htm">1 Chronicles 7:16</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ρακαμ</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2. location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Benjamin</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/joshua/18-27.htm">Joshua 18:27</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Νακαν,</font> A <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ρεκεμ[ν]</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Rekem <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7551.htm">raqam</a>;
