    Description

    Maroth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Maroth is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Micah 1:12, as part of a series of judgments against the towns of Judah. The prophet Micah declares, "For the inhabitant of Maroth waited anxiously for good, but disaster came down from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem." The name Maroth means "bitterness" or "sorrow," possibly reflecting the town's fate. No further details about the location are provided in the Bible.

    Maroth is named in 1 verse — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
