Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name of a man from Tekoa whose son Ira was numbered among David's mighty men. First mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:26 as 'Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,' he reappears in parallel Chronicles accounts (1 Chronicles 11:28 and 27:9). The name itself may derive from a root meaning 'twisted' or 'perverse,' though as a personal name it simply serves as an identifier. Translations preserve the Hebrew name with slight variations: English 'Ikkesh,' Spanish 'Iques/Iqesh,' French 'Ikkesh.' 3×
