Tekoite, a gentilic adjective denoting a person from the town of Tekoa in Judah.
This gentilic adjective identifies individuals hailing from Tekoa. It appears in both masculine and feminine forms: 'the Tekoite' designates Ira son of Ikkesh among David's mighty warriors (2 Sam 23:26; 1 Chr 11:28; 27:9), while 'the Tekoite woman' identifies the wise woman Joab recruited (2 Sam 14:4, 9). In Nehemiah 3:5 and 27, 'the Tekoites' are a group who helped rebuild Jerusalem's walls, though their nobles refused to serve.
