Chevron (Hebron) is one of the oldest and most significant cities in the biblical narrative, located in the hill country of Judah. Its name is related to chever (bond/association), suggesting a place of covenant and alliance.
Hebron is where Abraham settled after separating from Lot (Genesis 13:18), where the patriarchs and matriarchs were buried in the Cave of Machpelah (Genesis 23), where David was first anointed king over Judah (2 Samuel 2:4), and where the sons of Anak, the giants, dwelt (Numbers 13:22). It is a city of covenant faithfulness, burial, kingship, and spiritual warfare. The great oak trees of Mamre where Abraham received the divine visitors (Genesis 18) stand near Hebron. Few cities carry more theological weight in the Old Testament.
