Where is Bozkath in the Bible?

Bozkath was a town located in the territory of Judah during Old Testament times. It is mentioned in the Bible as the birthplace of Jedidah, the mother of King Josiah, one of Judah's most significant reformist kings. The town appears in the genealogical records of 2 Kings 22:1, where it identifies Jedidah as coming from Bozkath. While Bozkath held importance as the hometown of the mother of a major biblical king, the exact location of the ancient site has not been definitively identified by modern scholars, and no other major biblical events are recorded as taking place there.
