Maroth standard

Where is Maroth in the Bible?

Maroth was a town located in the territory of Judah during the biblical period. It is mentioned only once in Scripture, in the prophet Micah's oracle of judgment against Judah in Micah 1:12, where Maroth is listed among the cities that would experience distress and calamity. Though its exact modern location is uncertain, scholars believe it was situated in the Judean lowlands, likely in the southwestern region of Judah. The town's inclusion in Micah's prophecy reflects the broader theme of divine judgment against Judah's cities during a time of spiritual and social decline.
