<div> '''1: χάραξ ''' (Strong'S #5482 — Noun Masculine — charax — khar'-ax ) </div> <p> primarily "a pointed stake," hence, "a palisade or rampart," is rendered "trench" in &nbsp;Luke 19:43 , AV (RV, "bank," marg., "palisade"). In A.D. 70, Titus, the Roman general, surrounded [[Jerusalem]] with a palisaded mound (Tyndale, l.c., renders it "mound"). The [[Jews]] in one of their sorties destroyed this charax, after which Titus surrounded the city with a wall of masonry. </p>

<p> A passage of approach to the walls of a besieged city, like a deep ditch; the earth thrown up constituting a wall. The Redeemer, weeping over Jerusalem a few days before he was crucified under its walls, said, "The days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side," &nbsp;Luke 19:43 . The Romans fulfilled this prediction by enclosing the entire city of Jerusalem by a wall, that the Jews might neither escape nor be relieved from without. In &nbsp;1 Samuel 26:5 , "trench" appears to mean the circle formed by camp equipage. See CAMP, ENCAMPMENTS. </p>

<p> (prop. תַּעָלָה, ''Tealah,'' &nbsp;1 Kings 18:32; &nbsp;1 Kings 18:35; &nbsp;1 Kings 18:38, a ''Channel,'' or "conduit," as elsewhere), a kind of ditch cut into the earth for the purpose of receiving and draining the water from adjacent parts. Something of this kind was the trench cut by the prophet Elijah to contain the water which he ordered to be poured on his sacrifice (&nbsp;1 Kings 18:32), and which, when filled to the brim. with water, was entirely exhausted, evaporated, by the fire of the Lord which consumed the sacrifice. (See [[Elijah]]). </p>
