mas´rḗ-ka, mas-rē´ka (משׂרקה, masrēḳāh; Μασέκκα, Masékka):

A place mentioned in the list of ancient rulers of Edom (Gen_36:31), “before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.” Masrekah was the royal city of Samlah, son of Hadad (Gen_36:36; 1Ch_1:47). The name may mean “place of choice vines,” but there is nothing to show in what locality it must be sought.
