Tap'push. (the apple-city).

1. A city of Judah, of the Shefelah, or lowland. Joshua 15:34.

2. A place on the boundary, of the "children of Joseph." Joshua 16:8; Joshua 17:8. Its full name was probably En-tappuah. Joshua 17:7. ("Around the city, was a district called, the land of Tappuah; the city belonged to Ephraim, and the land to Manasseh. Joshua 17:8" - Schaff).

3. One of the sons of Hebron, of the tribe of Judah. 1 Chronicles 2:43. It is doubtless the same as Beth-tappuah. (B.C. before 1450).
