Taanach

Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature

Ta´anach, a royal city of the Canaanites (), in the territory of Issachar, but assigned to Manasseh (;;;; ). Schubert, followed by Robinson, finds it in the modern Taannuk, now a mean hamlet on the south side of a small hill, with a summit of table-land. It lies on the south-western border of the plain of Esdraelon, four miles south of Megiddo, in connection with which it is mentioned in the triumphal song of Deborah and Barak ().
