Zanoah; a place name for two Judahite towns, one in the Shephelah, one in the hill country
A proper noun identifying two towns in the tribal allotment of Judah. The first Zanoah lies in the Shephelah lowlands southeast of Zorah (Josh 15:34), and its inhabitants helped rebuild the Valley Gate of Jerusalem under Nehemiah (Neh 3:13; 11:30). The second Zanoah sits in the hill country of Judah (Josh 15:56), possibly modern Zanuta southwest of Hebron. In 1 Chronicles 4:18 the name appears in a genealogical context as a settlement founded by a descendant of Judah.
