Taanach, an ancient Canaanite city in the Jezreel Valley near Megiddo, assigned to the tribe of Manasseh.
Taanach (modern Tell Ta'annek) was a fortified Canaanite city situated in the Great Plain about four and a half miles south-southeast of Megiddo. It appears in conquest lists, tribal allotments, and the Song of Deborah, where 'the kings came and fought at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo' (Judg 5:19). Assigned to Manasseh though located within Issachar's territory, it reflects the complex realities of Israel's incomplete settlement of Canaan.
Senses
1. Taanach (place name) — The proper noun designating the Canaanite city Taanach in the Jezreel Valley. All seven occurrences refer to the same location. Egyptian records spell it Ta-'a-na-k, confirming its antiquity. It appears in Joshua's conquest list (12:21), Manasseh's allotment (17:11; 21:25), the note that Canaanites were not driven out (Judg 1:27), and memorably in the victory hymn of Deborah (Judg 5:19). The consistent transliteration across English, Spanish, and French ('Taanach/Taanac') reflects the stability of this well-attested toponym. 7×
