Tiphsah; a city on the Euphrates marking the northeastern boundary of Solomon's realm
This place name appears in two contexts: as the northeastern limit of Solomon's extensive dominion (1 Kings 4:24), and as the site of a brutal military action by Menahem (2 Kings 15:16). Scholars identify it with Thapsacus, a major ford on the Euphrates at the great easterly bend of the river. The name likely derives from a root meaning 'ford' or 'crossing.' The Greek rendering Thapsakos confirms the identification with the strategic crossing point mentioned in classical sources like Xenophon's Anabasis.

1. sense 1 — As a geographical marker, Tiphsah represents the far reach of Israelite influence during Solomon's golden age—'from Tiphsah to Gaza' encompasses the breadth of his peaceful reign. In 2 Kings 15:16, the same location becomes the scene of Menahem's violence, showing how glory can decay into brutality. The unanimous transliteration across Spanish (Tifsa/Tifsaj), French (Tiphsach), and German confirms this as a stable proper name with clear historical referent—Kal'at Dibse at approximately 35°55' N, 38°20' E. 2×
