<p> ''''' tap´ū́ ''''' - ''''' a ''''' , ''''' ta ''''' - ''''' pū´a ''''' ( טפח , <i> ''''' tappūaḥ ''''' </i> , "apple"): </p> <p> (1) A royal city of the Canaanites, the king of which was slain by Joshua (&nbsp;Joshua 12:17 ). It is named between Beth- <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> and Hepher, and may possibly be identical with the city named in &nbsp;Joshua 16:8; see (3) below. There is nothing to guide us to a decision. </p> <p> (2) (Omitted by Septuagint.) A city in the [[Shephelah]] of Judah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:34 ). It is named between [[Engannim]] and [[Enam]] in a group of cities that lay in the Northwest of the territory of Judah. Tristram suggested identification with <i> ''''' ‛Artūf ''''' </i> , about 1 1/2 miles Southeast of Zorah. G.A. Smith places it in <i> ''''' Wâdy ''''' </i> <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> <i> ''''' ‛Afranj ''''' </i> , possibly identifying it with <i> ''''' Tuffūḥ ''''' </i> , fully 4 miles West of Hebron. This position, however, is not in the Shephelah. The place probably represents "Beth-tappuah" of &nbsp;Joshua 15:53 . No quite satisfactory identification has yet been suggested. </p> <p> (3) A place on the border between Ephraim and Manasseh (&nbsp;Joshua 16:8 ). "The land of Tappuah," i.e. the land adjoining the town, belonged to Manasseh, but the town itself belonged to Ephraim (&nbsp;Joshua 17:8 ). En-tappuah was probably a neighboring spring. Tappuah was to the South of Michmethath, and the border ran from here westward to the brook Kanah. Some would place it at <i> ''''' Khirbet ''''' </i> <i> ''''' ‛Atuf ''''' </i> , about 11 miles Northeast of <i> ''''' Nāblus ''''' </i> . More probably it should be sought to the Southwest of the plain of <i> ''''' Makhneh ''''' </i> (Michmethath). It may be identical with Tephon, which, along with Timnath, Pharathon, and other cities, [[Bacchides]] fortified "with high walls and gates and bars" (1 Macc 9:50). No identification is possible. </p>

It contains about 600 or 700 inhabitants, is built of stone, and has a ruined tower or castle (Robinson, Bibl. Res. 2, 13).

    Tap´puah, or Beth-Tappuah

    A city in the tribe of Judah, not far from Hebron . Robinson identifies it with an old village, called Teffuh, which he found upon the hills north-west of Hebron.

    Another Tappuah lay in the plain of Judah, apparently in the vicinity of Zanoah, Jarmuth, Socoh, etc. : which of these was the place conquered by Joshua is not very clear (; comp. 10:6).

    Another place of the same name occurs on the confines of Ephraim and Manasseh .

    And in , a man of this name appears.
