Janoah [1]
ja - nō´a ( ינוח , yānōaḥ , "resting-place"):
(1) A place named on the eastern boundary of Ephraim ( Joshua 16:6 f; the King James Version "Janohah"). Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. "Jano") places it in Akrabattine, 12 Roman miles East of Neapolis ( Nablūs ). This points definitely to Khirbet Yānūn . On a hill near by, the Moslems show the Maḳām of Neby Nūn , the father of Joshua.
(2) A town in the uplands of Naphtali, mentioned as having been captured and depopulated by Tiglathpileser. It is named with Abel-beth-maacah and Kedesh ( 2 Kings 15:29 ). It may be identical with Yānūḥ , a village about 6 miles East of Tyre.
