(Heb., Anab', עֲנָב , Grape-Town; Sept. Ἀνάβ v. r. Ἀναβώθ and Ἀνών ) , one of the cities in the mountains of Judah, from which Josh ua expelled theAnakim ( Joshua 11:21; Joshua 15:50). Nearly west of Main (Maon) Dr. Robinson ( Researches, 2, 195) observed a place called Anab, distinguished by a' small tower. Eusebius and Jerome ( Onomast. s.v. Anob) both confound it with a Beth-Anab' (q.v.) lying a few miles from Diospolis or Lydda (Reland, Palest. p. 560). Schwarz ( Palest. p. 136) says it is the village Anabah, three English miles east of Ramleh, meaning doubtless the Annabeh marked on Zimmermann's Map; but this is not at all in the mountains of Judah, as stated in both passages of Joshua.
