[some Tara'lah] (Heb. Taratlah', תִּרְאֲלָה , Reeling; Sept. Θαραλά v.r. Θαρεηλά ; Vulg. Thairem ), a town in the western section of the tribe of Benjamin, mentioned between Irpeel and Zelah ( Joshua 18:27). Schwarz suggests (Palest. p. 128) that it "is perhaps the village' Thaniel=Thariel, in the neighborhood of Lod," probably meaning Neby Daniyal, two miles south of Lud; but the name has little resemblance, and the territory of Beniamin did not reach so far west. It is possibly represented by the modern village Beit-Tirza, in Wady Ahmed, just north of Beit-Jala, with a well adjacent and several ruined sites in the vicinity.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

tar´a - la ( תּראלה , tar'ălāh  ; Codex Vaticanus Θαρεήλα , Thareḗla  ; Codex Alexandrinus Θαραλά , Tharalá ): A town in the territory of Benjamin named between Irpeel and Zelah (  Joshua 18:27 ). Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. "Therama") simply says it was in the tribe of Benjamin. In the times of Eusebius and Jerome, therefore, the site was already lost, and has not since been covered.
