Where is Janoah in the Bible?
Janoah appears in the Bible as a place name referring to two distinct locations in ancient Israel. The first Janoah was a town situated on the border of Ephraim's territory, mentioned in Joshua 16:6-7 as a boundary marker for the tribe of Ephraim's land inheritance. The second Janoah was a town in the uplands of Naphtali in northern Israel that was captured and depopulated by the Assyrian king Tiglathpileser, as recorded in 2 Kings 15:29. Scholars identify the first location with Khirbet Yanun in the West Bank, approximately 12 Roman miles east of Nablus, while the second may correspond to Yanuch, a village about 6 miles east of Tyre in modern-day Lebanon.
