Where is Jotbah in the Bible?
Jotbah was a town in ancient Israel, best known in the Bible as the hometown of Meshullemeth, the mother of King Amon of Judah. This reference appears in 2 Kings 21:19, where Meshullemeth is identified as the wife of King Manasseh and mother of his successor, Amon. While the exact geographical location of Jotbah in relation to other biblical sites remains uncertain, it was situated somewhere within the region of ancient Judah or the surrounding territories. The mention of this town primarily serves to establish the genealogical connection between Jotbah and the royal line of Judah during the monarchy period.
