Timnah:
(portion).
(1.) A place which formed one of the landmarks on the north boundary of the allotment of Judah (Joshua 15:10). It is probably identical with the Thimnathah of Joshua 19:43 and that again with the Timnath, or, more accurately, Timnathah, of Samson (Judges 14:1-2; 14:5) and the Thamnatha of the Maccabees. The modern representative of all these various forms of the same name is probably Tibneh, a village about two miles west of Ain Shems (Beth‐shemesh.) In the later history of the Jews, Timnah must have been a conspicuous place. It was fortified by Bacchides as one of the most important military posts of Judea (1 Maccabees 9:50).
(2.) A town in the mountain district of Judah (Joshua 15:57). A distinct place from that just examined.
(3.) Inaccurately written Timnath in the Authorized Version, the scene of the adventure of Judah with his daughter in‐law Tamar (Genesis 38:12, 13, 14). There is nothing here to indicate its position. It may be identified either with the TIMNAH in the mountains of Judah or with the Timnathah of Samson. SEE [TIMNAH, 2.], [SAMSON, 1.].
