Zanoah:
(marsh).
(1.) A town of Judah in the Shefelah or plain (Joshua 15:34; Nehemiah 3:13; 11:30) possibly identical with Zanu'a.
(2.) A town of Judah in the highland district (Joshua 15:56) not improbably identical with Sanute, about 10 miles south of Hebron.
(3.) In the genealogical lists of the tribe of Judah in 1 Chronicles, Jekuthiel is said to have been the father of Zanoah (1 Chronicles 4:18). As Zanoah is the name of a town of Judah, this mention of Bithiah probably points to some colonization of the place by Egyptians or by Israelites directly from Egypt.
