Janoah names two different towns. One lay on the northeastern border of Ephraim, in the Jordan Valley, identified with the modern village of Yanun southeast of Nablus (Josh. 16:6-7). The other was a town in Naphtali, in the north, captured by Tiglath-pileser III of Assyria along with Galilee and Gilead during his campaign against Israel under King Pekah, an event corroborated by Tiglath-pileser's own royal inscriptions listing his conquests in the Levant (2 Kings 15:29).
