Tirzah

Tirzah was an ancient Canaanite royal city that became, after Samaria's founding, an earlier capital of the northern kingdom under Jeroboam and his successors, admired enough for its beauty to be paired with Jerusalem as a standard of loveliness in the Song of Solomon. It was also the scene of Menahem's violent seizure of Israel's throne. The same name belongs to the youngest of Zelophehad's five daughters, whose case established Israelite inheritance rights for women without brothers. Tirzah is generally identified with Tell el-Far'ah North, where French excavations uncovered a substantial Iron Age royal quarter consistent with a former capital city.
