Tappuah

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

TAPPUAH or BETH-TAPPUAH, a city in Palestine, upon the mountains of Judah, not far from Hebron, which Robinson identifies with the ancient village of Teffûh, lying in the midst of olivegroves and vineyards. ( Josh. 15.53; Robinson, Bibl. Res. vol. 2. p. 71, 2nd ed.) There was another Tappuah in the plain of Judah ( Josh. 15.34); but which of these was the place conquered by Joshua, cannot be determined. ( Josh. 12.17.)
