Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 15:34
And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
And Zanoah,…. The first of these, Jerom says i, is in the borders of Eleutheropolis, as you go to Aelia (or Jerusalem); there is at this day a village called Zanua;
and Engannim, which signifies a fountain of gardens, is now (according to the same writer k) a village near Bethel;
and Tappuah was a royal city, of which see Jos 12:17. Enaim, in the tribe of Judah, Jerom says l in his day was the village Bethenim, about the turpentine tree, or oak of Mamre; but that seems to be the same with Ain, Jos 15:32; of which he says the same under that word, and makes it to be two miles from the oak, and four from Hebron. Masius thinks it is the same with Enam, near to Timnath, of which
[See comments on Ge 38:14]; it following Tappuah one would be tempted to think with Jarchi it was the same with Entappuah, but that that was on the borders of Manasseh, Jos 17:7;
and Enam; it has an prefixed to it, and may be read “that Enam”, as pointing out some known and remarkable place, though now unknown.

34. Zanoah is very probably the modern Zanuah, a little to the east of Zorah.
35. Jarmuth was one of the five cities whose kings joined in a league against the Gibeonites, and were defeated in the great battle of Beth-horon. Jos 10:3. It has been identified with the modern village Yarmuk, about eight miles northeast of Eleutheropolis. It is situated on the crest of a rugged hill, and well named Jarmuth, which means the lofty. Socoh became afterwards distinguished from being associated with the combat between David and Goliath. 1Sa 17:1. It was identified by Robinson with the ruins of Shuweikeh, a few miles south of Jarmuth and on the opposite side of the Wady-es-Sumpt.]
