Geshur.Jos 13:13; 2Sa 13:38Kenath.Kenath was situated in the tribe of Manasseh, east of Jordan. Eusebius says it was called in his time [Kanatha,] Kanatha; and was a town in the Trachonitis, near Bozra. Josephus places it in Coelo-syria; and Pliny reckons it among the cities of the Decapolis. It was also called Nobah, after Nobah an Israelite, who conquered it, (Nu 32:42;) which is placed by Eusebius, eight miles south of Heshbon: See Note on Jud 8:11.
