Timnah

Timnath or Timnah was a Philistine city in Canaan that is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in Judges 14, as also in connection with Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38:14. Although inconclusive, modern archaeologists identify the ancient site with Tel Batash (Hebrew: תל בטש‎‎), a tel located in the Sorek Valley, near moshav Tal Shahar, Israel. Earlier historical geographers, such as A. Neubauer, Victor Guérin and Edward Robinson, have identified the site with Khirbet Tibneh, a ruin located ca. 3.2 kilometres (2 mi) southwest of Bet Shemesh, in Israel.^[2][3] French orientalist, Clermont-Ganneau, also thought Tibneh to be a corruption of the Hebrew word, Timnah.^[4] When Edward Robinson visited the immediate area in 1838, Tibneh was already a deserted village.^[5] The site is not to be confused with the copper smelting site of Timna in the Arabah near Eilat.
