Joshua 16

וְיָצָא הַגְּבוּל הַיָּמָּה הַֽמִּכְמְתָת מִצָּפוֹן וְנָסַב הַגְּבוּל מִזְרָחָה תַּֽאֲנַת שִׁלֹה וְעָבַר אוֹתוֹ מִמִּזְרַח יָנֽוֹחָה׃
6
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
וְיָרַד מִיָּנוֹחָה עֲטָרוֹת וְנַֽעֲרָתָה וּפָגַע בִּֽירִיחוֹ וְיָצָא הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
7
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

2 Kings 15

בִּימֵי פֶּקַח מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּא תִּגְלַת פִּלְאֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיִּקַּח אֶת-עִיּוֹן וְאֶת-אָבֵל בֵּֽית-מַעֲכָה וְאֶת-יָנוֹחַ וְאֶת-קֶדֶשׁ וְאֶת-חָצוֹר וְאֶת-הַגִּלְעָד וְאֶת-הַגָּלִילָה כֹּל אֶרֶץ נַפְתָּלִי וַיַּגְלֵם אַשּֽׁוּרָה׃
