Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Taanak, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: Taanak is mentioned in the context of a city in the territory of the tribe of Manasseh, located in the region of ancient Canaan. It appears in various biblical passages, often in relation to battles and territorial descriptions.

Context: Taanak, or Tanak, was a significant Canaanite city located in the Jezreel Valley, near the Kishon River. It is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh, although it was initially a Canaanite stronghold. The city is noted for its strategic importance due to its location on the ancient trade routes. In the Book of Joshua, Taanak is listed among the cities that the Israelites failed to fully conquer, as the Canaanites continued to dwell there (Joshua 17:11-12). The city is also mentioned in the context of the battle led by Deborah and Barak against Sisera, where the kings of Canaan fought at Taanak by the waters of Megiddo (Judges 5:19). Taanak's historical and archaeological significance is underscored by its mention in Egyptian records, such as the Amarna letters, which highlight its role in regional politics during the Late Bronze Age.
