Zaanannim
also known as: Zaanaim
Meaning: wanderings, the unloading of tents
This is an ancient place mentioned in the Old Testament. It was probably called this because of the fact that nomads in tents camped amid the cities and villages of this region.
It is northwest of Lake Merom, near Kedesh, in the tribe of Naphtali.
Here Sisera was slain by Jael, “the wife of Heber the Kenite,” who had pitched his tent in the “plain [Revised King James Version, ‘as far as the oak’] of Zaanaim” (Judges 4:11).
And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim and Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and it ended at the Jordan. —Joshua 19:33
