HANNATHON

(Heb. ḥannāṯôn)

A town on the northern tribal boundary of Zebulun (Josh. 19:14). It was located at the junction of the road leading from Acco on the coast and a branch road that split off the Via Maris at Megiddo to the south. Modern Tel µannaton/Tell el-Bedeiwîyeh (174243) is identified with the ancient city.

Hannathon is mentioned twice as ³innatuna in the 14th-century b.c. Amarna Letters. The kings of Acco and Shimron ambushed a Babylonian caravan bound for Egypt near Hannathon. Labʾayu, king of Shechem, was set free near the city after being captured by forces loyal to the Egyptian pharaoh. The annals of Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III describe the capture of Hannathon along with nearby Kanah and Jotbah during the 733 invasion. During the Herodian period the settlement was known as Asochis.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
