KENATH

(Heb. qĕnāṯ)

A city in eastern Gilead, captured during the Conquest by the Manassehite chieftain Nobah, who renamed it after himself (Num. 32:42). Apparently the original name persisted when the city later fell into Syrian hands (1 Chr. 2:23). Known as Kanatha in the Greco-Roman period, it was the easternmost city of the Decapolis.

The site is identified as modern Qanawât (302241), ca. 80 km. (50 mi.) SSE of Rabbath-ammon on the outskirts of ancient Auranitis.

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.
