TIPHSAH

(Heb. tipsaḥ)

1. A city on the west shore of the Euphrates River, ca. 110 km. (68 mi.) S of Carchemish. An important river crossing, Tiphsah was the northern frontier of Solomon’s empire (1 Kgs. 4:24[MT 5:4]). During the Persian period the city was known as Thapsacus and later as Amphipolis.

2. The site of a brutal slaughter by King Menahem of Israel (2 Kgs. 15:16). Although 2 Kgs. 14:28 indicates that Jeroboam II’s kingdom extended into Hamath, raids by Menahem to the Euphrates are problematic. The name should probably be read “Tappuah” (so LXX), placing the city on the Ephraim-Manasseh border (Josh. 17:7-8).

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.
