A Canaanite town in Manasseh where King Ahaziah of Judah was mortally wounded by Jehu's coup
ManassehIbleam was a fortified town in the territory of Manasseh near the Jezreel Valley (Joshua 17:11). The Israelites failed to drive out its Canaanite inhabitants (Judges 1:27). Centuries later it was at the ascent of Gur near Ibleam that Jehu's archers mortally wounded King Ahaziah of Judah during the bloody overthrow of the house of Omri (2 Kings 9:27). The site is generally identified with Tel Bel'ameh near modern Jenin.
