Minnith

Minnith was an Ammonite town east of the Jordan where Jephthah's great victory over the Ammonites reached its limit: "He struck them down from Aroer until you come to Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim" (Judges 11:33), ending the eighteen-year Ammonite oppression of Israel east of the Jordan. Centuries later, Minnith reappears in Ezekiel's lament for Tyre's merchant ships: "Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm" (Ezekiel 27:17) — testifying to the Ammonite plateau's famed wheat.
