This name is fitting given the historical and biblical significance of the city and its associations.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Tirzah is first mentioned in the Bible in the context of the conquest of Canaan. In <a href="/joshua/12-24.htm">Joshua 12:24</a>, it is listed among the cities whose kings were defeated by Joshua: "the king of Tirzah, one; in all, thirty-one kings." This indicates its status as a significant city-state during the period of the Israelite conquest.<br><br>Tirzah gains prominence in the narrative of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. It became the capital of the Northern Kingdom during the reign of Jeroboam I, the first king of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. The city served as the capital until the reign of Omri, who moved the capital to Samaria (<a href="/1_kings/16-23.htm">1 Kings 16:23-24</a>).<br><br>The city is also mentioned in the context of the reign of Baasha, who conspired against Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, and killed him at Gibbethon. Baasha then reigned in Tirzah (<a href="/1_kings/15-33.htm">1 Kings 15:33</a>). The city continued to be a royal residence, as seen in the account of Zimri, who, after assassinating Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned in Tirzah for a brief period of seven days before committing suicide by setting the king's house on fire (<a href="/1_kings/16-15.htm">1 Kings 16:15-18</a>).<br><br>In the Song of Solomon, Tirzah is mentioned in a poetic context, highlighting its beauty: "You are as beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners" (<a href="/songs/6-4.htm">Song of Solomon 6:4</a>). This reference underscores the city's reputation for beauty and splendor.<br><br><b>Historical and Archaeological Insights:</b> <br>Tirzah's exact location has been a subject of debate, but it is generally identified with the archaeological site of Tell el-Far'ah (North), located in the central region of modern-day Israel. Excavations have revealed significant remains from the Bronze and Iron Ages, supporting its identification as a major Canaanite and later Israelite city.<br><br>The city's strategic location and fertile surroundings contributed to its importance in the ancient Near East. Its role as a capital city during the early years of the Northern Kingdom highlights its political and administrative significance.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Tirzah's role in the biblical narrative serves as a reminder of the tumultuous history of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The frequent changes in leadership and the eventual downfall of the city reflect the broader themes of disobedience and divine judgment that characterize the history of the Northern Kingdom.<br><br>The mention of Tirzah in the Song of Solomon also provides a glimpse into the cultural and aesthetic values of ancient Israel, where cities were often personified and celebrated for their beauty and grandeur.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Tirzah's biblical and historical significance is multifaceted, encompassing its role as a royal city, its association with the early monarchy of Israel, and its enduring legacy as a symbol of beauty. Its account is interwoven with the broader narrative of Israel's history, serving as a testament to the complexities and challenges faced by the Northern Kingdom.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tirzah</span><p>benevolent; complaisant; pleasing<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tirzah</span><p>(<i>delight</i>), youngest of the five daughters of Zelophehad.

It superseded Shechem as capital of the Northern Kingdom (<a href="/1_kings/14-17.htm">1 Kings 14:17</a>, etc.), and itself gave place in turn to Samaria. Here reigned Jeroboam, Nadab his son, Baasha, Elah and Zimri (<a href="/1_kings/15-21.htm">1 Kings 15:21, 33</a>; <a href="/1_kings/16-6.htm">1 Kings 16:6, 8, 9, 15</a>). Baasha was buried in Tirzah. Here Elah was assassinated while "drinking himself drunk" in the house of his steward; here therefore probably he was buried. Zimri perished in the flames of his palace, rather than fall into Omri's hands. In Tirzah Menahem matured his rebellion against Shallum (<a href="/2_kings/15-14.htm">2 Kings 15:14</a>). The place is mentioned in <a href="/songs/6-4.htm">Songs 6:4</a> the King James Version, where the Shulammite is said to be "beautiful.... as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem." The comparison may be due to the charm of its situation. The name may possibly be derived from ratsah, "to delight." Several identifications have been suggested. Buhl (Geographic des alten Palestina, 203) favors et-tireh, on the West of the plain of Makhneh, 4 miles South of Nablus, which he identifies with the Tira-thana of Josephus. He quotes Neubauer to the effect that the later Jews said Tir`an or Tar`ita instead of Tirzah, as weakening the claim of Telluzah, which others (e.g. Robinson, BR, III, 302) incline to. It is a partly ruined village with no spring, but with ancient cisterns, on a hill about 4 miles East of North from Nablus. This was evidently the place intended by Brocardius-Thersa, about 3 miles East of Samaria (Descriptio, VII). A third claimant is Teiasir, a fortress at the point where the road from Abel-meholah joins that from Shechem to Bethshan, fully 11 miles Northeast of Nablus. It is impossible to decide with certainty. The heavy "T" in Telluzah is a difficulty. Teiasir is perhaps too far from Shechem. Buhl's case for identification with eT-Tireh is subject to the same difficulty as Telluzah.<br><br>(2) One of the five daughters of Zelophehad (<a href="/numbers/26-33.htm">Numbers 26:33</a>; <a href="/numbers/27-1.htm">Numbers 27:1</a>; <a href="/numbers/36-11.htm">Numbers 36:11</a> <a href="/joshua/17-3.htm">Joshua 17:3</a>).<br><br>W.
