(the apple-city)

1. A city of Judah, of the Shefelah or lowland (Joshua 15:34)
2. A place on the boundary of the “children of Joseph” (Joshua 16:8; 17:8). Its full name was probably En-tappuah (Joshua 17:7). (“Around the city was a district called the land of Tappuah; the city belonged to Ephraim and the land to Manasseh (Joshua 17:8).”–Schaff.)
3. One of the sons of Hebron, of the tribe of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:43). It is doubtless the same as Beth-tappuah.
