and Zanoah is a distinct place from the city of the same name in the valley, Joshua 15:34.

Jezreel, the home of Ahinoam (1 Samuel 25:43; 1 Samuel 27:3, etc.), a different place from the Jezreel in the plain of Esdraelon, has not yet been discovered. This also applies to Jokdeam and Zanoah, which are only met with here.
