JOKMEAM.—A town in Ephraim given to the Levites, near Beth-horon (1Ch_6:68). In Jos_21:22 it is called Kibzaim. No site answering to either of these names is known. Jokmeam is mentioned also in 1Ki_4:12, where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has incorrectly ‘Jokneam.’
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

A city of Ephraim, attached to the Kohathite Levites (1Ch_6:68); in the Jordan valley, the extreme E. of Ephraim. Named Kibzaim in Jos_21:22.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Jok'me-am. (gathered by the people). A city of Ephraim, given with its suburbs, to a Kohathite Levites. 1Ch_6:68. The situation of Jokmeam, (in Authorized Version, Jokneam), is to a certain extent indicated in 1Ki_4:12, where it is named with places, which we know to have been in the Jordan valley, at the extreme east boundary of the tribe.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


jok?mḗ-am (יקמעם, yoḳme‛ām): A town in Mt. Ephraim assigned to the Kohathite Levites (1Ch_6:68), named along with Gezer and Beth-horon. Its place is taken by Kibzaim in Jos_21:22 (in Septuagint here the name is omitted). It is mentioned again in 1Ki_4:12 (the King James Version wrongly ?Jokneam?), where it seems to indicate some position to the East of Ephraim. So far no identification is possible.

Jokmeam
(Heb. Yokmeaim', יָקְמְעָם,.gathering of the people; in 1Ki_4:12, Sept. Ι᾿εγμάαμ v.r. Λουκάμ, Vulg. Jecmaan, Auth. Vers. "Jokneam;" in 1Ch_6:68 [53], Ι᾿εκμαάν, Jecmaam), a place elsewhere called KIBZAIM (Jos_21:22), but better known as JOKNEAM (Jos_12:22, etc.).
Jokneam
(Heb. Yokneam'., יָקְנְעָם, possession of the people; Sept. Ι᾿εκονάμ, Vulg. Jachanan. Jeconam, Jecnam), a royal city of the Canaanites (Jos_12:22), situated on the southwestern boundary of Zebulon (but not within it, SEE TRIBE ), near Dabbasheth, and fronted by a stream [the Kishon] (Jos_19:11); assigned out of the territory of Zebulon to the Levites of the family of Merari (Jos_21:34). From 1Ch_6:68, the name appears to have been in later times written in the nearly synonymous form of JOKMEAM, and it thus appears. (in the original) as the boundary point of one of the purveyorships of Solomon (1Ki_4:12). It also seems to have been identical with the Levitical city KIBZAIM (see Lightfoot, Opp. 2, 233) in Mount Ephraim (Jos_21:22). Dr. Robinson has lately identified it with the modern Tell Kaimon, a commanding position at the foot of Mount Carmel, across the Kishon from the plain of Esdraelon, and in a locality exactly agreeing with the scriptural data, and in name and situation with the CYAMON SEE CYAMON (q.v.) of the Apocrypha (Jdt_7:3), as well as with that of the Cnammona of Eusebius and the Cimana of Jerome, although (in their Onomasticon) they profess ignorance of the site of Jokneam (new ed. of Bibl. Researches, 3, 115). Schwarz (Palest. p. 91) gives a conjecture agreeing with the latter part of this identification. (See also Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 326; Tristram, Land of Israel, p. 119.)
