TIRZAH.1. One of the 31 cities captured by Joshua (Jos_12:24). It was the residence of Jeroboam i. (1Ki_14:17) and his successors down to Omri (1Ki_15:21; 1Ki_16:6; 1Ki_16:8; 1Ki_16:15; 1Ki_16:17; 1Ki_16:23). The doubtful reference in Son_6:4 compares the Shulammite to Tirzah in beauty. The site is uncertain. Three different identifications have met with favour: Talluza, a village E. of Samaria and N. of Mt. Ebal; et-Tireh, a village close to Mt. Gerizim; and Teyasir, 11 m. N. of Nâblus (Shechem) and 12 m. E. of Sebastiyeh (Samaria). 2. One of the five daughters of Zelophehad (Num_26:33; Num_27:1; Num_36:11, Jos_17:3).

Tir'zah. (delight).
1. Youngest of the five daughters, of Zelophehad. Num_26:33; Num_27:1; Num_36:11; Jos_17:3. (B.C. 1450).
2. An ancient Canaanite city, whose king is enumerated, among those overthrown in the conquest of the country. Jos_12:24. It reappears as a royal city, the residence of Jeroboam, and of his successors, 1Ki_14:17-18, and as the seat of the conspiracy of Menahem ben-Gaddi , against the wretched, Shallum. 2Ki_15:16.
Its reputation for beauty, throughout the country, must have been widespread. It is in this sense, that it is spoken of in the Song of Solomon. Eusebius mentions it in connection with Menahem, and identifies it with a "village of Samaritans in Batanea." Its site is Telluzah, a place in the mountains, north of Nablus.

tûr?za (תּרצה, tircāh; Θερσά, Thersá):
(1) A royal city of the Canaanites, the king of which was slain by Joshua (Jos_12:24). It superseded Shechem as capital of the Northern Kingdom (1Ki_14:17, etc.), and itself gave place in turn to Samaria. Here reigned Jeroboam, Nadab his son, Baasha, Elah and Zimri (1Ki_15:21, 1Ki_15:33; 1Ki_16:6, 1Ki_16:8, 1Ki_16:9, 1Ki_16:15). 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 (2Ki_15:14). The place is mentioned in Son_6:4 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 rācāh, ?to delight.? Several identifications have been suggested. Buhl (Geographic des alten Palestina, 203) favors et-Ṭı̄reh, on the West of the plain of Makhneh, 4 miles South of Nāblus, 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 Ṭellūzah, 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 Nāblus. This was evidently the place intended by Brocardius - Thersa, about 3 miles East of Samaria (Descriptio, VII). A third claimant is Teiası̄r, a fortress at the point where the road from Abel-meholah joins that from Shechem to Bethshan, fully 11 miles Northeast of Nāblus. It is impossible to decide with certainty. The heavy ṭ in Ṭellūzah is a difficulty. Teiası̄r is perhaps too far from Shechem. Buhl's case for identification with eṭ-Ṭı̄reh is subject to the same difficulty as Ṭellūzah.
(2) One of the five daughters of Zelophehad (Num_26:33; Num_27:1; Num_36:11; Jos_17:3).

Tir?zah, an ancient Canaanitish city (Jos_12:24), pleasantly situated (Son_6:4), which Jeroboam made the capital of his kingdom, and which retained that rank till Samaria was built by Omri (1Ki_14:17; 1Ki_15:21; 1Ki_16:15-18; 1Ki_16:23-24; 2Ki_15:4). The site is entirely unknown.

(Heb. Tirtsah', תַּרְצָה, delight; Sept. θερσά v.r. [in the case of No. 2] θερσιλά and θερμα ; Vulg. Thersa), the name of a woman and also of a place. SEE CYPRESS; SEE TIZITE.
1. The last named of the five daughters of Zelophehad, of the tribe of Manasseh, whose case originated the law that in the event of a man dying without male issue his property should pass to his daughters (Num_26:33; Num_27:1; Num_36:11 [where she is named second]; Jos_17:3). SEE ZELOPHEHAI ).
2. An ancient Canaanitish city, whose king is enumerated among the twenty-one overthrown in the conquest of the country (Jos_12:24). From that time nothing is heard of it till after the disruption of Israel and Judah. It then reappears as a royal city, the residence of Jeroboam (1Ki_14:17; Sept. Σαριφά, i.e.? Zaieda), and of his successors, Baasha (1Ki_15:21; 1Ki_15:33), Elah (1Ki_16:8-9), and Zimri (1Ki_16:15). It contained the royal sepulchers of one (1Ki_16:6), and probably all the first four kings of the northern kingdom. Zimri was besieged there by Omri, and perished in the flames of his palace (1Ki_16:18). The new king continued to reside there at first, but after six years he left it to his son Ahab (q.v.), at that time raised to the viceroyship; and removed to a new city which he built and named Shomr6n (Samaria), and which continued to be the capital of the northern kingdom till its fall. Once, and once only, does Tirzah reappear, as the seat of the conspiracy of Menahem ben-Gaddi against the wretched Shallum (2Ki_15:14; 2Ki_15:16); but as soon as his revolt had proved successful, Menahem removed the seat of his government to Samaria, and Tirzah was again left inobscurity. Its reputation for beauty throughout the country must have been wide-spread. It is in this sense that it is mentioned in the Song of Solomon, where the juxtaposition of Jerusalem is sufficient proof of the estimation in which it was held Beautiful as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem (Son_6:4). The Sept. (εὐδοκία) and. Vulg. (suavis ) do not, however, take tirtsah as a proper name in this passage. Its occurrence here on a level with Jerusalem has been held to indicate that the Song of Songs was the work of a writer belonging to the northern kingdom. But surely a poet, and so ardent a poet as the author of the, Song of Songs, may have been sufficiently independent of political considerations to go out of his own country if Tirzah can be said to be out of the country of a native of Judah- for a metaphor. SEE CANTICLES.
Eusebius (Onomuasf.. sv. θαρσιλά) mentions it in connection with Menahem, and identifies it with a village of Samaritans in Batansea. There is, however, nothing in the Bible to lead to the inference that the Tirzah of the Israelitish monarchs was on the east of Jordan. Josephus merely mentions it (θαρσή, Ant. 8:12, 5). It is nowhere stated to what tribe this town belonged; but Adrichomius (Theaf. T. S. p. 74) and others place it in Manasseh. Lightfoot (Choreograph. Cent. c. 88) seems to suspect that Tirzah and Shechem were the same; for he says that if Shechem and Tirzah were not one and the same town, it would appear that Jeroboam had removed when his son died from where he was when he first erected his idols (comp. 1Ki_12:25; 1Ki_14:17). It does not appear to be mentioned by the Jewish topographers, or any of the Christian travelers of the Middle Ages, except Brocarduls, who places Thersa on a high mountain, three leagues (leucae) from Samaria to the east (Descriptio Terrte Sanct. 7:13). This is exactly the direction, and very nearly the distance, of Tellizah, a place in the mountains north of Nablius, which was visited by Robinson (Bibl. Res. 3, 302) and Van de Velde in 1852 (Syr. and Pal. 3, 334). The town is on an eminence, which towards the east is exceedingly lofty, though, being at the edge of the central highlands, it is more approachable from the west. The place is large and thriving, but without any obvious marks of antiquity (Robinson, Later Res. p. 302). Lieut. Coider, however, suggests the identity of Tirzah with a mud hamlet called Teidsir, twelve miles east of Jeba, which he found to have been once a place of importance, judging from the numerous rock-cut sepulchers burrowing under the houses, the fertile lands and fine olives around, and the monument of good masonry, apparently a Roman tomb. The position is beautiful, and the old main road leads to the place from Shechem (Tent Work in Palest. 1, 108).
