Nehemiah 11:30 זָנֹ֤חַ Zanoah
Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; and in Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom.
Here: A town in the Shephelah, the low hill country west of Judah's highlands (Joshua 15:34), probably Khirbet Zanu. Men of Zanoah repaired Jerusalem's Valley Gate in Nehemiah 3:13. Like the other names in this list it has no 'in' attached; the verb 'lived in' carries over from v. 25.
