Libnah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Libnah, (Hebrew: לִבְנָה) was a town in the Kingdom of Judah. The town of Libnah revolted during the reign of King Jehoram of Judah, according to II Chronicles (21:10), because he "had abandoned [the] God of his fathers."
Josiah, King of Judah, married Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah (1 Chronicles 3:15; 2 Kings 23:31-32;2 Kings 24:17-18; Jeremiah 22:11). Two of their sons, Jehoahaz and Zedekiah also became Kings of Judah. Libnah means whiteness. Libnah was one of the places the Israelites stopped on the Exodus.
The excavators of Tell Zeitah have suggested it as a possible location of Libnah.
