  • ALT4: ... that the archaeological site of Khirbet Kheibar, modern-day West Bank, possibly served as the capital of Milcah, a sub-clan of the Israelite Tribe of Manasseh during the Iron Age? Source: Zertal, Adam (2004-01-01), "Geographical and Historical Identifications", The Manasseh Hill Country Survey, Volume I: The Shechem Syncline, Brill, p. 74. "Here we suggest identification with the city of Milcah, capital of a clan territory of the same name (Joshua 17:3–6). In our opinion most of the Manasseh territories had a capital city with the same name as the territory, and it seems that the Sanur Valley was Milcah territory. The name is preserved in the form Wadi Milk or Meleke and in the name of the nearby village Mirkeh."
