 Zaanaim
    wanderings; the unloading of tents, so called probably from the
    fact of nomads in tents encamping amid the cities and villages
    of that region, a place in the north-west of Lake Merom, near
    Kedesh, in Naphtali. Here Sisera was slain by Jael, "the wife of
    Heber the Kenite," who had pitched his tent in the "plain [R.V.,
    'as far as the oak'] of Zaanaim" (Judg. 4:11).
      It has been, however, suggested by some that, following the
    LXX. and the Talmud, the letter b, which in Hebrew means "in,"
    should be taken as a part of the word following, and the phrase
    would then be "unto the oak of Bitzanaim," a place which has
    been identified with the ruins of Bessum, about half-way between
    Tiberias and Mount Tabor.
