KENATH ke’ năth (קְנָ֖ת). A city in Bashan, taken from the Amorites by Nobah who gave it his own name (Num 32:42). It was later recaptured by Geshur and Aram (1 Chron 2:23). It became one of the cities of the Decapolis under the name Kanatha. The Arabians defeated Herod the Great there (Jos. War I. xix. 2). It is usually identified with Qanawat, sixteen m. NF of Bostra, where there are many impressive ruins from Graeco-Roman times.
