About this place
This Jokmeam is named in the list of Solomon's twelve officers “who provided food for the king and his household” (1 Kings 4:7). Baana the son of Ahilud was over the district “in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth Shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam” (1 Kings 4:12). The King James Version reads Jokneam here.
Its site is uncertain. Easton's, Smith's and the ISBE take it to be the Levitical city Jokmeam of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 6:68), toward the Jordan valley; others identify it with Jokneam in Carmel (Joshua 12:22).
