A city of Manasseh, 6 miles south-west of Shechem, the residence of Gideon ( Judges 6:11 ; 8:27,32 ). After his great victory over the Midianites, he slew at this place the captive kings (8:18-21).

After Gideon's death his family resided here till they were put to death by Abimelech ( Judges 9:5 ). It is identified with Ferata.
