An area near Pirathon in Ephraim, probably about 9.6 kilometers (six miles) west of Shechem (Judges 12:15). It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible but not in the Greek manuscripts of the Old Testament. Some scholars find the reference confusing. However, it is possible that an argument based on Judges 5:14 and 12:15 can be made that there was a small Amalekite district in Ephraim.
The hill country of the Amalekites is sometimes called the "mount of the Amalekites."
