Easton's Bible Dictionary
Minnith

Distribution, an Ammonitish town (Judges 11:33) from which wheat was exported to Tyre (Ezekiel 27:17). It was probably somewhere in the Mishor or table-land on the east of Jordan. There is a gentle valley running for about 4 miles east of Dhiban called Kurm Dhiban, "the vineyards of Dibon." Tristram supposes that this may be the "vineyards" mentioned in Judg. (l.c.).

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Minnith

(distribution), a place on the east of the Jordan, named as the point to which Jephthah's slaughter of the Ammonites extended. (Judges 11:33) The "wheat of Minnith" is mentioned in (Ezekiel 27:17) as being supplied by Judah and Isr'l to Tyre; but there is nothing to indicate that the same place is intended, and indeed the word is believed by some not to be a proper name.
