As a place, Tirzah was a significant city in the northern kingdom of Israel, serving as a royal city before Samaria became the capital.

It was the capital of the northern kingdom during the reigns of several kings, including Jeroboam I and Baasha. The city's name, meaning "pleasure" or "delight," reflects its favorable conditions and possibly its aesthetic appeal.
