Jeshanah
Jeshanah
[many Jesh’anah] (Heb. Yeshanah’, , old, q.d. ; Sept. v.r. ), a city of the kingdom of Israel, taken with its suburbs from Jeroboam by Abijah, and mentioned as situated near Bethel and Ephraim (2Ch 13:19). It appears to be the village Isanas (), mentioned by Josephus as the scene of Herod’s encounter with Pappus, the general of Antigonus, in Samaria (Ant. 14, 15, 12; compare , Ant. 8,11, 3). It is not mentioned by Jerome in the Onomasticon, unless we accept the conjecture of Reland (Paloest. p. 861). that Jethaba, urbs antiqua Judaea is at once a corruption and a translation of the name Jeshana. According to Schwarz (Palestine, p. 158), it is the modern village al-Sanin, two miles west of Bethel; but no such name appears on Zimmermann’s map, unless it be Ain Sinia, a village surrounded by vineyards and fruit trees, with vegetable gardens watered from a well, situated at a fork of the valley about a mile N.E. of Jufila (Robinson’s Researches, 3, 80).

Jeshanah
One of the three towns taken from Jeroboam by Abijah (2Ch 13:19). Now Ain Sinia, well watered and surrounded with gardens. Its position three miles N. of Beitin, near the main route between Jerusalem and Shechem, and its relation to the other towns of the triangle, Ephron (Taiyibeh) and Bethel (Beitin), made its acquisition of consequence to Abijah as commanding the high road to his capital.

Jeshanah
jesha-na, je-shana (;, yesha-nah): A town named with Bethel and Ephron among the places taken by Abijah from Jeroboam (2Ch 13:19). Most scholars are agreed that the same name should be read instead of , ha-shen, in 1Sa 7:12. It is probably identical with the , Isanas, of Josephus (Ant., XIV, xv, 12). It is represented by the modern Ain Snia, 3 1/4 miles North of Bethel, with a spring and interesting ancient remains.
