Ashnah
Ashnah
(Heb. Ashnah’, , fortified, otherwise bright; Sept. ), the name of two cities, both in the “plain” of the tribe of Judah.
1. One mentioned between Zorah and Zanoah (Jos 15:33), apparently in the region north of Eleutheropolis and west of Jerusalem (see Keil, Comment. in loc.), and near the boundary-line, almost within the territory afterward assigned to Dan (see Jos 19:41), and probably near Beth-Shemesh, possibly at the site of the modern “large village Deir Aban” (Robinson, Researches, new ed. iii 154). It is probably the Asan () or Bethasan () placed I y Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v.) at 15 or 16 Roman miles west of Jerusalem.
2. Another town, certainly in Judah, mentioned between Jiphtah and Nezib (Jos 15:43); apparently in the region immediately south and east of Eleutheropolis (comp. Keil, Comment. in loc.), probably not very far from this last; possibly the present Beit Alanm, a ruined village on a low mound (Robinson, Researches. ii, 403). Eusebius and Jerome also speak of an Asna (, Onomast. s.v.), but without any particulars.

Ash’nah. The name of two cities, both in the Shefelah, or lowlands of Judah:
(1) named between Zoreah and Zanoah, and therefore, probably northwest of Jerusalem, Jos 15:33, and
(2) between Jiptah and Nezib, and therefore, to the southwest of Jerusalem. Jos 15:43. Each, according, to Robinson’s map (1857), would be about 16 miles from Jerusalem.
