Shen
Shen
(Heb. with the art., hash-Shen, , the tooth Sept. Vulg. Sen), a place mentioned only in Samuel 7:12, defining the spot at which Samuel set up the stone Ebenezer to commemorate the rout of the Philistines. The pursuit had extended to below Bethcar, and the stone was erected between the Mizpah and between the Shen. The Targum has Shinna. The Peshito-Syriac and Arabic versions render both Bethcar and Shen by Beit- Jasan, evidently following the Sept., which appears to have read yashan, i.e. old. The name indicates not a village, but merely a sharp rock or conspicuous crag in the vicinity, like Seneh (1Sa 14:4). SEE EBENEZER.

Shen
shen (, ha-shen, the tooth or peak; , tes palaias): A place named only in 1Sa 7:12 to indicate the position of the stone set up by Samuel in connection with the victory over the Philistines, between Mizpah and Shen. The Septuagint evidently reads yashan, old. Probably we should here read yeshanah, as in 2Ch 13:19 (OHL, under the word). Then it may be represented by Ain Snia, to the North of Beitn.
