JESHANAH

Border city in the hill country of Ephraim that King Abijah of Judah (913–910 BC) seized from King Jeroboam I (930–909 BC) and the northern kingdom during a civil war (2 Chr 13:19). The Greek and Syriac reading of “Jeshanah” as one of the towns between which Samuel erected the Ebenezer stone may be preferred to the Hebrew “Shen” in 1 Samuel 7:12. Its location is perhaps near Burj el-Isaneh, four miles (6.4 kilometers) north of Bethel.
