JESHANAH.—A town taken from Jeroboam by Abijah (2Ch_13:19). It is the modern ‘Ain Sînia, about 31/4 miles north of Bethel.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


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.

Jesh'anah. (old). A town which, with its dependent villages, was one of the three taken from Jeroboam by Abijah. 2Ch_13:19.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


jesh?a-na, jē-shā?na (ישׁנה;, yeshā-nāh): 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 השּׁן, ha-shen, in 1Sa_7:12. It is probably identical with the Ισάνας, Isánas, of Josephus (Ant., XIV, xv, 12). It is represented by the modern ‛Ain Sı̄nia, 3 1/4 miles North of Bethel, with a spring and interesting ancient remains.

Jeshanah
[many Jesh'anah] (Heb. Yeshanah', יְשָׁנָה, old, q.d. Παλαιόπολις; Sept. Ι᾿εσυνά v.r. Α᾿νά), 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” (Ι᾿σάνας), mentioned by Josephus as the scene of Herod's encounter with Pappus, the general of Antigonus, in Samaria (Ant. 14, 15, 12; compare Ι᾿σανά, 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).
