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. </p> | ||

<p> [many Jesh'anah] (Heb. Yeshanah', יְשָׁנָה '', | <p> [many Jesh'anah] (Heb. Yeshanah', יְשָׁנָה '', Old,'' q.d. Παλαιόπολις; Sept. Ι᾿εσυνά v.r. Ἀνά )'','' a city of the kingdom of Israel, taken with its suburbs from Jeroboam by Abijah, and mentioned as situated near Bethel and [[Ephraim]] ( 2 Chronicles 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). </p> | ||

<p> ''''' jesh´a ''''' - ''''' na ''''' , ''''' jē ''''' - ''''' shā´na ''''' ( ישׁנה , <i> ''''' yeshā ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' nāh ''''' </i> ): | <p> ''''' jesh´a ''''' - ''''' na ''''' , ''''' jē ''''' - ''''' shā´na ''''' ( ישׁנה , <i> ''''' yeshā ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' nāh ''''' </i> ): A town named with Bethel and Ephron among the places taken by Abijah from Jeroboam ( 2 Chronicles 13:19 ). Most scholars are agreed that the same name should be read instead of השּׁן , <i> '''''ha''''' </i> - <i> '''''shen''''' </i> , in 1 Samuel 7:12 . It is probably identical with the Ισάνας , <i> '''''Isánas''''' </i> , of Josephus ( <i> Ant </i> ., Xiv , xv, 12). It is represented by the modern <i> '''''‛Ain''''' </i> <i> '''''Sı̄nia''''' </i> , 3 1/4 miles North of Bethel, with a spring and interesting ancient remains. </p> | ||
