bē´ten ( בּטן , beṭen ; Βατνέ , Batné ): A city of Asher mentioned between Hall and Achshaph (Joshua 19:25 ). Eusebius, Onomasticon places it 8 Roman miles East of Ptolemais, giving it the name Bethseten. It may be identical with the modern village el - B‛aneh , but no certainty is possible.

(Heb. id. בֶּטֶן, belly, i.e. hollow; Sept. Βέτεν v. r. Βαιθόκ and Βατνέ ), one of the cities on the border of the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19:25, only). By Eusebius (Onom. s.v. Βατναι ) it is said to have been then called Bebeten (Βεβετέν ), and to have lain eight miles east of Ptolemais; but this distance is too little, as the place appears to be the "Ecbatana of Syria" (Cellar. Notit. 3, 3, 13, 74), placed by Pliny (5, 17) on Carmel; apparently the present village with ruins called el-Bahneh, five hours east of Akka (Van de Velde, Narrat. 1, 285).
