Beth-Haggan

== Holman Bible Dictionary == 2 Kings 9:27 == International Standard Bible Encyclopedia ==

beth -hag´an ( בּית הגּן , bēth - ha - gān , "house of the garden"). The place where Ahaziah was slain by Jehu (2 Kings 9:27 ). The words are rendered in English Versions of the Bible "the garden house," but some take them to be a proper name. The location is doubtful.

(Heb. Beyth-hag-Gan', בֵּית הִגָּן, house of the garden; Sept. Βαιθγάν; Auth. Vers. "the garden-house," 2 Kings 9:27), one of the spots which marked the flight of Ahaziah from Jehu. It is doubtless the same place as EN-GANNIM (See En-Gannim) (q.v.) of Issachar (Joshua 19:21), "spring of gardens," the modern Jenin, on the direct road from Samaria northward, and overlooking the great plain (Stanley, Palest. p. 349, note).
