[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).
