Difference between revisions of "En-Gannim"

<li> A city on the border of Machar (Joshua 19:21 ), allotted to the [[Gershonite]] [[Levites]] (21:29). It is identified with the modern Jenin, a large and prosperous town of about 4,000 inhabitants, situated 15 miles south of Mount Tabor, through which the road from [[Jezreel]] to [[Samaria]] and [[Jerusalem]] passes. When Ahaziah, king of Judah, attempted to escape from Jehu, he "fled by the way of the garden house" i.e., by way of En-gannim. Here he was overtaken by [[Jehu]] and wounded in his chariot, and turned aside and fled to Megiddo, a distance of about 20 miles, to die there. <div> <p> [[Copyright]] StatementThese dictionary topics are from M.G.
