<p> [some E'sheä n] (Hebrews Eshan', אֶשׁעְן , a prop; Sept. Ε᾿σάν v.r. Σομά, Vulg. Esaan), a city in the mountains of Judah, mentioned between [[Dumah]] and [[Janum]] (Joshua 15:52), situated in the group west by south of [[Hebron]] (Keil, Comment. in loc.). Vai de Velde thinks (Memoir, pages 310, 311) the place may be the same as [[Ashan]] (q.v.); but this is inadmissible, partly because of the difference in the name (עַשַׁן ), and partly because the only Ashan mentioned in [[Scripture]] lay in the low country (Joshua 15:42; comp. Joshua 15:33), while [[Eshean]] is expressly placed in the hill country of [[Judah]] (Joshua 15:48; Joshua 15:52). To escape this last and fatal objection, [[Van]] de Velde follows Von Raumer (Palist. page 173) in supposing two Ashans, one in the mountains of Judah, and the other in the southern plain of Palestine, belonging to Simeon; but that the | <p> [some E'sheä n] (Hebrews Eshan', אֶשׁעְן , a prop; Sept.

Still, although Eshean cannot thus be identified with the Chor-ashan of 1 Samuel 30:30, we may perhaps adopt Van de Velde's location of the former at the ruins of Khursa (Robinson's Researches, in, Append. page 116), not far south-west of Hebron (Stewart, Tent, page 224). </p> | ||
