JESHANAH jĕsh’ ə nə (יְשָׁנָ֖ה). A town taken by Abijah from Jeroboam (2 Chron 13:19; 1 Sam 7:12; KJV, ASV SHEN). It is mentioned with Bethel and Ephron, and was prob. located on the border of Judah and Israel. It is prob. the same as Isanas, the headquarters of the Syrian general under Antigonus, where Herod the Great achieved a great military victory over the Syrian king (Jos. Antiq. XIV. xv. 12). The most likely locations that have been suggested are Burj el-Isaneh, N of Jerusalem, and Ain Sinia, a few m. N of Bethel.
