Where is Jeshanah in the Bible?
Jeshanah was a town located in the central hill country of ancient Judah, situated approximately 3.25 miles north of Bethel, in what is now the West Bank. The town is best known from 2 Chronicles 13:19, which records that King Abijah of Judah captured it from Jeroboam of Israel during a military conflict between the two kingdoms. The site is believed to be identical with the ancient place called Isanas mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus and is represented today by the archaeological site of `Ain Sinia, which features a spring and significant ancient remains. This capture was part of Abijah's broader military campaign to reassert Judahite control over disputed territories in the hill country.
