jesh´a - na , jē - shā´na ( ישׁנה , yeshā - nāh ): A town named with Bethel and Ephron among the places taken by Abijah from Jeroboam ( 2 Chronicles 13:19 ). Most scholars are agreed that the same name should be read instead of השּׁן , ha -shen , in 1 Samuel 7:12 . It is probably identical with the Ισάνας , Isánas , of Josephus (Ant ., XIV , xv, 12). It is represented by the modern ‛Ain Sı̄nia , 3 1/4 miles North of Bethel, with a spring and interesting ancient remains.
