JESHANAH

(Heb. yĕšānâ)

A city on the border of Israel and Judah taken by Abijah during his war with Jeroboam I (2 Chr. 13:19). It is probably also mentioned at 1 Sam. 7:12 (so NRSV, following LXX and Tg.; MT Heb. šēn). Later the headquarters of Antigonus’ general Pappus, the city was captured by Herod the Great (Roman Isanas; Josephus Ant. 14.15.12 [458]). The site has been identified as modern Burj el-Isâneh (174156), 5 km. (3 mi.) N of Jefneh and 10.5 km. (17 mi.) N of Jerusalem.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
