Contextual Overview
13Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them. 14When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets, 15and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. 17Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 choice men of Israel fell slain. 18Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers. 19Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.20Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died. 21But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his sayings, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
took cities: Joshua 10:19, Joshua 10:39, Joshua 11:12, 1 Samuel 31:7
Jeshanah: Jeshanah, according to the Talmud, was not far from Sephoris. Perhaps it is the Migdal-Senna of Eusebius, eight miles north of Jericho.
Ephrain: Ephrain, or Ephron, a city of Benjamin, is placed by Eusebius, eight miles north of Jerusalem, near Bethel. Josephus calls Ephrain and Bethel two little cities; and places the former in the tribe of Benjamin, near the wilderness of Judea, in the way to Jericho. 2 Chronicles 15:8, Joshua 15:9, Ephron, John 11:54
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam,.... As he and his army fled:
and took cities from him; the following ones:
Bethel with the towns thereof; the villages adjoining to it; here one of the calves was set up, which either Jeroboam took care to remove before this place fell into the hands of Abijah, or Abijah let it remain, and did not destroy it:
and Jeshanah with the towns thereof; which Reland x thinks is the same that is called by Jerom y Jethaba:
and Ephraim with the towns thereof; a city so called, thought to be the same that is mentioned in the passage, :-; it is here called, in the Targum, Ephron; so Jerom z calls it, and says it was Sichem.
x Palestin. Illustrat. p. 861. y De loc. Heb. fol. 92. L. z Trad. Heb. fol. 85. A.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeshanah is probably identical with the âIsanasâ of Josephus, where a battle took place in the war between Antigonus and Herod; but its situation cannot be fixed. For Ephrain, see Joshua 18:23 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 13:19. Beth-el — "Beth-lehem." - Targum.
Jeshanah — We know not where these towns lay.
