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 “Isanas” 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.
