E'phra-in. (hamlet). A city of Israel which Judah captured from Jeroboam. 2 Chronicles 13:19. It has been conjectured that this Ephrain or Ephron is identical with the Ephraim, by which Absalom's sheep-farm of Baal-hazor was situated; with the city called Ephraim near the wilderness, in which our Lord lived for some time; and with Ophrah, a city of Benjamin, apparently not far from Bethel. But nothing more than conjecture can be arrived at on these points.
