Commentary on 2 Chronicles 13:19

Theological / Devotional

Beth-el. A city about 11 mi. (17.7 km.) north of Jerusalem. The towns here mentioned did not long remain in the possession of Judah, for according to 1 Kings 15:17-21, Baasha of Israel started to fortify Ramah only a few years later. Ramah was 5½ mi. (8.8 km.) north of Jerusalem.

Jeshanah. Probably Burj el-Isaneh, northwest of Baal-hazor, not far north of Bethel.

Ephrain. This town has thus far not been definitely identified. Some think that it was the NT Ophrah, et-Taiyibeh, about 5 mi. (8 km.) northeast of Bethel.
