Overview
Zenan was a city located in the Shephelah (lowlands) region of Judah in the ancient land of Israel. The town is listed among the cities of Judah's southern inheritance, though little detail is provided about its history, significance, or inhabitants in Scripture.
Key Scriptures
"And Hadad, and Magdal-gad, and Horem, and Beth-pelet, and Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah, Baalah, Iim, Ezem, and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages." (Joshua 15:37, ESV - note: Zenan appears in some manuscript traditions in this list of Judah's cities)
Application
Though Zenan receives minimal biblical attention, it reminds us that God's providence extended to all His people in all places, even those whose stories are not extensively recorded in Scripture.
