SARTHAN, or Sarthana, a City that some place to the East of Jordan, but it was rather to the West. The Waters retired Josh. iii. 16.as far as Sarthan, or Zaretan, when the Israelites passed over Jordan. Between Succoth and Zarthan King Solomon had 1 Kings vii. 46.the great Brazen Vessels cast, which were for the Use of the Temple. Sarthan is the same as Zeredathah, 2 Chron. iv. 17. and perhaps also the same as Zereda, 1 Kings xi. 26. which was the Country of Jeroboam the Son of Nebat.
