How does the AENT 4th edition compare to the others?

Not when used in "beth Israel" and other constructs, which refers to the nation of Israel.
+Shamasha

I don't think so. Consider this example:

and-the-many the-lepers being they-were among Yisroyel, in-the-days-of Elisha the-prophet - Luke 4:27

I know others often translate it as "the-house-of", but I think it is a misread of the word. The probability is that "among" is the default word, and the construct "the-house-of" a rare exception, when it actually refers to a house or building. I have yet to see it used next to "Israel" when it could not be translated as "among".
