BEIT

SHE'AN

Beit She'an was once a magnificent city of Greco-Roman influence dating to the time of Jesus. It bears all the mark of having been conquered and rebuilt by ancient civilizations since the time of the Egyptians. Walking through public bathhouses, theaters, temples, and incredible colonnaded streets will give you a contextual perspective on the scriptures that is invaluable. Interestingly, it was also here that David came to claim the bodies of King Saul and Jonathan.
