Strategically located in ancient Palestine on the road leading from Egypt to Syria and Asia Minor, it was occupied from the early Bronze Age to Hellenistic times. According to the Bible, Joshua destroyed it because it was the center of the league of Canaanite kingdoms. Solomon rebuilt it as one of his strongholds in the north.
