Bet Shean
Wikipedia providees the following introduction to Bet Shean: “Beit She’an (Hebrew: בֵּית שְׁאָן Beth Šəān (help·info)), also and Beisan (Arabic: بيسان Bisān (help·info)),[2] and historically known as Scythopolis is a city in the Northern District of Israel, which has played an important role in history due to its geographical location at the junction of the Jordan River Valley and the Jezreel Valley. In the Biblical account of the battle of the Israelites against the Philistines on Mount Gilboa,[3] the bodies of King Saul and three of his sons were hung on the walls of Beit She’an (1 Samuel 31:10-12).[4] The ancient city ruins are now protected within the Beit She’an National Park.” For more historical information on Bet Shean, please see Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beit_She%27an
