#scythopolis

Beit She'an housed an ancient Canaanite stronghold & when King Saul disobeyed God, he was killed here. King David & later Solomon established the Israelite settlement here.

Beit She'an on the northern district of Israel is one of the oldest cities in the region which was known as Scythopolis during the Hellenistic period. This is where King Saul died for disobeying God.

But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopol´itans dealt lovingly with them, and treated them kindly in the time of their adversity; they gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still unto them: and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks approaching. 2 Maccabees 12:30‭-‬31 KJVA #Jews #Dwelt #Testify #Scythopolis #Loving #Treat #Kind #Time #Adversity #Jerusalem #Thanks #Desire #FeastofWeeks #FeastofPentecost #Approach #LosAngeles #California #Maccabees (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5Ng-7JZg9/?igshid=1gqi46grtk5ax
