  • "The Ain es-Sultan spring runs year-round and has given life to Jericho for thousands of years, supporting agriculture in a landscape that is otherwise astoundingly dry for much of the year. The spring is sometimes called “Elisha Spring,” for the prophet who we’re told sweetened its waters. The archaeological evidence, though, suggests that the water was good before Elisha wandered past." (<a>blog</a>)

  • Beit She'an (help·info) (Hebrew: בֵּית שְׁאָן‎ Beth Šəān; Arabic: بيسان‎, About this sound Beesān (help·info), Beisan or Bisan),[2] is a city in the Northern District of Israel which has played historically an important role due to its geographical location, at the junction of the Jordan River Valley and the Jezreel Valley. It has also played an important role in modern times, acting as the regional center of the villages in the Beit She'an Valley.

The ancient city ruins are now protected within a national park, known as Bet She'an National Park. (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beit_She%27an">Wikipedia</a>)
