Twin cities on a strategic pass — where God hurled hailstones on Israel's enemies
EphraimHistorically Verified
The twin cities sat on a strategic mountain pass. Ancient Egyptian letters and pharaoh campaign records mention them by name.
Twin cities — Upper and Lower Beth Horon — situated on the strategic ridge route connecting the coastal plain to the hill country of Judah. Joshua pursued the fleeing Amorite coalition down the descent of Beth Horon while God hurled hailstones on them (Joshua 10:10-11). Solomon later fortified both cities (1 Kings 9:17).
