The Shephela Field Trip

The Shephelah field trip is in the low hill country of Judea located south west of Jerusalem. Our first stop was Beth Shemesh, which was an ancient fortified Israelite town. The Philistines controlled the low lands while the Israelites controlled the hill country. This is the area where Samson was raised and used his great strength against the Philistines.
