Gilboa, the Philistines hung their bodies on the walls of Beit-Shean (1 Sam 31:10-12). During the intertestamental period the city was renamed the "Scythopolis". Archaeologists have uncovered a huge number of ruins of the Roman/Byzantine Scythopolis, and during the time of Jesus Scythopolis was one of the chief cities of the Decapolis, a league of ten cities sharing Greek culture and government. We then continue to the Spring of Harod (also known as Gideon Spring), where Gideon chose his warriors (Judges:7), and where the Dead Sea scrolls were found along the Jordan Valley to Qumran. We visit the excavated Essene community and we watch a multimedia presentation relating the story of the holy scrolls.

We head back to Jerusalem to visit the Mount of Olives and to view the Old City of Jerusalem. We walk down the Palm Sunday road to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray and to see the olive trees that Jesus wept under on the night of His betrayal.

The southern side of the Temple was the main entrance for the common folk, whereas the Priests and Levites had their own entrance from the higher, eastern side. Parts of the giant stairs, which led to the Temple Mount from the courtyard, have been unearthed. It is in this courtyard that Jesus likely drove out the vendors and money exchangers who were exploiting the people. We conclude our time together as we view Golgotha above the beautiful Garden Tomb, where we enjoy a time of communion, praise, worship and testimony. We have a Farewell Dinner and we spend the night at Prima Park in Jerusalem.
