St. Jerome says that it was destroyed by an earthquake when he was an infant. Burckhardt supposes that the ruins of a small castle called Mehatet el Hadj, may be the site of this ancient city. 5; Nu 21:15,28the children.19; Ge 19:36,37; Ps 83:8Judges 11:13-27

Now we know that Jehovah, our God, has given us the land of the Israelites; and therefore we will not give it up."
