2Sa 10:5 | TNotes | STEP | 10:5 The city of Jericho had not yet been formally reconstructed (see 1 Kgs 16:34 ), but the site was located adjacent to the largest and most plentiful spring in the land, so people continued to dwell in the area. Anyone traveling from Ammon to Jerusalem would pass right by it. It was a place of seclusion from the men’s humiliation.
