Topic: Beer Sheba


  
  Beer Sheva
Be'er Sheva was the southernmost border of the Israelite kingdom, as becomes clear from the Biblical saying "From Dan to Be'er Sheva." More to the south, the desert began, inhabited first by Canaanite peoples, then Philistines, later by the Nabateans and Arabs.
Be'er Sheva was built on the bank of a wadi which was flooded by rain water in the winter.
Be'er Sheva was also the scene of heavy battle in World War I against the British under General Allenby who took it in 1917.

 sheba - Easton's Bible Dictionary
Sheba, in fact, was Saba in Southern Arabia, the Sabaeans of classical geography, who carried on the trade in spices with the other peoples of the ancient world.
Sheba took advantage of this state of things, and raised the standard of revolt, proclaiming, "We have no part in David." With his followers he proceeded northward.
While Joab was engaged in laying siege to this city, Sheba's head was, at the instigation of a "wise woman" who had held a parley with him from the city walls, thrown over the wall to the besiegers, and thus the revolt came to an end.
