Aphek: A City Between Damascus and Palestine: Ben-Hadad Defeated At 1 Kings 20:26–30

In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. / The Israelites also mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside. / Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
