Today: Jordan River: Israel, West Bank, Jordan, Dead Sea
Israel's main river; it flows from Mount Hermon in the north, through the Sea of Galilee, to the Dead Sea.
Israel crossed it on dry ground to enter the promised land (Josh 3:17). Naaman was healed in it (2 Kgs 5:14), and Jesus was immersed in it (Matt 3:13).
28Joab blew the horn, and all the people stood still, and they did not pursue Israel any longer, and they did not continue to fight anymore.

30And Joab returned from following Abner and gathered all the people; and of the servants of David nineteen men were missing, and Asahel.
