A city and region in central Israel, between Judea and Galilee.
Omri founded the city as capital of the northern kingdom (1 Kgs 16:24); the Assyrians conquered it (2 Kgs 17:6). Jesus passed through the region, and Philip preached there (John 4:4; Acts 8:5).

14And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: committing adultery and walking in falsehood; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his evil; they have become to me, all of them, like Sodom, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.
