Today: Jericho (Ariha), West Bank
A city in the Jordan valley, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of Jerusalem and not far from the river.
It was the first city Israel took in Canaan; its walls fell (Josh 6:20). Centuries later Jesus passed through Jericho and saved Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10).
24And the city they burned with fire, and all that was in it; only the silver and the gold and the utensils of bronze and iron they put into the treasury of the house of YHWH.
