The first Canaanite city to fall, with walls that collapsed at the sound of trumpets. One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth; Kathleen Kenyon's excavations dated levels going back to the 8th millennium BC. Jesus later healed blind Bartimaeus here and called Zacchaeus down from the sycamore.
