Israel-Day5-Bet Shean


Beth Shan
I Sam 31:10: This is where the Philistines displayed King Saul's body.

The Steam room in the bath house.

Utensils used for bathing.

First flush toilets. Wood planks were placed in all the holes for seating and a channel of water ran below the planks. Sponges were used as toilet paper. John 19:28: Jesus is given a drink of wine vinegar from a sponge, used by the soldiers. At this point when Jesus has humbled himself the lowest, he said, "It is finished".

View from the tel above Bet Shean.
