Statement of the "Pal. Fund," Oct. On the summit and sides of this tell are traces of a small but very ancient town-cisterns cut in the rock; large hewn stones; portions of the rocky sides leveled and hewn away; and on the south-east the remains of a small tower.
From the summit there is a wide view. Mount Zion is distinctly seen, though Moriah is hid by an intervening ridge. The position, south of Gibeah, and not far from Anathoth; the elevation, commanding a view of Zion, against which Isaiah represents the Assyrian as "shaking his hand;" the ancient remains — all seem to indicate that this is the site of the long-lost Nob Porter, Hand-book, p. Lieutenant Conder ingeniously argues Quadi.

He has gone up from Rimmon,28he has come to Aiath; Plucking Grain on the Sabbath 1At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the sabbath; his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain Pronouncement about the Sabbath 23One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.
The Question about the Sabbath 1One sabbath while Jesus was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked some heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands Saul Slaughters the Priests at Nob 6Saul heard that David and those who were with him had been located. Saul was sitting at Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on t After Saul discovered that one of the priests, Ahimelech ben Ahituv, gave David Goliath's sword, which was also kept in Nob, and that David had managed to escape, the king ordered all of Nob's inhabitants killed.
Despite Saul's vengeance, the city remained intact for hundreds of years. Nob is referred to as the last city the Assyrian army passed through on its way to Jerusalem. Nob is mentioned again, in Nehemiah's description of the return to Zion, as one of the settlements in the region of Benjamin, located north of Jerusalem between Anathoth, identified with the modern village of Anata, and Ananiah, identified with the modern village of Azzariyeh, according to accepted theories.
During the last years, however, none of these biblical references helped researchers locate remains of the ancient settlement. While the Old Testament clearly indicates that the city was located somewhere north of Jerusalem, no site was found that provided sufficient evidence to connect it with Nob.
All that remains is speculation regarding the city's location. His colleague in the Martin Szusz Department, Dr. Other geographic "candidates" competing for the title of the priestly city include the A-Tur neighborhood. In a conference held at Bar-Ilan University last week, Dr. Boaz Zissu proposed a new location: He believes the city was situated at the top of the hill overlooking the Eli branch of the Kidron Valley, called Wadi al-Joz in Arabic.
However, since he lacks unequivocal proof to connect the remains he found with any specific settlement, including Nob, Zissu asks that his theory be approached with caution.
Despite that, corroborating data indicates there is a good chance he is right. This data began to accumulate in June , when Zissu started excavations near the Kidron Valley, to salvage a site about 50 meters north of what is known as Ramban's Cave.
That dig, under the auspices of the Israel Antiquities Authority, began after work to lay a new sewage pipe revealed an ancient limestone quarry.
