US envoy cancels Mideast trip, Israel feud deepens

Joshua 9 is the record of the Gibeonite deception. In Judges 2:20 - 23, the recording of the Canaanites being a snare for the lack of faithfulness is prophesized.

Thanks for posting that. I just read Joshua 9, in which three cities are named. I only had a few minutes to devote to the issue right now, but I did do a little research. One of the Gibeonite cities named in Joshua 9 was Beeroth. I looked it up at BibleAtlas.org, then viewed its lat/lon on a modern GoogleMaps satellite map. (BibleAtlas is a cool site for this stuff!)

I then turned on labels on the modern map and, bingo, that precise location is where Google puts the label "WEST BANK."

Disobedience to God has far-reaching consequences.
