Nablus = Biblical Shechem
A place where Abraham built an altar, as did Jacob, and where Joseph was buried, where Joshua pronounced blessings and curses, and where Solomon’s son Rehoboam was proclaimed king.
‘Nablus’ is Arabic shorthand for the Greek name of a rebuilt city ‘Neapolis’.
Jerusalem Jews found some refuge there when Mongols raided into the Crusader Land of Israel.
