The Spring of Harod

This morning, we left the beautiful Galilee region and travelled south down the Jordan Valley. On the way, we stopped at the Spring of Harod. This is the place where Gideon had his army whittled down by the Lord to 300 choice men to do battle with the Midianites. The location is precisely described in Judges 7:1 and the story follows in verses 2-25. It is remarkable that this spring remains to this day and in exactly the location as described in the Bible!
