BACK TO THE PLACES--INDEX

Jericho was a city in the Jordan valley.

History

The old Jericho was abandoned after the Babylonian invasion, and settlement moved from the mound to the irrigated oasis. The city developed during the Hasmonean and the Herodian periods, around a complex of royal buildings.

It was in a swimming pool at Jericho that Aristobulus III was murdered by order of Herod the Great. Jericho is also mentioned in the New Testament in relation to some events of the life of Jesus of Nazareth and as the setting of the parable of the Good Samaritan.

With the Jewish War the city declined rapidly and hosted a small Roman garrison and a fort, which played a role in the suppression of the Bar-Kokhba revolt.
