supposed ancient city of Libnah is being awakened from a 3,000-year
sleep as excavations reveal findings from First Temple, Canaanite
periods.

The
residents of the Shfela, which extends from Latrun in the North to
Kiryat Gat in the South, are well aware of the historical significance
of the area in which they live. The vast excavations at Beit Guvrin that
open a window to the Bar Kochba revolt in Second Temple times and the
Eila Valley where David slew Goliath, a stone’s throw from Beit Shemesh,
are just two of the historical treasures.
It is here, perhaps
unbeknown to locals that an archeologist licensed from Bar-Ilan
University is almost certain that he has uncovered the biblical
stronghold of Libnah.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Libnah or Lobna (Hebrew: לִבְנָה, whiteness; Latin: Lobna) was a town in the Kingdom of Judah. The town of Libnah revolted during the reign of King Jehoram of Judah, according to II Chronicles (21:10), because he "had abandoned [the] God of his fathers."
Josiah, King of Judah, married Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah (1 Chronicles 3:15; 2 Kings 23:31-32;2 Kings 24:17-18; Jeremiah 22:11). Two of their sons, Jehoahaz and Zedekiah also became Kings of Judah. Libnah was one of the places the Israelites stopped on the Exodus. (Joshua 10:29)
As recorded in the Bible at 2 Kings 19 and Isaiah 37, in 732 BCE , 185,000 Assyrian soldiers under King Sennacherib were killed by an angel of God while encamped near Libnah, thwarting their advance from Lachish to Jerusalem.
