YOKNEAM-On the Way to Beit Shearim.
Yokneam Illit is a modern town in Israel located at the base of Mount Carmel. The town was established in 1967 near ancient Tel Yokneam-biblical Jokneam. Crusaders called Yokneam as "Cain Mons", or "The Mountain of Cain", since according to a tradition, Cain, son of Adam was killed in this site (Genesis 4: 23-24). In Bible, Jokneam appears four times viz, Joshua 12:22; 19:11; 21:34 and I Kings 4:12. Yokneam was one of the 31 cities that assembled their forces to fight against Joshua and the Israelites but were defeated. The city appears in list of cities that were conquered in 1468 BC by Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III. Archaeologists have recovered findings dated 4500 BC from the site.
