This field trip took us to the Plain of Philistia and to Judea’s southwestern low hill country, known as the Shephelah. We spent the day going to the five valleys; Ajalon, Sorek, Elah, Guvrin, and Lachish. We reviewed the origin, culture and history of the Philistines, where they lived and their relationship with Israel through the years.
Azekah and the brook in the Valley of Elah formed the setting for David’s combat against the Philistine giant Goliath in the time of Saul’s kingship. With the help of Daniel and some of our students, we had a reader’s theater and acted out the story of David and Goliath. Each of the students collected stones and practiced shooting their stones with the slings.
