Ai (Modern Site near Deir Dibwan, West Bank, Palestine)

Joshua’s forces conquered this Canaanite city east of Bethel. The name disappeared after Roman times, with scholars connecting it to “Et-Tell” or nearby locations in the 19th century. Near Deir Dibwan in the West Bank, Palestine today, archaeological excavations continue to seek conclusive evidence of the biblical battle. Stone foundations and pottery shards offer clues to this ancient settlement.
