AQABA
The first site in southern Jordan mentioned in the Exodus is
Eziongeber (Number 33-35) .Ezion geber and Elath (or Eloth)were port towns
located at, or near, the Red Sea port of Aqaba. They are best known for their
roles during the Iron Age, a few hundred years after the time of the Exodus.
These locations are associated with both King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba(Deuteronomy 2:8) as well as The Chronic Wars between the kings of Judah
and Edom (1Kings 9:26,2 Kings 14:22)
In recent years, what is believed to be the oldest purpose
built church in the world has been discovered in Aqaba.
