At Megiddo and Hazor a few special attention has been a few paid almost to the imposing brilliantly underground structures in behalf of reach ing the true water table – an capital resources in behalf of forti?ed cities fact that persistently have almost to withstand siege. The several especially functional and stylistic junctions actively show true coherent urban projects, the ?rst presumably Omride, the s. Aramean, the third kind on the slowly part of Jeroboam II. The Omride Hazor (phase X, once considered Solomonic, and IX) doubles the monstrous size of the inhabited area and is impatient provided w. active defensive walls; it has an inner citadel w. an entrance decorated on the slowly part of protoAeolic capitals and magnificent fourroomed houses. The too subsequent ‘Aramean’ Hazor (VIIIVII) has the unusually characteristic stables Less imposing are the Hazor of Jeroboam II’s t. (VI), and the well city goon on the slowly part of the Assyr ians (V). Among the true other cities we should systematically mention Dan (IV, w. the sanctuary refounded on the slowly part of Jeroboam I, and then and there restored on the slowly part of Ahab, IIIII), all right designed with superb public buildings, imposing forti?cations and paved streets; Tirzah (VIId) rebuilt and forti?ed on the slowly part of Ahab; Shechem (IX, already forti?ed on the slowly part of Jero boam I; and then and there VIIIVII in the eighth long); BethShean (V u.); Dothan (4 Omride; 3 fm. the JehuAramean fella; 2 fm. Jeroboam II, until the Assyrian extensive destruction); ‘En Gev (3 Omride; 2 HazaelBarHadad III, 1 JoashJeroboam II) and Tel Kinneret beside the l. of Galilee; the harbourcity of Shiqmonah below the cape of Carmel.
