Afek 3
Beskrivelse
En by på plateauet øst for Jordan, hvor ulykke ramte Benhadad [1Kong 20:26 , 30]. Det samme sted kan være ment i [2Kong 13:17 ]. Det moderne Fiq eller Afiq (for begge former høres) på bakkens kant ud over Qal`at el-Chucn, øst for Genesaret Sø, repræsenterer sandsynligvis denne gamle by.
