Tel Yokneam stands as a gate to the entrance of a pass through Mount Carmel towards the south. This steep hill was a mighty city in the Biblical times, and due to its strategic location played an important role in ancient history of the region. It was one of Manasseh tribe cities and a Levite city.(Submitted on March 8, 2024, by Jerry Klinger of Boynton Beach, Florida.)

3. Off the Beaten Track - Exploring Tel Yokneam.
The Samaritans have an interesting legend about this tel. They believe that Shaubak, king of Persia, came here to kill Joshua to avenge his fathers death at the hands of the Israelites, amassing a coalition of Canaanite armies. Shaubak uses magic to create iron walls to enclose Joshua and his army. Suddenly a dove appeared to which Joshua sent to Nabih king of Gilead who came and freed him with a shout, then defeating the Canaanites and their allies.(Submitted on March 8, 2024, by Jerry Klinger of Boynton Beach, Florida.)
