Abu Gosh

View looking west towards the Arab village of Abu Gosh—the buildings on the slope of the far hill.

In a cluster of trees, just right of center, is a Catholic Church—see following images for more detailed pictures. The church is located on Deir el-Azar/T. Qiryat Yearim that is well identified with the biblical Kiriath Jearim.

The ark was stored there before David brought it to Jerusalem (1 Chron 13:5, 6; 2 Chron 1:4).
