Iron Age
An apparent crisis occurred at the end of the Bronze Age that caused radical changes throughout the eastern Mediterranean, culminating with the arrival of the so-called Sea Peoples in the Levant (Dothan, “Arrival of the Sea Peoples”; Ward and Joukowsky, The Crisis Years; Gitin, Mazar, and Stern, Mediterranean Peoples in Transition). In the early first millennium bc (Iron Age II), the area surrounding Kefar Giladi witnessed the emergence of two Israelite towns mentioned in the Bible: Abel-beth-maacah (at Abil el-Qamḥ) and Janoah (Giv’at ha-Shoqet; Kaplan, “Chronique Archéologique: Kefar Gileadi”; Dever, “Abel-Beth-Ma’acah”, 221). These towns flourished until Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III conquered the region in 733/2 bc.
