1 Kings 20:26 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Aphek - There were several places of this name in Palestine (see the marginal reference). This Aphek has been almost certainly identified with the modern Fik, a large village on the present high road from Damascus to Nablous and Jersalem. The expression “went up to Aphek” is appropriate, for Fik, though in a level country, is at a much higher elevation than Damascus.

1 Kings 20:26

26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fightf against Israel.
