With the new year (see Kg1 20:22) Benhadad advanced to Aphek again to fight against Israel. Aphek is neither the city of that name in the tribe of Asher ( Jos 19:30 and Jos 13:4), nor that on the mountains of Judah ( Jos 15:53), but the city in the plain of Jezreel not far from Endor ( Sa1 29:1 compared with Sa1 28:4); since Benhadad had resolved that this time he would fight against Israel in the plain. 3 Kings (1 Kings) 20:27
