ACHSHAPH

(Heb. ʾaḵšāp)

A border settlement apportioned to the tribe of Asher (Josh 19:25). The Canaanite king of the city aligned himself with Jabin of Hazor to oppose the Israelite advance and was subsequently defeated (Josh. 11:1; 12:20). The city is mentioned in the Egyptian Execration Texts and later in the Papyrus Anatasi I (13th century b.c.). Achshaph was among the cities conquered by Pharaoh Thutmose III. A letter among the Amarna Tablets describes the king of Achshaph as sending 50 chariots to aid the king of Jerusalem. The ruins of the city may be Khirbet el-Harbaj/Tel Regev (158240) in the southern Acco Plain.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
