Antipatris - Old Testament Aphek


Antipatris was the Old Testament Philistine city of Aphek (1 Samuel 4:1; 29:1). The New Testament city was built by Herod the Great in 9 BC. Antipatris was named for Antipater, Herod the Great's father. Ras el-'Ain is the site of the ruins of the ancient city. The spring at Antipatris is the source of the River Auja. Paul was taken here (Acts 23:31) on the way to his imprisonment in Caesarea.
