There are several cities named Aphek in ancient Israel. This one is located east of the Sea of Galilee. God, near the city, gave evil King Ahab a decisive victory over Syrian King Benhadad. After Benhadad's remaining army retreats to Aphek, a wall miraculously falls on many of them killing an additional 27,000 troops (1Kings 20)!

Gadara
The city of Gadara and its surrounding area are referred to as the Gadarenes. It was part of an area called the Decapolis. The Gadarenes was the place where Jesus confronted a man whose possession by demons gave him superhuman strength (Mark 5:3 - 5, Luke 8:27).

Salcah
Salcah was one of the major cities controlled by Og, king of Bashan. He launched an attack on Moses and the Israelites when they came close to his kingdom. He was thoroughly routed, however, with his land confiscated and given to some of the tribes of Israel (Joshua 12:4 - 6).
Shittim
Israel, led by Joshua, camped in Shittim (also called Abel-Shittim, Numbers 33:49) immediately before crossing the Jordan River and entering the western section of their inheritance (Numbers 25:1, Joshua 2:1, 3:1).

Gideon and his army of 300 men pursued the Midianites across the Jordan River. Once on the eastern side of the river he asks Succoth and Penuel for assistance.
