It is famous as the spot, (a) behind which the band of Danites pitched their camp before their expedition to Laish (Judges 18:12); (b) where the Ark remained upwards of twenty years (1 Samuel 7:2), and (c) whence it was removed by David to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite (1 Chronicles 13:5-6). It is now known as Kureyet el-Enab.
