A little bit about the city of Ashdod
Ashdod
Ashdod, city in southern Israel, on the coastal plain of ancient Philistia; since 1948 a city in southwestern Israel, one of its three international ports and major industrial centers. In ancient times, Ashdod was part of the Philistine pentapolis (five cities). Although the Bible assigns it to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:47), the invading Israelites were unable to subdue it or its satellite cities. When the Ark of the Covenant was lost by the Philistines in battle (1 Samuel 5), it was first moved to the Temple of Dagon in Ashdod. In the 8th century BCE, the city fell to King Uzziah of Judah (2 Chronicles 26:6), but was soon captured by Assyria. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, Psamtik I, pharaoh of Egypt 664–610 BCE, BC, besieged Ashdod for 29 years. Nehemiah, governor of Judea during the Persian monarchy (5th century BCE), condemned the Jews of his time for intermarrying with the Ashdodians (Nehemiah 13). In Hellenistic times, the city was known as Azotus. Pompey removed it from Jewish rule and annexed it to the province of Syria. In Byzantine times, it housed a bishopric (4th–6th centuries CE), but by the European Middle Ages it had lost its status as a village. The ancient city beneath the Tel Ashdod mound had outports at Ashdod Yam (Greek: Azotus Paralios and Castellum Beroartus of the Crusaders), south of the modern city, and at Tel Mor, within the present city limits. Excavations by American and Israeli archaeologists in the 1950s and 60s uncovered remains dating back to the 17th century BC.
Modern Ashdod
Modern Ashdod, founded in 1956 and incorporated in 1968, is on the coast, 7 km north-northwest of the ancient city's ruins. The artificial port, surrounded by breakwaters, is southern Israel's only outlet to the Mediterranean; much of the country's citrus crop is exported through Ashdod. There are large synthetic textile mills and a number of other industries. Ashdod also has an oil refinery and one of Israel's largest power plants. Pop. (2006 est.) 203,300.
