About This Place

An ancient city in the hills of Judah where Abraham settled and bought a burial cave for Sarah. The cave of Machpelah here became the family tomb for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their wives. David was anointed king over Judah here first, and it served as his capital for 7 years before he moved to Jerusalem.
