Nowadays, Tel Azekah is the place where tourists go to learn about the battle of David and Goliath. From the top of this hill, one can see the entire Valley of Elah, where the battle took place.
In Israel, you can walk where David slew Goliath, where the sun stood still for Joshua, where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal, and so much more.
