Shechem. The name (BDB 1014) means “shoulder blade.” This city is located between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim.

Josh. 24); (3) site of the meeting between Rehoboam (Solomon’s son) and Jeroboam (northern labor leader) after Solomon’s death, which resulted in a split between Judah and Israel (922 B.C.).
