Notes Photograph is printed in a book with a description beneath
printed description: "(Joshua, x:10.)--'And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.' In the neighborhood of this mosque of Wady 'Ali we are upon a part of the scene where the great battle occurred when Joshua routed the host of the five kings. They are supposed to have fled from Gibeon down by the upper Beth-horon to the lower, and then southward. The places referred to in the tenth chapter of Joshua, which records his great victory, are still to be found in this neighborhood. The mosque of Wady 'Ali was dedicated to Imam Ali. It is a sacred Moslem shrine, overshadowed by a magnificent terebinth tree. The glen in which this mosque stands is beautiful."
