The view presented from its highest peak was almost beautiful.

Below, was the broad, level plain of Esdraelon, checkered with fields like a chess-board, and full as smooth and level, seemingly; dotted about its borders with white, compact villages, and faintly penciled, far and near, with the curving lines of roads and trails.

When it is robed in the fresh verdure of spring, it must form a charming picture, even by itself.

Skirting its southern border rises "Little Hermon," over whose summit a glimpse of Gilboa is caught.

Nain, famous for the raising of the widow's son, and Endor, as famous for the performances of her witch are in view.
