Beersheba_FourHornedAltar Contemporary with the cultic site at Arad was this large four-horned altar at the fortified city of Beersheba.  Like the sanctuary at Arad, it was also dismantled during the 8th century and later reused in building a wall.  This altar illustrates the altar horns to which fugitives like Adonijah and Joab clung to evade punishment.
