HOLY LAND UNCOVERED | The Kidron Valley begins on the outskirts of Jerusalem's old city on the Mount of Olives and sloped down to the Judean desert. It is mentioned not only in the Hebrew bible, but in the new testament. Our Uri Shapira has the story.
Many sites in the holy land have a luxurious mausoleum which are dedicated to a Muslim, Christian or Roman figure. However, these three impressive monuments are associated with Jewish characters. This is the Kidron Valley
Perhaps the most striking monument here is the Tomb of Absalom: carved out of rock, and this monument is around 19 meters high. Absalom is described as the rebel son of Kind David, who forced David to flee and almost took over the United Israeli Kingdo. In the book of Samuel Absalom orders the construction of a huge monument to himself. In 2003, Anthropologist Joe Zias from the Hebrew University deciphered an inscription on Absalom’s tomb which emphasis the theory that it is where Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, is buried, and perhaps other figures from the New Testament as well.
Joe Zias, anthropologist from science and archaeology at Hebrew University says,This finding is very important to Christianity and I think to the history of Jerusalem as well. Because first of all we know the existence, for literary sources at least of these tombs and of these individuals, but we never knew exactly where they were buried and now we have evidence going back to the 4th century that perhaps this was the tomb of Zachariah, Shimon, and we hope that perhaps James as well.
The third monument is Zecheriah’s Tomb and as opposed to the other monuments, it is completely carved out of solid rock. The tomb is dated to the late Hellenistic period. But tradition ties this site to one of the tragic stories of the bible, a story mentioned in the book of Chronicles.
Right below the Mouth of Olives, The Kidron Valley was a substantial burial sites for Jews and Christians. It is also mentioned in the New Testament as one of the areas Jesus passed on his way to Bethany. One way or another, it is one of the most interesting and remarkable burial sites in the Holy Land

The Valley of The Shadow of Death, Jerusalem
Part 2 of the Jerusalem mini-series. In this episode, we explore the Kidron Valley.
Season 1, Episode 38
Transcript:
In the last episode, we walked through Via Dolorosa in the Old City of Jerusalem, which led us to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus spent lis last hours before he was taken to to be judged.
This Episode, we continue the Jerusalem tour as we descend into the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
Jerusalem rests on the edge of two valleys: The Hinnom and the Kidron.
Both of these Valleys do not have a pleasant history.
The Hinnom valley is where some of the kings of Judah sacrificed their children by fire to Molech, who is believed, by some scholars, to be Satan.
The Kidron valley, is where King Jehoshaphat overthrown the enemies of Israel, and where the Levites would throw away the unclean and defiled items to.
The Kidron valley is located on the east side of Jerusalem. If we exit Via Dolorosa street through the Lion’s Gate, and walk a few minutes east, we’ll find ourselves in the valley of Kidron.
Today the valley is a mix of ancient and modern graveyard. Since many Jews believe that they will be resurrected when Messiah will come through the East Gate, they are willing to pay big money to be buried as close to the gate as possible. So they could be the first to enter the new kingdom.
If only they knew that the Messiah they are waiting for had already told them that the last will be first, and the first will be last.
As we descended lower into the Valley of the Shadow of Death, we find the monument which Absalom built for himself. Through generations, the Jews had an interesting custom to bring their children here and have them throw rocks at the monument, as a reminder to what happens when you disobey God.
According to the Bible, Absalom was not buried inside of his own monument. Instead, he was buried in a shame way. Joab threw him into a pit and piled a heap of rocks on top.
Today the monument is sealed, but in the early 20th century, they were able to get inside and find an inscription from the 4th century: “This is the tomb of Zachariah, the martyr, the holy priest, the father of John”. Could this really be the tomb of John the Baptist?
During the rebellion of Absalom, King David, fled Jerusalem through this valley. Then he mentions this valley in Psalm 23:
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Because this valley is located on the east side of Jerusalem, it is covered in shadow most of the day. The overlooking monument of the wicked king Absalom reminds the fate of those who rebel against God. The burial caves scream “death”, and the adjacent valley of Hinnom points to the eternal lake of fire. It makes sense for David to write these words as he fled from Absalom, but it even makes more sense to apply it to Jesus.
This valley is located right between Gethsemane and Jerusalem. So when Jesus was captured in Gethsemane, he had to actually walk through this valley, and into Jerusalem.
Right next to Absalom's monument is what believe to the Tomb of prophet Zachariah. However, the archeologist could not yet find the actual tomb as they have evidence to believe that this is a monolith. Completely carved out of the solid rock and does not contain a burial chamber.

Kidron Valley - Ancient Jerusalem
Kidron Valley. Randall Niles looks up at the Golden Gate on the Temple Mount of Ancient Jerusalem.
The Kidron Valley is located on the eastern edge of Jerusalem, between the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives. Many important events of biblical history occurred in the Kidron Valley.
In the Old Testament, King David crossed the Kidron Valley to escape his wicked son Absalom (2 Samuel 15:23-30). The Kidron Valley is also where King Asa burned the pagan idols and asherah poles (1 Kings 15:13) and where the evil Athaliah was executed (2 Kings 11:16). It became a major cemetery as far back as King Josiah (2 Kings 23:6).
In the New Testament, Jesus traveled from Jerusalem to Bethany through the Kidron Valley to visit Lazarus and raise him from the dead (John 11 and John 12). Jesus also rode the foal of a donkey up the Kidron Valley from the Mount of Olives through the gates of Jerusalem during his Triumphal Entry ( Luke 19:28-44). A few days later, after the Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley to go pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he was ultimately arrested ( John 18:1-11).
Many scholars view the Kidron Valley as a major location in ends times prophecy. Christians believe Jesus Christ will return to earth on the Mount of Olives, cross over the Kidron Valley, and reenter the City of Jerusalem as King of Kings. Jews believe that the Messiah will come from the East, pass over the Mount of Olives and through the Kidron Valley before arriving on the Temple Mount. Muslims have their own account where the prophet Jesus will return in a similar way. These views of the end times have caused all three religious communities to build huge cemeteries throughout the Kidron Valley.

The Valley of the Shadow of Death
The Qidron Valley (often spelled Kidron because of its Greek transliteration) lies between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. A deep, often shadowy valley which included many tombs on its eastern side in both antiquity and today, it fits well the description of Psalm 23:4. It has particular application to the Passion of Jesus as he walked from the Upper Room to Gethsemane on the last night of his mortal life.
