"My Help is G-d" or "Flock of G-d" (In Ozar Midrashim 2:316a and 317, Adri'el or Edri'el is one of the angelic guards of the gates of the South Wind and East Wind) ~ husband of Merav (1 Shmu'el 18:19) and her older sister, Mikhal (2 Shmu'el 21:8), daughters of Shaul ben Benyamin; father of five; during the Iron Age, a Meholati resident in Gilead located about 14 miles South-East of Beit She'an. During the time of the Diadochi, the successors of Alexander the Great, Beth-Shean took on the name Scythopolis, 'City of the Scythians'. The city was also known as Nysa or Nysa-Scythopolis. According to a legend mentioned by the historians Pliny and Solinus, Dionysus founded the city in honor of his nursemaid, Nysa, who he buried in this spot. He then apparently settled Scythian archers there to stand watch over her grave. The town's historical importance derives from its strategic location at the junction of major roads that pass through the Jezreel and Jordan Valleys. 'Joseph Weitz, a leading Yishuv figure, wrote in his diary on May 4, 1948 that, 'The Beit Shean Valley is the gate for our state in the Galilee...[I]ts clearing is the need of the hour.' The abundance of water and rich soil of the region lead Rabbi Shimon ben Lakhish to conclude: 'if Paradise is in the Land of Israel, then its entrance is Beth-Shean.'"
