The Jericho mentioned in 20:29 was about a mile (1.6 km) south of the Jericho that was destroyed when the Israelites conquered Canaan (Joshua 6). This new Jericho included a palace of Herod the Great. When the winters grew cold and damp in Jerusalem, Herod would go there to enjoy Jericho's warm, dry climate. His palace included gardens, a swimming pool, an amphitheater, and even a chariot race course.
