Sychar
   liar or drunkard (see Isa. 28:1, 7), has been from the time of
   the Crusaders usually identified with Sychem or Shechem (John
   4:5). It has now, however, as the result of recent explorations,
   been identified with 'Askar, a small Samaritan town on the
   southern base of Ebal, about a mile to the north of Jacob's
   well.
