Where is "b'Ever ha'Emek"?

1.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: In the side of the plain. I.e. they were in the plain close to Eretz Pelishtim. Also Ever ha'Yarden are the places close to the Yarden and close to Eretz Pelishtim 1 , and they were not walled cities; they abandoned them.

This is difficult. Yarden is in the eastern boundary of Eretz Yisrael, and Eretz Pelishtim is in the west! (PF)

Why did they flee the cities?

1.

Malbim: They saw that they cannot rely on the strength of the nation, for they fled, and not on the king, for he and his sons died.
