God's People? God Loves ALL People

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

Revelation 22

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
... 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Too many believers do not understand the mercy of God, and his love for his creation. God loves all people.
Did he favor Israel?
No, he selected them to become a beacon of light, a holy people to draw other nations to his light, an example of goodness, justice, and love for others and for God Almighty.
Jacob son of Isaac, son of Abraham (the Hebrew), was renamed Israel. His descendants were called Israelites. His 12 sons were the 12 tribes of Israel.
God gave Moses the Law for the people of Israel, a nation of priests, so the world would recognize that when with God there are blessings and protection.
God enumerated the blessings but (Deuteronomy 28), should they not follow God's laws, the curses also.
After the Kingdom split, Israel was first to turn away from God. And their fate was destruction.
Less than 300 years later Judah followed in the footsteps of Israel. And they too were destroyed.

Did God give up on his people?

No, through Daniel, while he was in exile, God in all his mercy set up another chance for Israel:
Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy or 490 years.
And as promised, Israelites and Judahites returned to their land.
The prophecy also announced to the year, the coming of the Messiah, and how he would be 'cut off' (killed)
Many Israelites recognized Christ Jesus as the Messiah after his death as it was prophesied in Daniel 9 and Isaiah 7, 9, and 53.
Unfortunately many refused Jesus as the Messiah. And there was the last chance for Israel.
When did it End?

Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

That event is what closed the 70 weeks, the last chance God gave to Israel.
Has God forgotten about his people?
No, They will be given another chance.


Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.
8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.
9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:
11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—
12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?

John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

Zechariah 12:10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Israelites will be given another chance just before Christ's return. When he will as promised set his feet on the Mount of Olives. (place he departed from)
"And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,"

God has set aside 144,000 Israelites and descendants of Israelites (Revelation 7 and 14). We don't know yet what their purpose is.
What we do know is that they worship Jesus Christ.
Some say they are his army. Others say they are those who will guide and defend Christians against the forces of darkness...
The Age of Grace is about to expire

Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal

Another reason as to why the 2 events listed in Scriptures involving Gog are 2 separate events.

This is for my brothers and sisters in Christ.
God asks: "When My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?"
It refers to a time after the Israelites were scattered, and there no longer is a land promised to Moses, Aaron and Joshua.
A time when Israelites are not found, or are hidden. Today with DNA we now can know who is a descendant of Israelites.
This Gog event (Ezekiel 38) or 'evil plan', occurs during such a time. The Tanakh only readers know it, or maybe not? Maybe they were fooled like every one of us was, before we realized the wickedness of the minions of Gog.

Now for the Christian Bible readers.
The Day of the Lord, the day Christ returns.
Another Gog event in Revelation 20. This one will occur after Isaiah 11 is fulfilled and a thousand years of Christ's reign on earth.
He will rule the nations with the 144,000 from "the beloved city" (Jerusalem or New Jerusalem, I'm not sure). In those times, ALL will know who Israel the people are.

Prophecies and Events through the Ages (Part 2)

Prophecies and Events through the Ages (Part 1)

Age of Torah

Year 2514
Jasher 90:39 And these are the names of the cities wherein they buried the twelve sons of Jacob, whom the children of Israel had brought up from Egypt.
40 And they buried Reuben and Gad on this side Yardan, in Romia, which Moses had given to their children.
41 And Simeon and Levi they buried in the city Mauda, which he had given to the children of Simeon, and the suburb of the city was for the children of Levi.
42 And Judah they buried in the city of Benjamin opposite Bethlehem.
43 And the bones of Issachar and Zebulun they buried in Zidon, in the portion which fell to their children.
44 And Dan was buried in the city of his children in Eshtael, and Naphtali and Asher they buried in Kadesh-naphtali, each man in his place which he had given to his children.
45 And the bones of Joseph they buried in Shechem, in the part of the field which Jacob had purchased from Hamor, and which became to Joseph for an inheritance.
46 And they buried Benjamin in Jerusalem opposite the Jebusite, which was given to the children of Benjamin; the children of Israel buried their fathers each man in the city of his children.
Year 2516
47 And at the end of two years, Joshua the son of Nun died, one hundred and ten years old, and the time which Joshua judged Israel was twenty-eight years, and Israel served YAHWEH all the days of his life.

Joshua 24:29 Now it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
30 And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.
31 Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

Judges 1, The Continuing Conquest of Canaan
Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”
Judges 3:1 Now these are the nations which the Lord left, that He might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan
2 (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),
3 namely, five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
4 And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Thus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods.

Ruth 1 Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.
2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there.
3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years.
5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.
Ruth 3:1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our relative? In fact, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.
3 Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.
4 Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you should do.”
Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
...
18 Now this is the genealogy of Perez: Perez begot Hezron;
19 Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab;
20 Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon;
21 Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed;
22 Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

Year 2900 (1104 BC)

1 Samuel 1:1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
2 And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
...
14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!”
15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.
16 Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”
17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.”
...
20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”
...
27 For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.
28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord.” So they worshiped the Lord there.

1 Samuel 9:1 There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
2 And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.
1 Samuel 10:20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found.
Year 2940 (1060 BC)
1 Samuel 15
"I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the plunder..."
28 So Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent.”
30 Then he said, “I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord your God.”
31 So Samuel turned back after Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me.” So Agag came to him cautiously. And Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
1 Samuel 16:4 So Samuel did what the Lord said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”
5 And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
...
11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.”
12 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
David vs. Goliath the giant
1 Samuel 17:49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
1 Samuel 18:7 “Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.”
1 Samuel 25 "Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah." ...
42 So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey, attended by five of her maidens; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
1 Samuel 31:8 So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the temple of their idols and among the people.
10 Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
Year 2950 (1050 BC)
2 Samuel 2:1 It happened after this that David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” And He said, “To Hebron.”
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.
3 And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul.” ...
10 Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah followed David.
2 Samuel 3:1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 Sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3 his second, Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite; the third, Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
4 the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 and the sixth, Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron.
2 Samuel 5:1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Indeed we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.’ ”
3 Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel 7:4 But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5“Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?
6 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’
8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.
9 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,
11 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord tells you that He will make you a house.
12 “When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16 And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
2 Samuel 8:15 So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
2 Samuel 11:2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.
3 So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.
5 And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
2 Samuel 12:13So David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.” ...
19 When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.” ...
24 Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Now the Lord loved him,
25 and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
2 Samuel 21:15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint.
16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant.
19 Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
2 Samuel 22:1 Then David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.
2 And he said: “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
3 The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence...
David wrote many praises to God, in his Psalms.
In Psalm 110, David wrote: "The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”"
David had a Lord who had a Lord. The Lord, Most High God, said to his Son: sit at my right side.

2 Samuel 23:1 Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God...
David’s Mighty Men
2 Samuel 24:1 Again the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” ...
9 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men...
14 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
15 So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.
16 And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “It is enough; now restrain your hand.” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father’s house.”

1 Kings 1:1 Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm.
2 Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her stand before the king, and let her care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm.”...
15 So Bathsheba went into the chamber to the king. (Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)
16 And Bathsheba bowed and did homage to the king. Then the king said, “What is your wish?”
17 Then she said to him, “My lord, you swore by the Lord your God to your maidservant, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
18 So now, look! Adonijah has become king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know about it...
32 And King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
33 The king also said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and take him down to Gihon.
34 There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the horn, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”

Amalek the Story of the Amalekites

'Amalek' the misused name for a political slogan to justify a contemporary genocide.

Who was Amalek?

Genesis 36 "Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz."

What did Amalek (the Amalekites) do to the Israelites after they spent 40 years in the wilderness?

Exodus 17:8 Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.”
10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”
15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner;
16 for he said, “Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

What happened to the Amalekites?

1 Samuel 15:2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
...
7 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.
...
33 But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.

Saul and his army destroyed the Amalekites once. But the complete destruction was achieved by King David, before the unification of the two Kingdoms.

Reggio Calabria Italy

Reggio di Calabria, commonly and officially referred to as Reggio Calabria, or simply Reggio by its inhabitants, is the largest city in Calabria as well as the seat of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria. As of 2025, it has 168,572 inhabitants and is the twenty-first most populous city in Italy, after Modena. Reggio Calabria is located near the center of the Mediterranean and is known for its climate, and ethnic and cultural diversity. It is the third economic centre of mainland Southern Italy. About 511,935 people live in its metropolitan city.
Reggio is located on the "toe" of the Italian Peninsula and is separated from the island of Sicily by the Strait of Messina. It is situated on the slopes of the Aspromonte, a long, craggy mountain range that runs up through the centre of the region.
As a major functional pole in the region, it has strong historical, cultural and economic ties with the city of Messina, which lies across the strait in Sicily, forming a metro city of less than 1 million people. Reggio is the oldest city in the region.
(source Wikipedia).
Reggio is where my paternal family is from. Sadly, I never had the chance to visit, but my younger brother did.

My paternal ancestry

I sure hope that members of my enlarged family (cousins) see this, as I'm sharing this precisely for them.
20% of Southern Italians Share this genetic marker: M176. They migrated from the Middle East. In my case, my early ancestors lived in the area of Jericho. Those 20% Southern Italians come from the once Kingdom of Israel (1,100 BC.), that split in two (974 BC.), to yield the Kingdom of Judah in the south. The northern Kingdom of Israel was 1st to be invaded and conquered by the Assyrians (750 BC.). Later, the southern Kingdom of Judah was utterly destroyed by the Babylonians around 600 B.C. The survivors fled, hid, or were taken captive.
A year or more ago, I had asked the Lord in a prayer, If it was true that I was of Benjamin, and he did answer me, with a sharp and brief yes, even before I had finished my words. (some may scoff at this, but...)

Interestingly, my maternal ancestry is Ashkenazi Jew. That was done by an other company that was affiliated with Nat. Geo., at the request of my daughter.

Job of the Land of Uz ?

Job 1

1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.
2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.
...
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”
9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!”
12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”

Every Christian (Old Testament) or Jew (Tanakh) knows the rest of the story, right?
Was the Book of Job writen after 2363 ?
Was Job written before Genesis? That what most scholars seem to say. And I believe they are correct. Moses was born in the year 2368.
Why would God suggest Satan to consider Job? I am not certain why, but is Jasher 66 a coincidence?
We know God is just and merciful. He blesses as well as curses (Deuteronomy 28 is a valid example).

Jasher 10

Where was the Land of Uz? Who lived there?
32 And Ashur son of Shem and his children and household went forth at that time, a very large body of them, and they went to a distant land that they found, and they met with a very extensive valley in the land that they went to, and they built themselves four cities, and they called them after their own names and occurrences.
33 And these are the names of the cities which the children of Ashur built, Ninevah, Resen, Calach and Rehobother; and the children of Ashur dwell there unto this day.
34 And the children of Aram also went and built themselves a city, and they called the name of the city Uz after their eldest brother, and they dwell therein; that is the land of Uz to this day.

Jasher 66

Male Israelite Babies Killed (year 2363)
15 And an officer, one of the king's counsellors, whose name was Job, from Mesopotamia, in the land of Uz, answered the king, saying,
16 If it please the king, let him hear the counsel of his servant; and the king said unto him, Speak.
17 And Job spoke before the king, the princes, and before all the elders of Egypt, saying,
18 Behold the counsel of the king which he advised formerly respecting the labor of the children of Yisrael is very good, and you must not remove from them that labor forever.
19 But this is the advice counselled by which you may lessen them, if it seems good to the king to afflict them.
20 Behold we have feared war for a long time, and we said, When Yisrael becomes fruitful in the land, they will drive us from the land if a war should take place.
21 If it please the king, let a royal decree go forth, and let it be written in the laws of Egypt which shall not be revoked, that every male child born to the Yisraelites, his blood shall be spilled upon the ground.
22 And by your doing this, when all the male children of Yisrael shall have died, the evil of their wars will cease; let the king do so and send for all the Hebrew midwives and order them in this matter to execute it; so the thing pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Job.

Is Jasher 66 speaking of the same Job of the Land of Uz? The year matches a sin that could have justified God.
Remember, God is just and merciful.

EVOLUTION is not a theory, it's a Fact.

Noah was born with white/pinkish skin, white hair (like wool). Source book of Enoch.
Noah had 3 sons who had each a wife: Japheth; Ham; and Shem.
Shem's descendants populated what we call today the Middle East.
Ham (the cursed one), his descendants populated part of the Middle East and Africa.
Japheth's descendants populated Northern Europe all the way to the East, and Asia as a whole.
The Descendants of Japheth worshipped the same God as the descendants of Shem. (Ham is another story.)
Proof is in the Chinese writing or Chinese characters. Also in their worship traditions. they worshipped the Creator God they called ShangDi.
The People of the Middle East have white to slightly tanned skin.
The people of Europe all the way to Russia have whitish skin.
The people of Asia have (depending on the area) white to yellowish skin, in some areas they resemble Middle Easterners.
The people of Africa tend to have dark skin, from brown to literally black in some areas.
Jacob had children with 4 different women. 2 were sisters. The other 2 were servants of the sisters. Possibly 3 different ethnicity.
The Kingdom of Israel was invaded 1st. (700 BC)
Then the Kingdom of Judah was invaded (500 BC)
God's punishment by using Assyria and later the Babylonians.
But the punishments did end there, they were under the curses of Deuteronomy 28.
They were killed, taken captive, fled, hid from the invaders, were enslaved, sold, taken by ships to far away lands.
From life in Africa (for more than a thousand of years), to slave trade to the Caribbeans and the American continents.
Their Middle Eastern appearance changed to African appearance over the years.
Some fled and migrated to coasts of the Mediterranean Sea.
Let's back track, more than likely Asians populated the Americas. Europeans called them the Red man. National Geographic (Genome Project) traced the migration from Asia, crossing to today's Alaska, all the way down the American continents.
European sea farers were short probably as short as most Europeans. Have you ever been in a ship that crossed the Atlantic? I have. I'm 5'10", and couldn't stand up when inside.
Now look at Americans in general of European ancestry, 6 feet is normal for a man.
Why? the abundance of food more than likely, the life style, the activities...
So what is Evolution? Not the one described by Indoctrination Science, but the real Evolution.
Valid for the animal world, and mankind: It's the evolution of appearance, strength, skin color, etc...
Depending on climate, hardship, foods, etc...
We all come from the same Patriarch, yet we can look so different.
Note: the Genographic Project (2005), does not account for the World wide flood, or ignores it. Our ancestors landed at Mt Ararat Turkey. The Garden of Eden was in Africa, and that's their starting point.

I followed DNA science it REVEALED the truth

Strict Bible believing man shares his journey through science that led him to the truth. He refuses to disregard what's been revealed to him through DNA science.


Click on YouTube icon in video to watch on YouTube, for additional references

Scriptures:
Revelation 2:9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

Ezekiel 38 speaks of the very popular war 'Gog & Maggog'. Revelation 20 also speaks of 'Gog and Magog'.
In both, Gog is a prince, whereas Magog is a land. Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal enumerated in Ezekiel are all from the North, and descendants of Gomer, son of Japheth.
What happenned in the years following 1947? European Jews invaded Palestine, where lived a 'peaceful people', in a 'land of unwalled villages', 'dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’.
Israelis are not a peaceful people, and are mostly descendants of Gomer, son of Japheth. The nation of Israel has walls every where.

Genesis 10:2The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

Jasher chapter 10 and Jubilees 8, tells us where the sons of Noah migrated.
Jews or Jewish people either converted to Judaism, or are ethnically descendants of the people who lived Judea.
Prior to 1947, ethnic Jews, Christians and Muslims lived in Palestine. After 1947 European Jews started to pour into Palestine in company of their Military.
Ashkenazi Jews descend very obviously from Ashkinaz son of Gomer, who with the brothers populated northern Europe.
Sephardic Jews are ethnic descendants of Israel son of Isaac.
DNA tests done in Palestine show 80% of Palestinians are natives and are Semites. The other 20% are settlers from the many invasions of the land.
Palestinians are mostly Muslims, but some are Christians.

Jasher, Chapter 91

1 At that time, after the death of Yohushua, the children of the Canaanites were still in the land, and the Yisraelites resolved to drive them out.
2 And the children of Yisrael asked of YAHWEH, saying, Who shall first go up for us to the Canaanites to fight against them? and YAHWEH said, Yahudah shall go up.
3 And the children of Yahudah said to Simeon, Go up with us into our lot, and we will fight against the Canaanites and we likewise will go up with you, in your lot, so the children of Simeon went with the children of Yahudah.
4 And the children of Yahudah went up and fought against the Canaanites, so YAHWEH delivered the Canaanites into the hands of the children of Yahudah, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.
5 And they fought with Adonibezek in Bezek, and he fled from before them, and they pursued him and caught him, and they took hold of him and cut off his thumbs and great toes.
6 And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings having their thumbs and great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table, as I have done, so YAHWEH has requited me, and they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.
7 And the children of Simeon went with the children of Yahudah, and they smote the Canaanites with the edge of the sword.
8 And YAHWEH was with the children of Yahudah, and they possessed the mountain, and the children of Yoseph went up to Bethel, the same is Luz, and YAHWEH was with them.
9 And the children of Yoseph spied out Bethel, and the watchmen saw a man going forth from the city, and they caught him and said unto him, Show us now the entrance of the city and we will show kindness to you.
10 And that man showed them the entrance of the city, and the children of Yoseph came and smote the City with the edge of the sword.
11 And the man with his family they sent away, and he went to the Hittites and he built a city, and he called the name thereof Luz, so all the Yisraelites dwelt in their cities, and the children at Yisrael dwelt in their cities, and the children of Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of Yohushua, and all the days of the elders, who had lengthened their days after Yohushua, and saw the great work of YAHWEH, which he had performed for Yisrael.
Years 2516-2533
12 And the elders judged Yisrael after the death of Yohushua for seventeen years.
13 And all the elders also fought the battles of Yisrael against the Canaanites and YAHWEH drove the Canaanites from before the children of Yisrael, in order to place the Yisraelites in their land.
14 And he accomplished all the words which he had spoken to Abraham, Yitschaq, and Yacob, and the oath which he had sworn, to give to them and to their children, the land of the Canaanites.
15 And YAHWEH gave to the children of Yisrael the whole land of Canaan, as he had sworn to their ancestors, and YAHWEH gave them rest from those around them, and the children of Yisrael dwelt securely in their cities.
16 Blessed be YAHWEH for ever, amen, and amen.
17 Strengthen yourselves, and let the hearts of all you that trust in YAHWEH be of good courage.

Jasher, Chapter 90

Year 2494
1 At that time in the fifth year after the children of Yisrael had passed over Yardan (Jordan), after the children of Yisrael had rested from their war with the Canaanites, at that time great and severe battles arose between Edom and the children of Chittim, and the children of Chittim fought against Edom.
2 And Abianus king of Chittim went forth in that year, that is in the thirty-first year of his reign, and a great force with him of the mighty men of the children of Chittim, and he went to Seir to fight against the children of Esau.
3 And Hadad the king of Edom heard of his report, and he went forth to meet him with a heavy people and strong force, and engaged in battle with him in the field of Edom.
4 And the hand of Chittim prevailed over the children of Esau, and the children of Chittim slew of the children of Esau, two and twenty thousand men, and all the children of Esau fled from before them.
5 And the children of Chittim pursued them and they reached Hadad king of Edom, who was running before them and they caught him alive, and brought him to Abianus king of Chittim.
6 And Abianus ordered him to be slain, and Hadad king of Edom died in the forty-eighth year of his reign.
7 And the children of Chittim continued their pursuit of Edom, and they smote them with a great slaughter and Edom became subject to the children of Chittim.
8 And the children of Chittim ruled over Edom, and Edom became under the hand of the children of Chittim and became one kingdom from that day.
9 And from that time they could no more lift up their heads, and their kingdom became one with the children of Chittim.
10 And Abianus placed officers in Edom and all the children of Edom became subject and tributary to Abianus, and Abianus turned back to his own land, Chittim.
11 And when he returned he renewed his government and built for himself a spacious and fortified palace for a royal residence, and reigned securely over the children of Chittim and over Edom.
12 In those days, after the children of Yisrael had driven away all the Canaanites and the Amorites, Yohushua (Joshua) was old and advanced in years.
13 And YAHWEH said to Yohushua, You are old, advanced in life, and a great part of the land remains to be possessed.
14 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Manasseh, and Yohushua rose up and did as YAHWEH had spoken to him.
15 And he divided the whole land to the tribes of Yisrael as an inheritance according to their divisions.
16 But to the tribe at Levi he gave no inheritance, the offerings of YAHWEH are their inheritance as YAHWEH had spoken of them by the hand of Mosheh.
17 And Yohushua gave Mount Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephuneh, one portion above his brethren, as YAHWEH had spoken through Mosheh.
18 Therefore Hebron became an inheritance to Caleb and his children unto this day.
19 And Yohushua divided the whole land by lots to all Yisrael for an inheritance, as YAHWEH had commanded him.
20 And the children of Yisrael gave cities to the Levites from their own inheritance, and suburbs for their cattle, and property, as YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh so did the children of Yisrael, and they divided the land by lot whether great or small.
21 And they went to inherit the land according to their boundaries, and the children of Yisrael gave to Yohushua the son of Nun an inheritance amongst them.
22 By the word of YAHWEH did they give to him the city which he required, Timnath-serach in Mount Ephraim, and he built the city and dwelt therein.
23 These are the inheritances which Elazer the priest and Yohushua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers of the tribes portioned out to the children of Yisrael by lot in Shiloh, before YAHWEH, at the door of the tabernacle, and they left off dividing the land.
24 And YAHWEH gave the land to the Yisraelites, and they possessed it as YAHWEH had spoken to them, and as YAHWEH had sworn to their ancestors.
25 And YAHWEH gave to the Yisraelites rest from all their enemies around them, and no man stood up against them, and YAHWEH delivered all their enemies into their hands, and not one thing failed of all the good which YAHWEH had spoken to the children of Yisrael, yea YAHWEH performed every thing.
26 And Yohushua called to all the children of Yisrael and he blessed them, and commanded them to serve YAHWEH, and he afterward sent them away, and they went each man to his city, and each man to his inheritance.
27 And the children of Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of Yohushua, and YAHWEH gave them rest from all around them, and they dwelt securely in their cities.
Year 2500
28 And it came to pass in those days, that Abianus king of Chittim died, in the thirty-eighth year of his reign, that is the seventh year of his reign over Edom, and they buried him in his place which he had built for himself, and Latinus reigned in his stead fifty years.
29 And during his reign he brought forth an army, and he went and fought against the inhabitants of Britannia and Kernania, the children of Elisha son of Javan, and he prevailed over them and made them tributary.
30 He then heard that Edom had revolted from under the hand of Chittim, and Latinus went to them and smote them and subdued them, and placed them under the hand of the children of Chittim, and Edom became one kingdom with the children of Chittim all the days.
31 And for many years there was no king in Edom, and their government was with the children of Chittim and their king.

Year 2514 AM

32 And it was in the twenty-sixth year after the children of Yisrael had passed the Yardan, that is the sixty- sixth year after the children of Yisrael had departed from Egypt, that Yohushua was old, advanced in years, being one hundred and eight years old in those days.
33 And Yohushua called to all Yisrael, to their elders, their judges and officers, after YAHWEH had given to all the Yisraelites rest from all their enemies round about, and Yohushua said to the elders of Yisrael, and to their judges, Behold I am old, advanced in years, and you have seen what YAHWEH has done to all the nations whom he has driven away from before you, for it is YAHWEH who has fought for you.
34 Now therefore strengthen yourselves to keep and to do all the words of the law of Mosheh, not to deviate from it to the right or to the left, and not to come amongst those nations who are left in the land; neither shall you make mention of the name of their gods, but you shall cleave to YAHWEH your ALMIGHTY, as you have done to this day.
35 And Yohushua greatly exhorted the children of Yisrael to serve YAHWEH all their days.
36 And all the Yisraelites said, We will serve YAHWEH our ALMIGHTY all our days, we and our children, and our children's children, and our seed for ever.
37 And Yohushua made a covenant with the people on that day, and he sent away the children of Yisrael, and they went each man to his inheritance and to his city.
38 And it was in those days, when the children of Yisrael were dwelling securely in their cities, that they buried the coffins of the tribes of their ancestors, which they had brought up from Egypt, each man in the inheritance of his children, the twelve sons of Yacob (Jacob) did the children of Yisrael bury, each man in the possession of his children.
39 And these are the names of the cities wherein they buried the twelve sons of Yacob, whom the children of Yisrael had brought up from Egypt.
40 And they buried Reuben and Gad on this side Yardan, in Romia, which Mosheh had given to their children.
41 And Simeon and Levi they buried in the city Mauda, which he had given to the children of Simeon, and the suburb of the city was for the children of Levi.
42 And Yahudah they buried in the city of Benjamin opposite Bethlehem.
43 And the bones of Issachar and Zebulun they buried in Zidon, in the portion which fell to their children.
44 And Dan was buried in the city of his children in Eshtael, and Naphtali and Asher they buried in Kadesh-naphtali, each man in his place which he had given to his children.
45 And the bones of Yoseph they buried in Shechem, in the part of the field which Yacob had purchased from Hamor, and which became to Yoseph for an inheritance.
46 And they buried Benjamin in Jerusalem opposite the Jebusite, which was given to the children of Benjamin; the children of Yisrael buried their fathers each man in the city of his children.

Year 2516 AM (after Creation) - (approximatly 1500 B.C.)
47 And at the end of two years, Yohushua the son of Nun died, one hundred and ten years old, and the time which Yohushua judged Yisrael was twenty-eight years, and Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of his life.
48 And the other affairs of Yohushua and his battles and his reproofs with which he reproved Yisrael, and all which he had commanded them, and the names of the cities which the children of Yisrael possessed in his days, behold they are written in the book of the words of Yohushua to the children of Yisrael, and in the book of the wars of YAHWEH, which Mosheh and Yohushua and the children of Yisrael had written.
49 And the children of Yisrael buried Yohushua in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-serach, which was given to him in Mount Ephraim.
50 And Elazer the son of Aaron died in those days, and they buried him in a hill belonging to Phineas his son, which was given him in Mount Ephraim.

Jasher, Chapter 89

1 Then spoke Yohushua (Joshua) this song, on the day that YAHWEH had given the Amorites into the hand of Yohushua and the children of Yisrael, and he said in the sight of all Yisrael,
2 You hast done mighty things, O YAHWEH, you hast performed great deeds; who is like unto you? my lips shall sing to your name.
3 My goodness and my fortress, my high tower, I will sing a new song unto you, with thanksgiving will I sing to you, you are the strength of my salvation.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, the princes of the world shall sing to you, the children of Yisrael shall rejoice in your salvation, they shall sing and praise your power.
5 To you, O YAHWEH, did we confide; we said you are our ALMIGHTY, for you wast our shelter and strong tower against our enemies.
6 To you we cried and were not ashamed, in you we trusted and were delivered; when we cried unto you, you didst hear our voice, you didst deliver our souls from the sword, you didst show unto us your free unmerited pardon, you didst give unto us your salvation, you didst rejoice our hearts with your strength.
7 You didst go forth for our salvation, with your arm you didst redeem your people; you didst answer us from the heavens of your holiness, you didst save us from ten thousands of people.
8 The sun and moon stood still in heaven, and you didst stand in your wrath against our oppressors and didst command your judgments over them.
9 All the princes of the earth stood up, the kings of the nations had gathered themselves together, they were not moved at your presence, they desired your battles.
10 You didst rise against them in your anger, and didst bring down your wrath upon them; you didst destroy them in your anger, and cut them off in your heart.
11 Nations have been consumed with your fury, kingdoms have declined because of your wrath, you didst wound kings in the day of your anger.
12 You didst pour out your fury upon them, your wrathful anger took hold of them; you didst turn their iniquity upon them, and didst cut them off in their wickedness.
13 They did spread a trap, they fell therein, in the net they hid, their foot was caught.
14 Your hand was ready for all your enemies who said, Through their sword they possessed the land, through their arm they dwelt in the city; you didst fill their faces with shame, you didst bring their horns down to the ground, you didst terrify them in your wrath, and didst destroy them in your anger.
15 The earth trembled and shook at the sound of your storm over them, you didst not withhold their souls from death, and didst bring down their lives to the grave.
16 You didst pursue them in your storm, you didst consume them in your whirlwind, you didst turn their rain into hail, they fell in deep pits so that they could not rise.
17 Their carcasses were like rubbish cast out in the middle of the streets.
18 They were consumed and destroyed in your anger, you didst save your people with your might.
19 Therefore our hearts rejoice in you, our souls exalt in your salvation.
20 Our tongues shall relate your might, we will sing and praise your wondrous works.
21 For you didst save us from our enemies, you didst deliver us from those who rose up against us, you didst destroy them from before us and depress them beneath our feet.
22 Thus shall all your enemies perish O YAHWEH, and the wicked shall be like chaff driven by the wind, and your beloved shall be like trees planted by the waters.
23 So Yohushua and all Yisrael with him returned to the camp in Gilgal, after having smitten all the kings, so that not a remnant was left of them.
24 And the five kings fled alone on foot from battle, and hid themselves in a cave, and Yohushua sought for them in the field of battle, and did not find them.
25 And it was afterward told to Yohushua, saying, The kings are found and behold they are hidden in a cave.
26 And Yohushua said, Appoint men to be at the mouth of the cave, to guard them, lest they take themselves away; and the children of Yisrael did so.
27 And Yohushua called to all Yisrael and said to the officers of battle, Place your feet upon the necks of these kings, and Yohushua said, So shall YAHWEH do to all your enemies.
28 And Yohushua commanded afterward that they should slay the kings and cast them into the cave, and to put great stones at the mouth of the cave.
29 And Yohushua went afterward with all the people that were with him on that day to Makkedah, and he smote it with the edge of the sword.
30 And he utterly destroyed the souls and all belonging to the city, and he did to the king and people thereof as he had done to Jericho.
31 And he passed from there to Libnah and he fought against it, and YAHWEH delivered it into his hand, and Yohushua smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls thereof, and he did to it and to the king thereof as he had done to Jericho.
32 And from there he passed on to Lachish to fight against it, and Horam king of Gaza went up to assist the men of Lachish, and Yohushua smote him and his people until there was none left to him.
33 And Yohushua took Lachish and all the people thereof, and he did to it as he had done to Libnah.
34 And Yohushua passed from there to Eglon, and he took that also, and he smote it and all the people thereof with the edge of the sword.
35 And from there he passed to Hebron and fought against it and took it and utterly destroyed it, and he returned from there with all Yisrael to Debir and fought against it and smote it with the edge of the sword.
36 And he destroyed every soul in it, he left none remaining, and he did to it and the king thereof as he had done to Jericho.
37 And Yohushua smote all the kings of the Amorites from Kadesh-barnea to Azah, and he took their country at once, for YAHWEH had fought for Yisrael.
38 And Yohushua with all Yisrael came to the camp to Gilgal.
39 When at that time Jabin king of Chazor heard all that Yohushua had done to the kings of the Amorites, Jabin sent to Jobat king of Midian, and to Laban king of Shimron, to Jephal king of Achshaph, and to all the kings of the Amorites, saying,
40 Come quickly to us and help us, that we may smite the children of Yisrael, before they come upon us and do unto us as they have done to the other kings of the Amorites.
41 And all these kings hearkened to the words of Jabin, king of Chazor, and they went forth with all their camps, seventeen kings, and their people were as numerous as the sand on the sea shore, together with horses and chariots innumerable, and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, and they were met together to fight against Yisrael.
42 And YAHWEH said to Yohushua, Fear them not, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver them up all slain before you, you shall hough their horses and burn their chariots with fire.
43 And Yohushua with all the men of war came suddenly upon them and smote them, and they fell into their hands, for YAHWEH had delivered them into the hands of the children of Yisrael.
44 So the children of Yisrael pursued all these kings with their camps, and smote them until there was none left of them, and Yohushua did to them as YAHWEH had spoken to him.
45 And Yohushua returned at that time to Chazor and smote it with the sword and destroyed every soul in it and burned it with fire, and from Chazor, Yohushua passed to Shimron and smote it and utterly destroyed it.
46 From there he passed to Achshaph and he did to it as he had done to Shimron.
47 From there he passed to Adulam and he smote all the people in it, and he did to Adulam as he had done to Achshaph and to Shimron.
48 And he passed from them to all the cities of the kings which he had smitten, and he smote all the people that were left of them and he utterly destroyed them.
49 Only their booty and cattle the Yisraelites took to themselves as a prey, but every human being they smote, they suffered not a soul to live.
50 As YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh so did Yohushua and all Yisrael, they failed not in anything.
51 So Yohushua and all the children of Yisrael smote the whole land of Canaan as YAHWEH had commanded them, and smote all their kings, being thirty and one kings, and the children of Yisrael took their whole country.
52 Besides the kingdoms of Sihon and Og which are on the other side Yardan, of which Mosheh had smitten many cities, and Mosheh gave them to the Reubenites and the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh.
53 And Yohushua smote all the kings that were on this side Yardan to the west, and gave them for an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Yisrael.
54 For five years did Yohushua carry on the war with these kings, and he gave their cities to the Yisraelites, and the land became tranquil from battle throughout the cities of the Amorites and the Canaanites.

Jasher, Chapter 88

1 And it was after the death of Mosheh that YAHWEH said to Yohushua the son of Nun, saying,
2 Rise up and pass the Yardan (Jordan) to the land which I have given to the children of Yisrael, and you shall make the children of Yisrael inherit the land.
3 Every place upon which the sole of your feet shall tread shall belong to you, from the wilderness of Lebanon unto the great river the river of Perath shall be your boundary.
4 No man shall stand up against you all the days of your life; as I was with Mosheh, so will I be with you, only be strong and of good courage to observe all the law which Mosheh commanded you, turn not from the way either to the right or to the left, in order that you may prosper in all that you doest.
5 And Yohushua commanded the officers of Yisrael, saying, Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provisions, for in three days more you will pass the Yardan to possess the land.
6 And the officers of the children of Yisrael did so, and they commanded the people and they did all that Yohushua had commanded.
7 And Yohushua sent two men to spy out the land of Jericho, and the men went and spied out Jericho.
8 And at the end of seven days they came to Yohushua in the camp and said to him, YAHWEH has delivered the whole land into our hand, and the inhabitants thereof are melted with fear because of us.
9 And it came to pass after that, that Yohushua rose up in the morning and all Yisrael with him, and they journeyed from Shittim, and Yohushua and all Yisrael with him passed the Yardan; and Yohushua was eighty-two years old when he passed the Yardan with Yisrael.
10 And the people went up from Yardan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped in Gilgal at the eastern corner of Jericho.
11 And the children of Yisrael kept the Passover in Gilgal, in the plains of Jericho, on the fourteenth day at the month, as it is written in the law of Mosheh.
12 And the manna ceased at that time on the morrow of the Passover, and there was no more manna for the children of Yisrael, and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan.
13 And Jericho was entirely closed against the children of Yisrael, no one came out or went in.
14 And it was in the second month, on the first day of the month, that YAHWEH said to Yohushua, Rise up, behold I have given Jericho into your hand with all the people thereof; and all your fighting men shall go round the city, once each day, thus shall you do for six days.
15 And the priests shall blow upon trumpets, and when you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall give a great shouting, that the walls of the city shall fall down; all the people shall go up every man against his opponent.
16 And Yohushua did so according to all that YAHWEH had commanded him.
17 And on the seventh day they went round the city seven times, and the priests blew upon trumpets.
18 And at the seventh round, Yohushua said to the people, Shout, for YAHWEH has delivered the whole city into our hands.
19 Only the city and all that it contains shall be accursed to YAHWEH, and keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make the camp of Yisrael accursed and trouble it.
20 But all the silver and gold and brass and iron shall be consecrated to YAHWEH, they shall come into the treasury of YAHWEH.
21 And the people blew upon trumpets and made a great shouting, and the walls of Jericho fell down, and all the people went up, every man straight before him, and they took the city and utterly destroyed all that was in it, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 And they burned the whole city with fire; only the vessels of silver and gold, and brass and iron, they put into the treasury of YAHWEH.
23 And Yohushua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man who builds Jericho; he shall lay the foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates thereof.
24 And Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, son of Yahudah, dealt treacherously in the accursed thing, and he took of the accursed thing and hid it in the tent, and the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against Yisrael.
25 And it was after this when the children of Yisrael had returned from burning Jericho, Yohushua sent men to spy out also Ai, and to fight against it.
26 And the men went up and spied out Ai, and they returned and said, Let not all the people go up with you to Ai, only let about three thousand men go up and smite the city, for the men thereof are but few.
27 And Yohushua did so, and there went up with him of the children of Yisrael about three thousand men, and they fought against the men of Ai.
28 And the battle was severe against Yisrael, and the men of Ai smote thirty-six men of Yisrael, and the children of Yisrael fled from before the men of Ai.
29 And when Yohushua saw this thing, he tore his garments and fell upon his face to the ground before YAHWEH, he, with the elders of Yisrael, and they put dust upon their heads.
30 And Yohushua said, Why O YAHWEH didst you bring this people over the Yardan? what shall I say after the Yisraelites have turned their backs against their enemies?
31 Now therefore all the Canaanites, inhabitants of the land, will hear this thing, and surround us and cut off our name.
32 And YAHWEH said to Yohushua, Why dost you fall upon your face? rise, get you off, for the Yisraelites have sinned, and taken of the accursed thing; I will no more be with them unless they destroy the accursed thing from amongst them.
33 And Yohushua rose up and assembled the people, and brought the Urim by the order of YAHWEH, and the tribe of Yahudah was taken, and Achan the son of Carmi was taken.
34 And Yohushua said to Achan, Tell me my son, what hast you done, and Achan said, I saw amongst the spoil a goodly garment of Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight; I coveted them and took them, and behold they are all hid in the earth in the midst of the tent.
35 And Yohushua sent men who went and took them from the tent of Achan, and they brought them to Yohushua.
36 And Yohushua took Achan and these utensils, and his sons and daughters and all belonging to him, and they brought them into the valley of Achor.
37 And Yohushua burned them there with fire, and all the Yisraelites stoned Achan with stones, and they raised over him a heap of stones, therefore did he call that place the valley of Achor, so YAHWEH's anger was appeased, and Yohushua afterward came to the city and fought against it.
38 And YAHWEH said to Yohushua, Fear not, neither be you dismayed, behold I have given into your hand Ai, her king and her people, and you shall do unto them as you didst to Jericho and her king, only the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall you take for a prey for yourselves; lay an ambush for the city behind it.
39 So Yohushua did according to the word of YAHWEH, and he chose from amongst the sons of war thirty thousand valiant men, and he sent them, and they lay in ambush for the city.
40 And he commanded them, saying, When you shall see us we will flee before them with cunning, and they will pursue us, you shall then rise out of the ambush and take the city, and they did so.
41 And Yohushua fought, and the men of the city went out toward Yisrael, not knowing that they were lying in ambush for them behind the city.
42 And Yohushua and all the Yisraelites feigned themselves wearied out before them, and they fled by the way of the wilderness with cunning.
43 And the men of Ai gathered all the people who were in the city to pursue the Yisraelites, and they went out and were drawn away from the city, not one remained, and they left the city open and pursued the Yisraelites.
44 And those who were lying in ambush rose up out of their places, and hastened to come to the city and took it and set it on fire, and the men of Ai turned back, and behold the smoke of the city ascended to the skies, and they had no means of retreating either one way or the other.
45 And all the men of Ai were in the midst of Yisrael, some on this side and some on that side, and they smote them so that not one of them remained.
46 And the children of Yisrael took Melosh king of Ai alive, and they brought him to Yohushua, and Yohushua hanged him on a tree and he died.
47 And the children of Yisrael returned to the city after having burned it, and they smote all those that were in it with the edge of the sword.
48 And the number of those that had fallen of the men of Ai, both man and woman, was twelve thousand; only the cattle and the spoil of the city they took to themselves, according to the word of YAHWEH to Yohushua.
49 And all the kings on this side Yardan, all the kings of Canaan, heard of the evil which the children of Yisrael had done to Jericho and to Ai, and they gathered themselves together to fight against Yisrael.
50 Only the inhabitants of Gibeon were greatly afraid of fighting against the Yisraelites lest they should perish, so they acted cunningly, and they came to Yohushua and to all Yisrael, and said unto them, We have come from a distant land, now therefore make a covenant with us.
51 And the inhabitants of Gibeon over-reached the children of Yisrael, and the children of Yisrael made a covenant with them, and they made peace with them, and the princes of the congregation swore unto them, but afterward the children of Yisrael knew that they were neighbors to them and were dwelling amongst them.
52 But the children of Yisrael slew them not; for they had sworn to them by YAHWEH, and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water.
53 And Yohushua said to them, Why did you deceive me, to do this thing to us? and they answered him, saying, Because it was told to your servants all that you had done to all the kings of the Amorites, and we were greatly afraid of our lives, and we did this thing.
54 And Yohushua appointed them on that day to hew wood and to draw water, and he divided them for slaves to all the tribes of Yisrael.
55 And when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem heard all that the children of Yisrael had done to Jericho and to Ai, he sent to Hoham king of Hebron and to Piram king at Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish and to Deber king of Eglon, saying,
56 Come up to me and help me, that we may smite the children of Yisrael and the inhabitants of Gibeon who have made peace with the children of Yisrael.
57 And they gathered themselves together and the five kings of the Amorites went up with all their camps, a mighty people numerous as the sand of the sea shore.
58 And all these kings came and encamped before Gibeon, and they began to fight against the inhabitants of Gibeon, and all the men of Gibeon sent to Yohushua, saying, Come up quickly to us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites have gathered together to fight against us.
59 And Yohushua and all the fighting people went up from Gilgal, and Yohushua came suddenly to them, and smote these five kings with a great slaughter.
60 And YAHWEH confounded them before the children at Yisrael, who smote them with a terrible slaughter in Gibeon, and pursued them along the way that goes up to Beth Horon unto Makkedah, and they fled from before the children of Yisrael.
61 And while they were fleeing, YAHWEH sent upon them hailstones from heaven, and more of them died by the hailstones, than by the slaughter of the children of Yisrael.
62 And the children of Yisrael pursued them, and they still smote them in the road, going on and smiting them.
63 And when they were smiting, the day was declining toward evening, and Yohushua said in the sight of all the people, Sun, stand you still upon Gibeon, and you moon in the valley of Ajalon, until the nation shall have revenged itself upon its enemies.
64 And YAHWEH hearkened to the voice of Yohushua, and the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day.
65 And there was no day like that, before it or after it, that YAHWEH hearkened to the voice of a man, for YAHWEH fought for Yisrael.
