First Book Of Kings Research Articles

تفنيد الروايات التوراتيّة الخاصّة ببدايات التواجد اليهودي "في مدينة القدس في التاريخ القديم"

Throughout the ages, the history of any country has not been subjected to forgery and distortion, as has the history of Palestine, with the city of Jerusalem at its heart, according to the whims of the researchers who dealt with it, whether they were politicians, Archaeologists, or educated, in the service of the Zionist project of the need for the Jews to return to what is they called it (the Promised Land), and the rebuilding of what they called (the Temple of Solomon). It seems that the writings of these researchers were based mainly on what was mentioned in the books of the Old Testament, especially the books that were added to the Old Testament after the death of Moses, peace be upon him, and which were codified by the priests of the Children of Israel several centuries after his death. In these books, especially the second book of Samuel and the first book of Kings, their writers baptized fabricated heroic deeds that were attributed to David and his son Solomon, peace be upon them. It was attributed to David taking possession of the city of Jerusalem and taking it as the capital of his rule, then it was attributed to Solomon that he built a temple to God in this city. But recent studies have refuted these allegations, and proved beyond a reasonable doubt that is unfounded.
 The study relied on two main approaches: the historical approach and the analytical descriptive approach, in order to show the value of refuting the narratives of the Jewish presence in the city of Jerusalem in the time of David specifically, and it proved that the beginnings of the Jewish presence in the Holy City were during the period of Persian rule of Palestine, although their presence during This period and what follows were no more than autonomy.

«Ловы» Владимира Мономаха: книжные контексты одного летописного фрагмента

The fragment of the “Sermon” by Vladimir Monomakh in which the prince tells about his hunting feats dating back to the time of his reign in Chernigov is considered. This description is recognized as reliable, but at the same time affected a literary influence of a number of works included in the circle of reading of the prince. Among such works are the apocryphal “Covenant of Judah”, the story of the First Book of Kings about David’s struggle with wild beasts, the Second Epistle to the Corinthians of the Apostle Paul and a chronicle article about the devil’s temptation of hermit Isaky from Kiev-Pechersk. These texts were used by Vladimir as literary samples in a functional and partly meaningful way. Therefrom, he borrowed the narrative model and individual images, thereby giving the story about himself not only an instructive character, but also a sacred meaning associated with the memory of the contexts of his sources.

During the Middle Ages on the Eastern Orthodox Church territories there existed an encyclopedia book, entitled the Palaea Interpretata that was extremely popular and highly respected. The current paper studies one of the Biblical sources of The Palaea Interpretata – namely, the collection of selected psalms, entitled “David’s Prophesies” (давидъ же прорицаше). The discussion is focused on the compiler’s placing of the collection in The Palaea, in the part dedicated to David (i.e. after the excerpts from the First and Second Books of Samuel and before the First Book of Kings). David’s Prophesies belonged to the original content of The Palaea Interpretata. They had one major goal – to represent the Old Testament as a prototype of the New Testament and to prove the superiority of the Christian doctrine over the non-Christian ones. The Compiler of The Palaea Interpretata chose various psalms or parts of psalms, dividing them into twenty five orations with respective titles. To trace the editing performed over the Psalter text the current article draws a parallel with the text of seven psalters from the 11th–16th centuries. It establishes the greatest resemblance with the Bychkov Psalter of the 11th century, which reflects the Preslav version of the Psalter translation. At the same time, it becomes obvious that “David’ Prophesies” of The Palaea Interpretata have also retained many of the peculiarities of the primary translation of the Psalter as reflected in Sinai Glagolitic Psalter. The Glagolitic traces are to be found in the very text of “David’s Prophesies” of The Palaea Interpretata, which obviously derive from the psalter, serving as their source and protograph. The source was of relatively old origin; it contained traces of Glagolitic letters, and reflected the Psalter’s primary translation into Old Bulgarian by Cyril and Methodius, which had been edited in Preslav.

The Listening Heart: Reflections on the Foundations of Law

The Listening Heart: Reflections on the Foundations of Law HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI Mr President of the Federal Republic, Mr President of the Bundestag, Madam Chancellor, Madam President of the Bundesrat, Ladies and Gentlemen Members of the House, It is an honor and a joy for me to speak before this distinguished house, before the Parliament of my native Germany, that meets here as a democratically elected representation of the people, in order to work for the good of the Federal Republic of Germany. I should like to thank the President of the Bundestag both for his invitation to deliver this address and for the kind words of greeting and appreciation with which he has welcomed me. At this moment I turn to you, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, not least as your fellow-countryman who for all his life has been conscious of close links to his origins, and has followed the affairs of his native Germany with keen interest. But the invitation to give this address was extended to me as Pope, as the Bishop of Rome, who bears the highest responsibility for Catholic Christianity. In issuing this invitation you are acknowledging the role that the Holy See plays as a partner within the community of peoples and states. Setting out from this international responsibility that I hold, I should like to propose to you some thoughts on the foundations of a free state of law.© Copyright 2011—Libreria Editrice Vaticana. An address by His Holiness to the Bundestag, Berlin, 22 September 2011. arion 19.3 winter 2012 Allow me to begin my reflections on the foundations of law (Recht) with a brief story from sacred Scripture. In the First Book of Kings, it is recounted that God invited the young King Solomon, on his accession to the throne, to make a request. What will the young ruler ask for at this important moment? Success—wealth—long life—destruction of his enemies? He chooses none of these things. Instead, he asks for a listening heart so that he may govern God’s people , and discern between good and evil (1 Kgs 3:9). Through this story, the Bible wants to tell us what should ultimately matter for a politician. His fundamental criterion and the motivation for his work as a politician must not be success, and certainly not material gain. Politics must be a striving for justice, and hence it has to establish the fundamental preconditions for peace. Naturally a politician will seek success, without which he would have no opportunity for effective political action at all. Yet success is subordinated to the criterion of justice, to the will to do what is right, and to the understanding of what is right. Success can also be seductive and thus can open up the path towards the falsification of what is right, towards the destruction of justice. “Without justice—what else is the State but a great band of robbers?” as Saint Augustine once said. We Germans know from our own experience that these words are no empty spectre. We have seen how power became divorced from right, how power opposed right and crushed it, so that the State became an instrument for destroying right—a highly organized band of robbers, capable of threatening the whole world and driving it to the edge of the abyss. To serve right and to fight against the dominion of wrong is and remains the fundamental task of the politician. At a moment in history when man has acquired previously inconceivable power, this task takes on a particular urgency. Man can destroy the world. He can manipulate himself. He can, so to speak, make human beings and he can deny them their humanity. How do we recognize what is right? How can we discern between good and evil, between what is truly right and what may apthe listening heart 4 pear right? Even now, Solomon’s request remains the decisive issue facing politicians and politics today. For most of the matters that need to be regulated by law, the support of the majority can serve as a sufficient criterion. Yet it is evident that for the fundamental issues of law, in which the...

Traces of a Non-Masoretic Text in the Antiochene Revision

The problems concerning the correspondence between Greek and Masoretic texts must be considered within the scope of a Hebrew textual pluralism, that could be able to explain large displacements and many of Greek doublets. The author presents and analyses two fragments of the Antiochene text of the first book of Kings as a sample of the lacking in correspondence with Masoretic text. As in coincident sections Greek is strongly literal, it seems that the Greek translation of these books tended to be faithful to the original, therefore the discrepancies of quite a great extent, as those presented here, show that the underlying Hebrew text held considerable differences from Masoretic.

The Exodus Motif in 1 Kings 1–14

The appearance of the Exodus motif in several books of the Bible has been the subject of several studies. The present article examines the use of the Exodus motif in chs. 1–14 of the first book of Kings, first identifying explicit references, and concluding with more oblique ones. These allusions appear in passages attributed to various redactional layers, and are raised by a variety of figures (the narrator, God, the characters). Through their very appearance, the Exodus allusions contribute to the overall unity of the text. It is proposed that these references serve several different functions: to heighten the importance of the United Kingdom and its link to the Exodus; to abet the assessment of the characters of Solomon and Jeroboam, including the reversal of the assessment concerning them; to underscore the debt of fealty to God, and the justification of the punishment meted out against the sinners. Conversely, they highlight the commitment of God to his people, leading to their pardon.

In Chapter 7 v. 23 the ‘molten sea’, a large basin containing water in which the priests washed their hands and feet before performing the rites, is described. The verse states (in the A.V.)

Aubade, and: Home, and: Seeing Pittsburgh, and: Fathers And Sons

AUBADE / Robert Gibb This morning, the 18th of June, I wake in the light of heaven Annibale Carracci hung on the ceiling Of the Farnese Gallery. The day flares like copper From the leaves of the beech, The wind-chimes bright as apples In the clear, burnished Italian air. Perhaps it is only an old grammar I am beginning, again, to hear, The chance flurries of Vivaldi, Their complexity of simple delight, But somehow it does not seem strange To find the 17th century Flourishing here in Pennsylvania, Early mornings late in the spring. All night I have been dreaming Of the sadness of gloves, of skins In which the body is missing, Like trying to remember home. Now I see once more How the body comes back like the world Waking through all five senses And the ones beyond. Every day my father woke to a glare Like water breaking across his eyes, Bathed in the cold dawn of Pittsburgh, And walked away uphill. No music, No squares of sunshine unhinging themselves Like whole piazzas of heaven From the ceilings of Rome. Only the trolley Swaying beneath its grid of sky, 26 · The Missouri Review The pigeons in Pittsburgh Ringed and colored as oil slicks. Down in the garden I watch the mockingbird That sang by my window last night. His breast soft and sfumatoed, Wings half out, he hops down a row Of bean poles, as if in love With such intervals of distance and light And the way he moves among them, The way this morning Even my father walks with trumpets Clear to the top of the hill.

It is ham steak Or cabbage, and my father Looks up from his plate, And the woman who dresses us both Cuts into the meal Of leather and bone And in a voice hard as her fingers Says, "Your dinner's in the oven getting cold." Home is where you wonder What went wrong. Where you got over The fear of dying, the fear Of being left alive. Where your father wept at meals, And the woman wept in her garden Among the weeds, the roses Which ripped into bloom Like rags About their wounds. The house was grey And the streets The color of light falling From the First Book of Kings, The color of the river Being freighted past the mills Where grey was made, Where it poured From the smokestacks, Falling upon you Until no matter where you were Everywhere was home. 28 · The Missouri Review Robert Gibb SEEING PITTSBURGH / Robert Gibb Is what it's called.

The forests of Jordan

The most famous forests of the Levant are, of course, the magnificent cedar stands of Lebanon, and throughout history documentary sources testify to the importance of this timber for constructional purposes. In the first book of Kings, it is recounted how Solomon commanded Hiram, King of Tyre, to "hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon" for the building of his Temple. Other areas of forest in the Levant are, however, less well known historically but still remain of vital importance to the local way of life. Such areas are to be found in the highlands of eastem Jordan in the biblical provinces of Gilead and Edom. Here, discontinuous areas of natural forest are located in the catchments of the wadis flowing into the main rift valley of the River Jordan. Studies of the land resources, especially the forests, of eastern Jordan have been intensified since the Kingdom became independent in 1948. In particular, the need to compile forest inventories has been recognised and such programmes have been carried out with the co-operation of the United Nations and other development agencies. The earliest of the detailed reports is the Range Classification Survey of 1956 (Hunting Technical Services Ltd.), produced by the then Department for Range and Water Resources of the Jordanian Government. In this a detailed classification of the land systems of the country was outlined largely as the result of aerial photograph analysis. Although a somewhat general survey, it does possess the very great merit of covering the whole of eastern Jordan. Another report published later in the same year was the Ecological Survey carried out by Kasapligil as part of a F.A.O. Tech-

Pedantic Timetabling in 3Rd Book of Reigns

yy section 1) of the Books of Reigns is, textually speaking, very obscure. In 1907 THACKERAY wrote 2); The three remaining portions (i.e. of the Books of Reigns), so far as my investigations have gone, appear to be homogeneous wholes, that is to say, they are the work of three distinct translators. Possibly an exception should be made in the case of yy, where two hands may have been at work.... As to yy, it is impossible to speak very definitely. text has been so much interpolated that it is difficult to tell what the original version was like. It was probably considerably shorter than our First Book of Kings, while, on the other hand, the translator was not unwilling to paraphrase and to amplify the narrative (especially when dealing with the story of Solomon in all his glory) by information derived from other sources. Such liberties seem to indicate that

Further Parallels to the ‘Hadrianum' from St. Gregory the Great's Commentary on the First Book of Kings

A previous study entitled ‘Liturgical Prayers of Pope Gregory I’ sought to establish links between some 80 prayer formulae of the Hadrianum and the recognized authentic works of Saint Gregory the Great. That study, begun and completed several years ago, did not take into account — unfortunately as now appears — works about which there had been controversy in the past and whose Gregorian authenticity was not unanimously accepted. For this reason no parallel texts were given from the Commentary on the First Book of Kings. But Dom P. Verbraken has recently shown in two convincing articles that hesitations concerning St. Gregory's authorship of the Commentary are not justified. Even though the diffusion of this work in the Middle Ages was a very restricted one, there can be no real doubt that it was written by St. Gregory himself. This conclusion was by itself a sufficient stimulus to set about analyzing the Commentary on Kings with a continual eye on the text of the Hadrianum, and the result has not been unrewarding: a new set of parallels can be added to those already published in the previous article, and in addition six new prayers inserted in the list. The very fact that such loca parallela can be found in the Commentary would seem in itself a further proof of the Gregorian authenticity of this work. A few texts have also been taken from the beginning of the Commentary on the Canticle of Canticles, also attributed to St. Gregory.
