Reconsidered and Unknown Bible Facts - February 1, 2015

News about King David - January 17, 2015

As I covered in the January 1, 2015 article, “Israel and Judah: 6. David’s Foreign Wars,” King David defeated Hadadezer, King of Zobah. A ruler of a neighboring realm in Syria named Toi (also spelled Tou in the King James Version), King of Hamath, had been at war with Hadadezer. A December 15, 2014 press release reported on recent research published by Professor Gershon Galil, Professor of Biblical Studies and Ancient History at the University of Haifa. Prof. Galil says new research mentions King Toi of Hamath.
 

Changing Borders, Changing Relations - January 1, 2015

God is constantly changing borders of peoples and nations (Acts 17:26). He does so in our present day. Changing borders destabilize everything within a region.

Chaos reigned and kingdoms formed new alliances to resist Israel’s growing dominance. This Commentary provides background for the article for January 2015, “Israel and Judah: 6. David’s Foreign Wars,” introduced by the “January 2015 Newsletter.”
