There are many things in common between the USA and Israel. An example would be that the USA’s Life expectancy at birth is 79.8 years, while Israel's Life expectancy at birth is 82.4. I think that number is close enough for them to be similar. Another example would be the Infant mortality rate. The USA’s Infant mortality rate is 5.8/1000, while Israel’s Infant mortality rate is 3.5/1000. Also, another example would be the country's Literacy Rate. The USA’s literacy rate is 99%, while Israel’s is 97.8%. The countries also have some differences, like the countries GDP Per Capita. The USA’s is $57,000, but Israel’s is $35,200. Another example of difference would be the country's Population Between Poverty Line. The USA’s PBPL

Israel and Judah survived the collapse of the united monarchy for 50 years after it fell. This was due mostly to the fact that there was no state that had achieved dominance around them (cite book pg. 158). After Omri was able to reform his alliance with Phoenicia Israel’s relations with Judah changed for the better. To symbolize the union between the two kingdoms, Ahab’s daughter was married to Jehoram of

Around 926 b.c., the kingdom of Israel split in two. Up to that point, all twelve tribes of Israel (plus the priestly tribe of Levi) had been united under the monarchies of Saul, David, and Solomon. But when Solomon’s son Rehoboam ascended to the throne, the ten Northern tribes rebelled and seceded from the union. This left only two tribes—Judah and Benjamin (plus much of Levi)—under the control of the king in Jerusalem. From that time on, the tribes were divided into two nations, which came to be called the House of Israel (the Northern ten tribes) and the House of Judah (the Southern two tribes).

There are many different themes common on the subject of Kingship in Israel that are highlighted throughout scholarly analysis of the subject. Sages of the time, thought to have written Proverbs, believed that the king was a person way beyond the normal run of things. This piece from “Proverbs 30:29-31” is a prime example:

The ancient Israelite and Mesopotamian cultures often interacted and influenced each other, as a result they share some similarities in their laws and stories which we can still read today. One of the times they interacted was what we call today, the Babylonian captivity. In 586 BCE the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, defeated the Israelites, destroyed their homes and temple, and brought ten thousand Israelite captives into Babylon. It was there in Babylon the Israelites spent almost fifty years in captivity, it was also there that the bible was first written down by the Israelites. During that time the Israelites and Babylonians probably shared storys because both cultures have storys that are very similar.

Throughout the Old Testament, there are many examples of great kings that can be found. However, two of the greatest and most blessed Kings were King David and his son, King Solomon. Here, we will compare the lives and reigns of both kings by reviewing their faith, their triumphs, and their downfalls.

The kingdom of Israel was divided into two kingdoms. The northern kingdom of Israel was made up of ten tribes not including Judah and Benjamin. The northern kingdom was known as Israel and the southern kingdom was known as Judah. King Omri, Ahab’s father founded Samaria, the capital of Israel. It survived approximately up until 722 BC when the Assyrians destroyed it.

Palestinians and Israelis fight over Jerusalem, both wanting the holy site as their capital. The U.N. split Palestine asunder, and the adjoining Arab states declared war on the new country. After months of vehement brawling, Israel and her contiguous Arab states acquiesced ceasing the war. Palestine and Israel differ in multifarious ways. Israel has attained land throughout years and has been identified as a country since 1948, whereas Palestine lives in Gaza Strip and West Bank forthwith, and does not classify as an autonomous country. Palestine’s common language is Arabic, however, Israelis speak Hebrew commonly. Also, they practice different religions, Palestinians practice the Islamic religion, while Israelis practice Judaism. This clash

1.What had happened earlier in Israel’s history at this place?  How might that explain why Elijah went there?  Why do you think it took forty days and nights for Elijah to reach Horeb?

This is the most crucial time for South Kingdom. Previous important events and kings must be highlighted in leading up to 2 Kings 19:15-19. 2 Kings 18:1 begins that Hezekiah becomes King over Judah when Hoshea, the King of Israel over Israel for three years. Hezekiah is the son of Ahaz, the previous King of Judah who was the eleventh King of Judah. (2 Kgs 16:1) He reigns from 735 to 715 B.C. Hezekiah reigns Judah for twenty nine years in Jerusalem. (2 Kgs 18:2) He reigns from 715-681 B.C. Hoshea, the King of Israel is the last king of Israel. He reigns from 732-722 B.C. And in the seventh year of his Hoshea’s reign, King of Assyria comes and lays a siege on Samaria and three years later, which is in the ninth year of Hoshea, Israel is

The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture. (Zimmerman 1) This can also lead to one concluding that culture changes as civilization is changed and advancements occur. I am culturally Arab. Specifically from around Jerusalem and many other farmer civilations. The cuisine, historical significance of the area, and it’s religions are some of the most distinct differences the region has culturally.

Following the United Monarchy separating into two different nations the Kingdom of Israel, sometimes referred to as Samaria, existed with nineteen kings for two-hundred and seven years from 928 to 721BC. Consisting of ten of the twelve tribes - Reuben, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Ash, Ephraim and Manasseh. The Kingdom of Israel became weakened after the breakup of the United Monarchy which the Egyptians take advantage of in 925BC when they invaded and made the Kingdom of Israel a vassal nation of Egypt followed by the Kingdom of Ammon which gains its independence from the Kingdom of Israel. Jeroboam I the first king of the Kingdom of Israel from 928 to 907BC, created worship centers in the cities of Bethel and Dan and encouraged the people to return to their worshipping of pagan deities such as El, Asherah, Baal and Dagan from the Canaanite Pantheon.

Israel gained independence in 1948, and its vibrant democracy remains unique in the region. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reelected in March 2015, leads a coalition government of right-leaning and religious parties. Israel has a modern market economy with a thriving high-technology sector that attracts considerable foreign investment. The recent discovery of large offshore natural gas deposits has improved both its energy security and its balance-of-payments prospects. Despite the 2006 war against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the 2008–2009, 2012, and 2014 wars against Hamas in Gaza, as well as the constant threat of terrorism, Israel’s economy is fundamentally sound and dynamic

Grabbe (2007, P.54) conducted a study under the title “The Kingdom of Israel From Omri To The Fall Of Samaria: If We Only Had the Bible...” According the author there was a heated debate on whether the Bible is a problematic source of information about the settlement of central Palestine. The debate evolved to focus on the period of the first part of the monarchy the early period of ‘nationhood’ (Grabbe, p. 54). Consequently, the author conducted a study with four objectives and a main objective of identifying ways of assessing Biblical stories that cannot be checked with supplementary sources of information. The author arrived at five main conclusions, which indicated that the Bible provides both accurate and misleading information on the topic in question. This paper is an objective critique to Grabbe’s (2007) publication because it analyzes the main debate, methods used, and evidence provided by the author.
