Plain and Simple

Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.) Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them. But the king spare Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest. And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.-2 Samuel 21:1-11***Saul was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin and lived in Gibeah in the Promised Land. Over 300 years before Samuel the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi anointed Saul to reign as king, the Israelites were being led by Moses, and Moses was being led by the Lord God. When Moses was proclaiming his last messages to the Israelites, Moses described the blessings that would occur if the Israelites obeyed the voice of the Lord God and the curses, including drought, that would occur if the Israelites did not obey the voice of the Lord God. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, Canaan, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Shortly thereafter, Joshua and the Israelites defeated the inhabitants of Jericho and Ai, according to the commands of the Lord God. The Gibeonites were Hivites living in Gibeon. The Hivites, Amorites and Canaanites were descendants of Canaan, and Canaan was born to Ham, and Ham was born to Noah the ark builder. The Israelites descended from Noah's son Shem, and Shem's son Arphaxad. The Canaanites and Amorites were 2 of the largest idolatrous groups throughout Canaan. In the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, the idol worshiping inhabitants of Canaan are sometimes identified as Canaanites or Amorites, despite their individual distinctions. When the Gibeonites learned that the Israelites conquered Jericho and Ai, they tricked Joshua into making a peace treaty with them, and the Israelite leaders made a vow to the Gibeonites. After the Israelite leaders realized they had been deceived, they developed a plan, and Joshua pronounced the terms of the plan to the Gibeonites. Shortly thereafter, 5 Amorite kings united to defeat the Gibeonites, and the Gibeonites sought help from Joshua. The Lord God spoke to Joshua and the Lord God caused the Israelites to defeat the 5 kings. Over 300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the Israelites were being led by Samuel, and Samuel anointed Saul to reign, according to the command of the Lord God. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David, from the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, to reign as king. Years before David began to reign, David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine. Saul's son Jonathan made a covenant with David. The Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry and became afraid of David, and wanted to kill David, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal was married to David and helped David escape from their home. Afterwards, Saul arranged for Michal to marry Palti (Phalti/Paltiel/Phaltiel), and David became married to Abigail and Ahinoam. Meanwhile, Saul killed some Gibeonites, although the details are not revealed in the Holy Bible. On the battlefield, the Philistines killed Jonathan and his brothers Malchishua and Abinadab (Ishui?), and Saul killed himself. Men from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David and David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. When Ishbosheth asked his relative and army commander Abner an accusatory question involving Rizpah, who had been Saul's concubine, Abner left Ishbosheth's side and went to David, and David demanded that Michal be bought to him. Sometime after Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders went to David and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed 37-year-old David and David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. While reigning, David went with a multitude of Israelites to retrieve the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the home of Obed-edom, wherein the ark had been for 3 months after the ark had been in the home of Abinadab in Kirjath-jearim for 20 years. As the Levites were bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, according to the commands that the Lord God gave Moses and Moses' older brother Aaron, and David was entering the City of David, Michal saw David leaping and dancing before the Lord God. After the ark of the covenant of the Lord was placed in a specific tent, and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and blessed the Israelites, and gave them bread and cake, David went home. Michal spoke words to David, and David spoke words to Michal, and there was a distance between them, and Michal remained childless. The 5 sons under Michal's care were the sons born to Michal's older sister Merab and Merab's husband Adriel the Meholathite. Adriel was an Israelite, born to Barzillai the Meholathite, an Israelite probably from Abel-Meholah (Meholah). Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.

Reference Scripture:

So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them. And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.-1 Samuel 14:47-48

And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.-2 Samuel 4:4

You Reign

Events that occurred after King Saul and

 3 of his sons were dead, and David began

 to reign only over the tribe of Judah:

But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.-2 Samuel 2:8-11***King Saul was married to at least 1 wife, Ahinoam, and was in a relationship with at least 1 concubine, Rizpah, and was the father of at least 8 children, Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadad (Ishui?), Ishbosheth (Eshbaal), Armoni, Mephibosheth, Merab, and Michal. At least twice after Saul was anointed and became the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God tore the kingdom from Saul and sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge who had anointed Saul, to anoint David to reign as king. Initially, David served as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, Saul kept David in his service full time, and David and Jonathan made a covenant, and the Israelite woman sang of David higher than they sang of Saul. Saul was angry, and became afraid of David, and tried to kill David, and sent David on missions to get killed, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul planned for Merab to become David's wife. However, Michal became David's wife, and helped David escape from their home. While David was on the run, Saul arranged a marriage between Michal and Palti (Phalti/Phaltiel/Paltiel), and David became the husband of  Abigail the widow and Ahinoam from Jezreel. Jezreel was in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah, David's birth tribe, the tribe of Israelites descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. After Jonathan, Malchishua and Abinadab were killed by the Philistines, and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battlefield, men from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David and David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's cousin and army commander Abner placed Ishbosheth as king over the other Israelite tribes. The tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, and Zebulun descended from the other sons born to Jacob and Leah. The tribes of Dan and Naphtali descended from the sons born to Jacob and maidservant Bilhah. The tribes of Gad and Asher descended from the sons born to Jacob and maidservant Zilpah. The tribe of Benjamin, the birth tribe of Saul, Abner and their family, descended from the 2nd and last son born to Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel. The tribe of Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph became the tribe of Manasseh and the tribe of Ephraim after Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim to be his own sons. Mahanaim and Gilead were places on the other side of the Jordan River, the side that the Israelites had wandered through during their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Sometime after Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders went to David and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed 37-year-old David and David began to reign over all of the Israelite tribes. Over 900 years after 70-year-old David died and his body was buried in the City of David, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, approximately 6 miles from the City of David, into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Passing Through

Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,

with his disciples after Jesus

commanded a spirit to come

 out of a man's son:

And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying and were afraid to ask him.-Mark 9:30-32***King Saul and his son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) and their relative Abner the army commander were Israelites from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. David was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Saul was the 1st king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Shortly after Saul's self-inflicted death on the battlefield, David reigned as king only over the tribe of Judah. Abner placed Ishbosheth as king over the other Israelite tribes. While reigning, Ishbosheth asked Abner an accusatory question. When Abner responded and questioned Ishbosheth, Ishoboshet did not answer and was afraid of Abner. Sometime after Abner was killed and Ishbosheth was killed, David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. The divinely inspired  Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal psalms that David wrote about the Lord God and David's own fear fears, thoughts, and words. Over 900 years after 70-year-old David died, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. On the 8th day after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was circumcised according to the covenant of circumcision that the Lord God gave Abraham when Abraham was 99 years old. During the 12th year after Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary found Jess in Jerusalem, in the temple of the Lord, listening, asking, understanding, and answering. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

When Jesus came into the coats of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?-Matthew 16:13

Like First King, Like Twelfth King

King Jehoash, the 12th king to reign over

all of the Israelites in the northern

nation of Israel in the Promised Land

In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein. And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.-2 Kings 13:10-13***Jeroboam was born to Nebat and Zeruah. Rehoboam was born to King Solomon and Naamah. After Solomon reigned 40 years over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land and died, Rehoboam became the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Shechem served as the royal city and Jeroboam was the 1st king to reign. Jeroboam thought he would be killed if the Israelites went to offer sacrifices in Jerusalem at the temple of the Lord and their loyalty returned to Rehoboam. After seeking advice, Jeroboam established a system of idolatry in the northern nation that included 2 golden calves and a selection of random people to serve as priests. Jeroboam's son Nadab was the 2nd king to rule the northern nation, and Tirzah served as the royal city. Baasha killed Nadab and became the 3rd king to rule the northern nation. Baasha's son Elah was the 4th king. Zimri killed Elah and became the 5th king to rule the northern nation. However, the Israelites with army commander Omri proclaimed Omri to be king, and they went with Omri to Tirzah. On the 7th of Zimri's reign, he set the palace on fire, stayed inside and died. Half of the Israelites in the northern nation recognized Omri as king, and the other half recognized Tibni. After Tibni's death at least 4 years later, Omri became the 6th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, and Samaria became the final royal city. Omri's son Ahab was the 7th king to reign. Ahaziah, the son born to Ahab and his wife Jezebel, a Zidonian (Sidonian) princess, was the 7th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Ahab and Jezebel's son Jehoram (Joram) was the 8th king. After Elisha the prophet sent a younger prophet to anoint army commander Jehu to reign, and Jehu killed Jehoram, and Jezebel was killed, and over 100 others related or involved with Ahab and his family were killed, Jehu became the 10th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Jehu's son Jehoahaz was the 11th king, and Jehoahaz's son Jehoash (Joash) was the 12th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Meanwhile, Joash (Jehoash), the son born to Judah's 6th ruler King Ahaziah and his wife Zibiah, was king in Judah. After Joash was killed during the 41st year of his reign, Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan became the 8th king to rule Judah. Less than 80 years after Joash's son Jeroboam became the 13th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Less than 140 years after Samaria was concerned, Amaziah's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Zedekiah (Mattaniah) became the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after King Cyrus, ruler of the Persian Empire, permitted Israelites to return to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the tribe of Solomon and his descendants, all of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Before Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, and after Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven less than 33 1/2 years after he was born, the Roman Empire was ruling the land whereupon the kingdoms of the Israelites previously stood.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, 

Reference Scriptures:

And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.-2 Kings 10:30

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.-2 Kings 14:8...And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and cane to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits. And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.-2 Kings 14:13-14

Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.-2 Chronicles 25:17...And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.-2 Chronicles 25:23-24

Them, too

Events that occurred when the

Babylonians conquered Jerusalem:

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city. So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.-Jeremiah 52:24-27***Hamath was in Syria, located over 200 miles north of Jerusalem. During the reign of King David, the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, King Toi (Tou), ruler of Hamath, sent his son Joram (Hadoram) to Jerusalem to greet, salute and bless David and give David silver, gold, and brass (bronze) after David defeated King Hadadezer, ruler of Zobah, Syria. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. During Solomon's 40-year reign, Solomon established storage cities in Hamath. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. King Jehoash (Joash) was the 12th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, and his son Jeroboam was the 13th king to reign. During his 41-year reign, Jeroboam the son of Jehoash reclaimed Hamath and Damascus from the Syrians. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. During the 9th year of the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. The king of Assyria brought people from Hamath and other places conquered by the Assyrians to live throughout Samaria. Less than 130 years after Samaria was conquered, Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Jehoahaz became the 16th king to rule Judah. During the 3rd month of Jehoahaz's reign, Pharaoh Necho (Nechoh/Neco), ruler of Egypt, held Jehoahaz captive in Riblah in Hamath until he took Jehoahaz to Egypt and 23-year-old Jehoahaz died. Jehoahaz's brother Jehoiakim (Eliakim) was the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took at least 10,000 more Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. During the 11th year of the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah  (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. The Babylonians looted and burned the temple of the Lord, and chased and captured Zedekiah and his sons, and took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zedekiah, and Zedekiah's sons, and other nobles to Riblah. Seraiah and those taken captive with Seraiah were killed, and Zedekiah's sons and the other nobles were killed, and Zedekiah's eyesight was taken.

We Don't Even Know

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.-Mark 11:27-33***During the 80th year after Moses was born into the tribe of Levi to Amram and Jochebed, Moses and his older brother Aaron went from Midian to Egypt to speak to the Israelite elders and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, according to the commands of the Lord God. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and  Aaron led the Isralites, and those with them, away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, when Moses was the Lord God for 40 days and nights upon Mount Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses commands for the new priesthood. The Lord told Moses that only Aaron and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. The Lord God gave Moses commands for anointing Aaron and Aaron's sons, and described the garments and sacred items to be made for the priests and high priest, and began describing the duties of the priests and high priest. Aaron was the 1st high priest. Nadab and Abihu, the sons born to Aaron and his wife Elisheba, offered profane fire to the Lord God, and fire went out from the Lord God and devoured Nadab and Abihu, and Nadab and Abihu died. During the 40th year of the journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Moses, and Aaron, and Aaron and Elisheba's son Eleazer went upon Mount Hor, and 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried, according to the command of the Lord God. Eleazar became the high priest. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. After 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the Israelites were led by elders, judges, or their own minds. Samuel, from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the birth tribe of Amram, Jochebed, Aaron, Moses, and their descendants, was the last judge to lead the Israelites and worship the Lord God. Saul, from the tribe of Jacob's 12th and last son Benjamin, was the 1st king to rule over the Israelites in the Promised Land. David, from the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that scribes worked under the authority of the reigning king. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Less than 130 years after Samaria was conquered, Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Zedekiah (Mattaniah) became the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites, including the leaders of the priests. Zedekiah, and Zedekiah's sons, and Seraiah the chief priest were among the Israelites taken to Riblah, in Hamath, Syria. The Babylonians killed Zedekiah's sons and Seraiah, and removed Zedekiah's eyesight. Less than 70 years after Jerusalem was conquered, Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem. Over 450 years after Eliashib was high priest, and Seraiah's grandson Joshua was high priest, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to elderly Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his elderly wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. Annas was the high priest and his son-in-law Caiaphas was the high priest, and there were many chief priests and scribes. Before the Israelite kingdoms were conquered, the scribes worked under the authority of the kings. The elders and scribes and chief priests did not believe Jesus to be the Christ and wanted to kill Jesus. The chief priests were involved with Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and his betrayal of Jesus, and the chief priests, elders and scribes were involved with the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus the Pharisee prepared the body of Jesus for burial and placed the prepared body of Jesus in a tomb. On the 3rd day, Jesus was resurrected. During the 40 days after Jesus was resurrected, Jesus was seen by over 500 people, and Jesus returned to heaven. Meanwhile, the Roman Empire continued ruling the land whereupon the kingdoms of the Israelites previously stood.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 10:1-20, Numbers 3:1-51, 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah 39:1-52:34, Ezra, Nehemiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.-Luke 7:22...For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.-Luke 7:28

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?-Luke 20:1-2

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?-John 1:19...John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.-John 1:26-27
