And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara: And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went abroad and set forth. Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden. And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed. And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again. And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemai, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.-Acts 21:1-9***The apostle Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin.  When Paul was journeying towards Jerusalem, Paul and those with him went to the home of Philip, 1 of the 7 Israelite men appointed to the ministry of service for Israelite widows. Philip was the father of at least 4 daughters. Paul and Philip believed Jesus, who was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven years earlier, to be the Christ, the Son of God. Over 1,400 years before Paul and others were in Philip's home, Aaron and his younger brother Moses were born into the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Zelophehad was descended from Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's firstborn son Manasseh, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Aaron, Moses and Zelophehad lived when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Egypt and Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea and into the desert wilderness of Shur.  Zelophehad was not involved when Korah and those with Korah rebelled against Moses and Aaron. Sometime after Zelophehad died, Zelophehad's 5 daughters spoke to Moses and the Israelite leaders regarding their father's portion of Canaan, the Promised Land, the the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God agreed with the request made by Zelophehad's daughters. Over 300 years after Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, Jephthah, from the tribe of Manasseh, was the judge over the Israelites and led the Israelites to defeat the Ammonites. Afterwards, Jephthah's only child, his daughter, told Jephthah that she willingly accepted the fate of the vow that Jephthah made before engaging in the battle against the Ammonites. Samuel, the priest and prophet from the tribe of Levi, was the last judge established by the Lord God to lead the Israelites. Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, was the 1st king to rule the Israelites in the Promised Land. Rehoboam, the son born to King 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. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule 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 conquered,  Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) became the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Tiglath-pileser, 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 more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives, mother, and an ancestor of Mordecai, 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. Approximately 90 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Nehemiah was supervising the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem. Shallum and his daughters helped rebuild the wall destroyed by the Babylonians. Esther (Hadassah), an orphan, was Mordecai's cousin and was under Mordecai's care. After Esther became the wife of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), ruler of the Persian Empire, Mordecai learned of a plot by Haman to have all of the Israelites (Hebrews/Jews) throughout the Persian Empire killed. Thus, Mordecai sent a message to Esther, and Esther endangered her life to speak to Ahasuerus and save the Israelites. Over 400 years after Haman was hanged and Purim began, Jesus the Christ 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 and Leah's 4th born son Judah, the birth tribe of Solomon, Rehoboam and all of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, 36:1-13, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 17:1-18, 23:1-24:33, Judges, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:14-19, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Nehemiah 1:1-3:32, Esther, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-9:31, 11:19-28:31
