Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah. And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman. Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.-Judges 11:1-3***Jephthah the Gileadite was an Israelite from the tribe of Manasseh, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, Joseph and Asenath's firstborn son Manasseh, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son, Manasseh's son Machir, and Machir's son Gilead. The Ammonites descended from Abraham and Sarah's nephew Lot and Lot's oldest daughter, and their son Benammi. When the sons born to Gilead and his wife were older, Jephthah was kicked out from the presence of his father's people in Canaan, the Promised Land. A group of men from Tob attached themselves to Jephthah. When the Ammonites were attacking the Israelites, the elders went to bring Jephthah back to them. Approximately 50 years after Jephthah was a judge leading the Israelites to victory, Saul became the 1st king to rule over the Israelites in the Promised Land. Saul was an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Saul disobeyed the commands of the Lord God. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge, to anoint David to reign as king. Samuel was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Levi. David was an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Sometime after David was anointed, David began to serve as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul while returning home and working as a shepherd. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, David remained with Saul full-time. Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant with David. The Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry. Saul became afraid of David, and wanted to kill David, and sent David to get killed on the field, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal married David and helped David escape from their home. When David was in a cave in Adullam, approximately 400 men in emotional and financial distress joined David, and 200 other men joined David. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the men with David became mighty men of valor. After Jonathan and his brothers Abinadab and Malchishua were killed by the Philistines, and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battlefield, men from the tribe of Judah anointed David, and 30-year-old David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. Sometime after Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders went to David and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed David, and 37 1/2-year-old David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. During David's reign, the descendants of the Tobites who fought alongside Jephthah aligned with a group of Ammonites and they fought against David. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd son 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. 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. 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. In Nazareth in Galilee, a group of Israelites threw Jesus out of town.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 26:28-34, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-11:40, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 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 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
