    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • Evolution of Ancient Israel's Politics
    Evolution of Ancient Israel’s Politics Tribes, Monarchies, and Foreign Empires Three Significant Eras • In his writings on the Politics of Ancient Israel sourced from the U of A website, Norman Gottwald suggests ancient Israel moved through three main ‘zones’ (or eras) of political structure. • Tribal Era (1,200 BCE – 1,000 BCE) • Monarchic Era (1,000 BCE – 586 BCE) • Colonial Era (586 BCE – 135 CE) • Brief revival of the monarchy under the Hasmonean Dynasty, 140 - 63 B.C.E • He notes that these eras did not totally displace one another, but overlapped and aspects of each period can be seen in future eras. - https://bibleinterp.arizona.edu/articles/2001/politics Tribal Era (1,200 BCE – 1,000 BCE) • Jacob (renamed Israel) had 12 sons known for 12 tribes of Israel. • No tribe for Joseph but tribes for his sons Ephraim and Manasseh • Tribe of Levi owned no property. They were the Priestly tribe supported by the other tribes. • “The Lord said to Aaron (Levite), ‘You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites.” Numbers 18:20 From Tribes to Nation-building • In Ancient Israel’s history up to the Exodus, leadership was Tribal. • Leadership within the tribe was inherited similarly to everything else, emphasis on the oldest living son. • Beginning with the Exodus, we have our first example of ‘national unity’. Moses was God’s chosen leader to bring the Hebrew people out of slavery to the Holy Land, where they are referenced as Israelites.

  • The Synchronisms of the Hebrew Kings- a Re-Evaluation : I1
    THE SYNCHRONISMS OF THE HEBREW KINGS- A RE-EVALUATION : I1 EDWIN R. THIELE Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan Another period of Hebrew history that has provided serious chronological perplexities is the century covering the reigns of Athaliah to Azariah in Judah and Jehu to Pekahiah in Israel. The reigns of this period are as follows : Israel Athaliah 7 years Jehu 28 years Joash 40 years Jehoahaz 17 years Amaziah 29 years Jehoash 16 years Azariah 52 years Jeroboam I1 41 years Total I 28 years Zachariah 6 months Shallum I month Menahem 10 years Pekahiah 2 years Total I 14 years, 7 months Since Athaliah and Jehu began their reigns simultaneously, and since Pekahiah terminated his reign in the fifty-second and last year of Azariah (z Ki 15 : 27)) the totals of Israel and Judah for this period should be identical, but we notice that there is an excess of approximately 13 years in Judah over Israel. From Assyrian sources the length of this period can be fixed at about a century, for it was in 841 B.C. that Jehu paid tribute to Shalmaneser 111, and it was during the great The first pad of this article was published in A USS, I (1963) 121-138. SYNCHRONISMS OF THE HEBREW KINGS I21 campaign of Tiglath-pileser I11 against the Westland in 743-738 B.C. that Azariah and Menahem are mentioned in the Assyrian records. Noticing the seeming discrepancies between Hebrew and Assyrian history for this period, Albright has proposed the following solution for Judah: "The excess of some 24 years can be eliminated entirely by disregarding the total reigns attributed to the kings of Judah and basing our revised estimates of their reigns solely on the synchronisms with Israel (which throughout contradict the regnal totals of the kings of Judah) ." Thus by a reduction of the reign of Athaliah from 7 years to 6, of Joash from 40 to 38, of Amaziah from 29 to 18, and Azariah from 52 to 42, Albright endeavors to bring the chronology of Judah into line with that of Assyria.

  • Jeroboam II Jeroboam, Son of Joash, Was Israel's Most Successful King
    Jeroboam II Jeroboam, son of Joash, was Israel’s most successful king since Solomon, expanding Israelite control into the Transjordan and north into Aramean territory (2 Kgs 14:23–29). His 41-year reign was characterized by unprecedented peace and economic prosperity. Jeroboam’s success was largely the result of a temporary power vacuum in the ancient Near East that allowed both Israel and Judah to assert more control over the region. Aram, also called Syria, was Israel’s main enemy through the late ninth century BC. By the time of Jeroboam, Aram had been weakened by conflicts with Assyria. As a result, Jeroboam was able to conquer territory formerly under the control of Aram, such as Damascus, Hamath, and the Transjordan. The Assyrian Empire didn’t oppose this expansion until the end of Jeroboam’s reign. In the early eighth century BC, Assyrian power waned because of internal conflicts over succession and external threats from north of Mesopotamia; as a result, they paid little attention to the affairs of Syria-Palestine. Egypt was also weak during this time, consumed by civil war. Barry, J. D., Mangum, D., Brown, D. R., Heiser, M. S., Custis, M., Ritzema, E., … Bomar, D. (2012, 2016). Faithlife Study Bible (Ho 1:1).

The valley of Tirzah (Wadi Farah) Brief history Tirzah was originally a Canaanite city whose king was overthrown by Joshua (Josh. 12:24). 500 years later it became the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel from the time of Jeroboam to Omri who after six years moved the capital from Tirzah to Samaria. During the time of king Jeroboam Tirzah is mentioned as the place where Abijah, the son and heir of Jeroboam, died as a result of illness – a merciful act by Yahweh as he was of a different ilk to his apostate father “who made Israel to sin”. Similarly, Baasha the third king of the newly founded northern kingdom of Israel brought disaster to his people by rejecting God's ways, following in the steps of Jeroboam.

Omri, Commander of the Army, Begins Sole Reign of Israel (880n/880t BC) 1 Kings 16:23–24 23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel and reigned twelve years; he reigned six years at Tirzah. 24 He bought the hill Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and named the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill. The Death of Omri (874n BC) 1 Kings 16:25–28 25 Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him. 26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and in his sins which he made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel with their idols. 27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did and his might which he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 28 So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.
