  • “King Selection” 1 Kings 1-2 January 8, 2017 INTRODUCTION: As The
    “King Selection” 1 Kings 1-2 January 8, 2017 INTRODUCTION: As the book of Kings opens, Israel is at a time of uncertainty. The great King David is obviously fading and not long for this life. That’s the point of the opening verses of the book. In the words of one commentary, David is old and cold. His servants try covering him with more clothes, but he is still cold. Then they have another idea. They want to add to his harem the most beautiful woman they can find. Something like a beauty pageant is held, and a woman by the name of Abishag is selected as the most beautiful young woman of the nation. They reason that if she can’t get his blood flowing again, nothing can. But it doesn’t work, for we read that “the king knew her not,” a common euphemism in the Scriptures for sexual intimacy. So David has declined to the point that everyone knows his death is not far away. But a successor has not been named. God had already declared through Nathan the prophet that a son of David would sit on his throne (2 Sam. 7:12), but it was not revealed exactly which son it would be. Two sons compete for the crown in these first two chapters, Adonijah and Solomon. One is the wrong king and the other God’s anointed. As is the case with us, everything depends on having the right king. To make a wrong choice leads to catastrophic results, while making the right choice leads to the fulfillment of our strongest and best longings.

  • (Jsr) David Rosen, Findings O
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK x UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -v- 11 Cr. 300 (JSR) DAVID ROSEN, FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Defendant. x JED S. RAKOFF, U.S.D.J. This is a sad, even tragic case, as it reveals how a widely-admired hospital administrator who diligently sought to better the health care of impoverished communities nonetheless chose to entangle himself in the bribing of state legislators. Defendant David Rosen stands charged with engaging in a corrupt scheme to bribe three New York legislators - former New York State Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio, New York State Assemblyman William Boyland, Jr., and New York State Senator Carl Kruger - in order to benefit the MediSys Health Network ("MediSys") , of which Rosen was the Chief Executive Officer for over three decades. Specifically, the Superseding Indictment ("Indictment") charges Rosen with funneling nearly $600,000 of MediSys' funds into Seminerio and Boyland, Jr.'s pockets by means of sham consulting contracts, and directing lucrative MediSys contracts to entities in which Seminerio and Kruger had a financial interest. In exchange for these bribes, according to the Indictment, Seminerio, Boyland, Jr., and Kruger each agreed to exploit their positions as elected state legislators to take official acts benefitting Medisys as specific opportunities to do so arose. The matter was tried before this Court a few weeks ago. Having now carefully reviewed all of the evidence, including the in-court testimony of twenty-nine witnesses and the several hundred exhibits that were received in evidence at trial, the Court hereby concludes, based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth below, that David Rosen is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all remaining Counts of the Indictment of which he is charged.

The first one involves a people group called the Gibeonites. Back in the time of Joshua, just after Jericho had been destroyed, the Canannites living in the city of Gibeon decided that they would try to avoid being exterminated. They had heard the rumor that the God of the Israelites had told his people to totally wipe out everyone living in the land of Canaan. They believed this would come true and they were very afraid. They decided to try to trick Joshua into making a peace treaty with them. The messengers they sent to Joshua were wearing old clothes and carrying dry and moldy food. JOSHUA: Who are you and where do you come from? GIBEONITE 1: We have come from a distant land. When we started our journey our clothes were new and our food was fresh. You can see how worn out and old they are now. That is because we have been traveling so long to get here. However, we have heard stories about all the things your God has done for you.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

  • The Threat of Adonijah
    The Threat of Adonijah by Steven P. Wickstrom all Scriptures quoted from the NASB 1 Kings 2:10-25 Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David.(v.10) The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years he reigned in Hebron and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.(v.11) And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.(v.12) Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, “Do you come peacefully?” And he said, “Peacefully.”(v.13) Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” And she said, “Speak.”(v.14) So he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother’s, for it was his from the Lord.(v.15) “Now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me.” And she said to him, “Speak.”(v.16) Then he said, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife.”(v.17) Bathsheba said, “Very well; I will speak to the king for you.(v.18) So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.(v.19) Then she said, “I am making one small request of you; do not refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”(v.20) So she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your

  • Jerusalem Under David and Solomon
    JERUSALEM UNDER DAVID AND SOLOMON. WE have seen that the J ebusite fortress, which David took and called David's-Burgh-our versions mislead by their translation : City of David-lay on the Eastern Hill, south of and below the site of the later Tempi~, and just above Gil;ton, the present well of our Lady Mary. To this conclusion we seem shut up by the Biblical evidence ; and it is supported by the topography. But for the questions to which we now proceed the evidence is more precarious. What was the size of the Jebusite town around the Stronghold? And how much did David add to it? To these questions we are not able to find definite answers, in either the topography, the archaeology or the Biblical data. In fact there is almost no archaeological evidence in Jerusalem itself. The Biblical references are meagre and the topographical data are inconclusive. 1.-THE JEBUSITE TowN. That a Jebusite township existed around or beside the stronghold ~ion is as certain as that from remote times it was called Jerusalem. More probably than not it lay on the same Eastern Hill as the Stronghold, covering the rest of Ophel down to what was afterwards known as Siloam-more probably, I say, for its people would thus secure the shelter of the Stronghold and be near to the spring of Gil;ton. Nor does the narrative of David's capture of ~ion introduce or imply anything else. Accord­ ing to this David ma.rched:from Hebron to Jerusalem FEBRUARY, ,1905. 6 VOL. XI.
