But on the plains near the Great Sea, a terrifying army of Philistines has mobilized to crush the Hebrew tribes once and for all. In the sun-drenched valleys and dark forests of the hill country, The year is BC. The fate of an entire Covenant of War rests on Covenant of War courage of a small band of Covenant of War known as the Mighty Men. In a land torn by conflict, depleted by drought and threatened by treachery, the horrors and heroism of the ancient battlefields come to life. Covenant Covenant of War War is the second book in the Lion of War series—the intense, gritty, and stylistic portrayal of the Mighty Men of Israel, a rag-tag band of warriors who came to King David in his most desperate hour and fought with him while he claimed the throne he was destined to fill.

May 16, Jim rated it really liked it Shelves:fiction. Once during the harvest, when David was at the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. David was staying in the stronghold at the time, and a Philistine detachment had occupied the town of Bethlehem. But he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the Lord. These are examples of the exploits of the Three. Such interesting and historical stories in the Old Testament books, such as 2 Samuel, add a flavor to Biblical history that leaves some wanting more and some wanting less. The theological issues raised as one reads through such books have been the source of controversy for many years and decades if not centuries. I was recently privileged to read the second volume of the series Covenant of War as part of the Amazon Vine review program and look forward to reading the other two. Covenant of War is set in the time frame laid out in the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel when a divided Israel was torn between Ishbosheth,a surviving son of the late King Saul who led the 10 Northern tribes, verses David, the new king as decreed by God through the Hebrew prophet Samuel, who led the 2 tribes of Benjamin and Judah. And it tells the story of a desperate attempt by David to bring peace to the nation and unite it under Covenant of War rule so that a unified Israel could focus on defeating the Philistines. In doing so, he has given us a very human and, at times, graphic presentation of David and his legendary warriors referred to as The Covenant of War and The Thirty. The book is rich in detail and does justice Covenant of War the Biblical element of faith, notably Covenant of War ancient Hebrew faith, in a manner that provides some insight into their mindset toward life, death, and war. I liked this book because it gave an understandable perspective to a portion of the Bible that is often left alone because the languages and views of that day. And while it is a fictionalized account of certain Biblical passages, I believe that it is an honest rendering of that period in human history. Warning contains graphic battlefield scenes and actions. I would not recommend it for persons under 16 years of age. Note: I received a copy of this book via the Amazon Vine review program in exchange for review of it. I was not required to write a positive review. Dec 30, Joy rated it really liked it Shelves: around-the-world-inbooks. Great book, and a great journey into historical Israel for my first Around the World in 80 Books challenge! The story continues to follow King David and his Mighty Men, and their battle to reclaim the land of Israel. Covenant is told from the perspective of Eleazar, one of David's Three elite warriors, Benaiah, another of Great book, and a great Covenant of War into historical Israel for my first Around the World in 80 Books challenge! Covenant is told from the perspective of Eleazar, one of David's Three elite warriors, Benaiah, another of David's Three and the focus of Day of Warand Ittai, an enemy Philistine officer. Covenant of War Covenant of War King David removed from the warrior he once was, grieving the loss of his best friend, Covenant of War, and enjoying the pleasures of Covenant of War harem. His lack Covenant of War discipline had seeped into his armies, and the men were quickly becoming unprepared for an attack. Which is exactly what happened when Ittai launched an invasion of the Valley of Elah. For anyone who thinks the Bible is boring, these novels paint a very non-boring picture of events. As King David and his men hold back the Philistines, and reclaim the Covenant of War, he is reminded of his first love, his first wife, Michal and Yahweh. The great warrior King, the Lion of Judah, was brought back to life, through repentance, forgiveness, humility and restoration. And Christians for generations are renewed by the life-giving words that King David writes throughout the Psalms. Feb 04, Bill Tillman rated it it was amazing Shelves: battlekindletheologyangelschristianfictionwarthrillerhistorical-fictionhistory. The first book, Day of War was fabulous and so far this book is even better. Okay now that I have Covenant of War it. What words describe valor? What phrase gives meaning to service? Dedication and sacrifice Covenant of War they truly definable? I answer a resounding yes to all three questions. Cliff Graham has reached an even higher plateau than he did in 'Day of War'. Some characters have died since the first installment in this five part series 'Lion of War'. Graham has entered into a agreement with director David L. Cunningham [Path to ], and producer Grant Curtis [Spider Man series] to generate multiple films from this series. Covenant of War starts out much like Day of War ended, A terrific battle between the northern kingdom and David's southern kingdom. However Abner is Covenant of War by Joab and Abishai because he killed the youngest brother Asahel through no fault Covenant of War his own. In Hebron both are placed under house arrest and their places in the army taken away. The action comes early and fast making this a real page turner with Benaiah and Gareb on a mission deep behind enemy lines. Whew once these two of the thirty escape with their lives there is no let up, David gets word that the Philistines are invading and must be stopped before they split the nation. With only men including David's 30 mighty men and almost no water a desperate mission is launched to stop them. The thirty split from the rest of the troops and head for Bethlehem to stop the Sword of Dagon an elite fighting unit from joining forces with the rest Covenant of War the Philistine forces. In less than 48 hours the enemy is defeated but at a tremendous cost. Eleazar single handed stands off nearly 50 of the best of the Philistine army. His hand actually becomes to his broken sword and must be soaked in hot oil overnight to loosen the muscles. Sep 04, Thomas Umstattd Jr. Yet another masterpiece from Cliff Graham. I remember reading about David's Mighty Men as Covenant of War kid and wanting to write a fictionalized version. Now I don't have to. Cliff nailed it.

Then a month ago I found the tablet, charged it up and there they were! Covenanter | Military Wiki | Fandom An illegal conventicle. Covenanters in a Glenpainting by Alexander Carse. The Covenanters were a Scottish Presbyterian movement that played an important part in the history of Scotlandand to a lesser extent that of England and Ireland, during the 17th century. Presbyterian denominations tracing their history to the Covenanters and often incorporating the name continue the ideas and traditions in Scotland and internationally. They derive their name from the term covenant after the covenant sworn by Israel in the Old Testament. The Covenanters are so named because in a series of bands or covenants they bound themselves to maintain the Presbyterian doctrine and policy as the sole form of religion of their country.

PREFACE. This book is a spontaneous growth, being without pre-meditation or original intention. A visit to Scotland was the embryo; out of this seed sprang a stereopticon lecture on "The Martyrs of Scotland;" the lecture developed into an illustrated serial which was published in the CHRISTIAN NATION; and the serial, at the request of many readers, developed into this volume. The book, therefore, was not originally contemplated; it is a providential growth, rather than a human conception; and we sincerely trust that it is one of God's eternal thoughts, blossoming in the sunlight of its own appointed time.

  • Chapter Two: a Lively
    CHAPTER TWO A Lively Boy THE skinny nine‐year‐old lay flat on top of the Black Rock, like a little pirate scanning the horizon for sails. Across the sparkling blueness of the Firth of Forth lay the Kingdom of Fife, but in Louis’s imagination it could be anywhere, from the Gold Coast to the Caribbean. He could voyage around the world and still be home for tea at Rockend, the villa his parents had taken in 1860 for an autumn break at North Berwick, a short train ride from Edinburgh. There were no more holidays at Colinton since the death of his grandfather that April. A new minister was in residence, Auntie had moved to London, and the shouts of Balfour cousins echoed round the Manse no more. Children’s voices now alerted Louis to a crisis below, where a younger boy was clinging to the rock, unable to get up or down. Years later the boy would recall looking up and seeing a brown face with keen, grey‐brown eyes, at once friendly and mocking. A thin, brown arm in a shabby, pepper‐and‐salt coat slid over the edge of the rock. ‘Take my hand,’ said Louis. The delicate hand, with its long fingers, seemed unequal to the task but the eyes inspired trust. ‘All right,’ said the boy, and put a sandy paw in the proffered thin one. ‘Hold tight and change your foot,’ ordered Louis. ‘One, two, three...’ With one good pull, the boy found himself on top of the Black Rock. ‘I am Louis Stevenson,’ said his new friend.
