2 | Exiled Judeans and Israelites | Ezra 1:1 | carta10 | 234804 | ||
Did you know that the exiled Judeans and Israelites led different lives? Whilst the Judeans maintained their national identity in Babylonia and eventually returned to their homeland and Jerusalem under the Persian king Cyrus the Great, the ten Israelite tribes, in contrast, assimilated over time and merged into the local population. Any archaeological discovery that confirms The Word is a joy for the devout believer who has no doubts in the first place to the measured skeptic who may have been brought that much closer to belief. CARTA-JERUSALEM is about to publish “Bound for Exile: Israelites and Judeans under Imperial Yoke,” the first annotated collection of documents from Assyria and Babylonia from cuneiform sources, that deal with the fate and daily life of the Israelite and Judean exiles. Mordechai Cogan, whose "The Raging Torrent, Historical Inscriptions from Assyria and Babylonia Relating to Ancient Israel," was published by Carta Jerusalem, now fleshes out the imperial documents of that collection in his new, soon to be published, companion volume "Bound for Exile," with all available documents that relate to day to day activities and administrative matters. Another "first" from Carta-Jerusalem, it is a most valuable companion piece of the earlier volume. |

3 | The origins of David's men of valor? | 1 Chr 12:18 | carta10 | 234803 | ||
Here is an abridged excerpt from THE CARTA BIBLE ATLAS which also has an accompanying map: “David’s men of valor ... served as the nucleus of his army and were unquestioningly loyal and always ready for daring exploits. Most were from Judah and Benjamin, though some came from more distant tribes, from Mount Ephraim and beyond the Jordan. The unit of “thirty chief men” became a permanent military institution during the reign of David, later their number swelling and including also foreigners, such as Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai of Beeroth, and Uriah the Hittite (2 Sam 23:37–39; 1 Chr 11:39, 41).” THE CARTA BIBLE ATLAS has over 250 more such stories. |
