Israelites: We don't like the system of the judges we... Better Call Saul.
-
Last time I was this early the Israelite Kingdom was still united.
-
4:54 "... for which Joab ends up losing his job". After that, he was only known as "A".
-
Worth mentioning here that "bosheth" was a word inserted into Hebrew religious texts in place of the names of other gods. The word means "shame" - so it is shameful that a king would have the name of a god other than Yahweh incorporated into their name. So the name "Ish-Bosheth" was actually "Ishbaal" or "Eshbaal." "Mephibosheth" was a rewrite of the name "Merib-Baal."
-
I am glad you included Ish-bosheth. Many people skip over him because they assume David took over all of Israel immediately when Saul died.
-
Israelite kings being assassinated sounds like a very common theme
-
I've been in Hezekiah's Tunnel in Jerusalem and I can confirm it's a brilliant piece of engineering.
-
16:00 Sargon king of Assyria is actually mentioned in the bible, in Isaiah 20:1
-
excited for genealogy of jesus
-
How do you know that Jezebel only uses Apple Computers? Because she hates "Windows" I'll let myself out.
-
16:40 "Generally the kings of Judah are presented as being good kings." If by "generally," you mean eight out of twenty (at most), then yes. The Old Testament authors were still very critical of Judah's monarchy as well. Few kings of the southern kingdom they considered faithful to Yahweh, and even then they usually qualified their assessment (e.g., "This king still did not take down the high places and Asherah poles," etc.).
-
I cant be the only one who had to keep rewinding, there were so many links and names and cousins and best friends and shit to keep up with. My god, this is going to take hours to digest. Great research. Your approach is perfect balance as well. Respect the books but take the history for what it is.
-
Being a Christian, I'm just happy he doesn't drag religion though the mud as much as other people.
-
The way you splash the full screen images on is really cool, solid addition
-
as a christian and a lover of history and science, i love this video because it describes the history of the Israelites in a very satisfying way.
-
It would interesting to see the legendary monarchs of other civilization and how the tie into modern monarchies
-
Really enjoyed this - I have a degree in religious studies so recognised a lot of these names and it was really great to see what I remembered studying way back in the mid 90s
-
Hey mister, I'd just like to say, I LOVE YOU. Your charts are so delicate and informative which I deeply appreciate as a devoted lover of history 💛😭 Thank you so much for your efforts!
-
The level of effort to put everything together and explaining events in short is really amazing. I hope to see such videos based on other civilizations. Keep up the good work! ✌
