Ancient Israelite History: Conquest and settlementJacob Gluck
This document summarizes different perspectives on the history of ancient Israel based on biblical accounts and archaeological evidence. The Joshua account describes a lightning military conquest over 5 years, but archaeological evidence shows many of the described cities like Jericho and Ai were either unoccupied or villages at the time. Alternative views propose a more gradual settlement and emergence of the Israelite tribes and confederacy in Canaan through pastoral nomadism, with military encounters occurring later during state formation.
David was a legendary king of ancient Israel who united the tribes and established Jerusalem as his capital. Primary evidence of his career comes from 1-2 Samuel, though archaeological evidence is limited. David began as a shepherd who killed Goliath and rose to become King Saul's armor bearer, later fleeing Saul's attempts on his life and establishing his own following. He defeated the Philistines and expanded his empire before facing domestic troubles, including his affair with Bathsheba and rebellions from family members like Absalom.

The cornea is the main refractive element of the eye, contributing 70% of the eye's refractive power. Even minor changes to its shape can significantly alter the image formed on the retina. The cornea has an elliptical anterior surface and a circular posterior surface. It varies in thickness from center to periphery. Corneal topography is used to map the shape of the cornea using various techniques such as Placido disk, elevation-based, and Scheimpflug imaging. Topography provides quantitative data on corneal curvature, thickness, and irregularities that aid in diagnosing conditions like keratoconus.
David was a renowned leader who united the tribes of Israel and established Jerusalem as its capital. However, his personal life was marred by family conflicts. David took multiple wives from different groups, which led to disunity among his children who vied for succession.

Samuel played a key role in the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. He anointed Saul as the first king after Samuel served as a judge. Saul had some early military successes against the Philistines but disobeyed God by not following instructions to completely destroy the Amalekites. This led to Samuel announcing that God had rejected Saul as king. Samuel then anointed David to be the future king, beginning the transfer of power to David. Saul's reign marked a transitional period as Israel shifted from a loose confederation under judges to a centralized monarchy.

3. Factors contributing to formtion of monarchy.
Philistine threat
Ammonite threat
Internal social pressure (charismatic leader no longer sufficient).
More space in Bible devoted to this period than to any other: parallel stories (1sam8 -
1kings11 and 1chron3 - 2chron9)
Things to keep in mind:
Literary criticism: different strands in the historical account
archaeology
Minimalist vs. maximalist views.
4. Philistines.
Saul rises to throne in face of philistine military threat (sea peoples).
Sea peoples finally stopped by Rameses III c. 1180 bce.
Sea peoples setled in coastal plain of Canaan between Gaza and Jaffa: Gaza, Ashdod,
Ashkelon, Gath, Ekron.
Each city ruled by “seren” (Greek Tyrannos)
Skilled warriors. Weapon of Bronze and Iron.
Expanding into hill country from Aphek (Northern foothill).
Ark of covenant captured in Aphek battle (“EbenEzer”).
Philistines install garrisons in hill country. E.g. Geba
Some Israelites hide in caves.
6. Anointing of Saul by Samuel: Three traditions
Saul is looking for his father’s lost she-asses
Samuel casts lots at Mizpah.
Saul rescues Jabesh-gilead from Ammonite attack. Coronation at Gilgal.
Saul is “tall and strong” – well qualified as warrior
Samuel: variously regarded as judge, prophet and priest.
First battle – at Michmash– a success.
Philistine threat involved guerilla warfare; no great armies (Saul has about 600 about
me near Gibeah).
David distinguishes himself in repelling philistine advance from south.
Saul’s mistake: fighting in the open plain – near Mt. Gilboa. Diverging traditions
concerning his death.
Other enemies: Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, king of Zobah and Amalekites.
Amalekites: special enemy – first to attack Israel from the rear, unprovoked.
Samuel denounced Saul for sparing Agag and animals.
Saul became king at 1 and rules for 2 years? (1Sam 13:1).
7. Economic and political conditions: non-specialized society -- no smith in Israel so as to
prevent weapon manufacture. Philistines craft agricultural implements: plowshare
mattock, ax. (1Sam 13:19-22).
Saul’s kingship a family matter.
Saul portrayed as bad king in bible. (written by David’s partisan, priest Abiathar?).
He is jealous of him, after having given him his daughter Michal; tries to kill him
several times.
Origin of federation: Judahites joined Saul in battle against Philistines despite rift.
Saul’s kingdom includes: M. Ephraim, Benjamin and Gilead
No capital. HQ is near Gibeah under pomegranate tree (1Sam 14:2).
Archaeology: Not really “kingdom” – mostly farms and villages. Shiloh destroyed by
fire c. 1050 BCE, seemingly by Philistines following Ebenezer battle.
Israelites population: about 50,000.
By contrast, Philistine civilization was urban.
8. Reign of David.
Israel emerges as national entity: king, army, extended territory, commerce with
neighbors.
Some scholars claim that no archaeology warrants belief that statehood was achieved
before 9th cent in North, 8th cent. In South.
Seems refuted by mention of “Bet Dawid” by Mesha of Moab and Hazael of Damascus.
Golden age: 7 years – Hebron. 33 years – Jerusalem.
Glorification of Judah seems Paradoxical in light of:
1. David is from Bethlehem in south.
2. Saul’s adversary.
3. fought alongside the philistines.
Two accounts for Michal marriage:
David hired as “armor bearer”.
David defeats Goliath.
David appointed “commander of a thousand”; is very successful.
9. David escapes to Adullam: every man in distress, in debt or discontented joins him.
Abiathar the priest descendant of Eli, and Gad Yahweh prophet join David.
Achish king of Gath gives Ziklag to david.
David remains loyal o Judah by battling the Amalakites.
Afeter mt. Gilboa battle, David anointed king in Hebron.
Philistines are okay – David is a vassal.
Both Eshbaal and Abner ben Ner are killed due to personal vengeance.
All elders of Israel then submit to David; solemnized by covenant.
Philistines are now alarmed. They attack in Valley of Rephaim and Gibeon but lose both
battles (2Sam 5:17-25)
David then captures Jebus/Jerusalem (Canaanite until then).
Ark of the Covenant brought to Jerusalem from Kiriath-jearim. Religion of Yahweh now
serves as unifying factor.
David cemented alliances by marrying Abigail of Carmel, Ahinoam of Jezreel and
Maacah of Geshur (Transjordan).
David subjugates nations in east (Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites.
Incidents with Ammon: David sends condolences to Hanun –Nahash’s successor and his
men’s beards and garments are cut. In the ensuing battle Hadad-ezer the Aramaean is
defeated. “David took the crown of Milkom from his head” (2Sam 12:30).
10. By subduing Aramaeans and gaining control of trade routes, Israel becomes
superpower.
Traded with Hiram, Phoenician king of Tyre.
Still, no central administration; “may be a strong chiefdom”.
David’s royal cabinet:
• Joab son of Zeruiah over the army
• Jehoshaphat recorder
• Zadok and Ahimelech son of Abiathar priests.
• Seraiah secretary.
• Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethite and Pelethites.
David met resistance for temple and census plans. Gad opposed census but
supported construction of altar at site of Aranuah the Jebusite.
Guiding principle of David: organization and centralization.
11. Succession Issues and rivalry.
Meribbaal (Mephibosheth) eats at David table. David marries Michal. However, David
allows Gibeonites to take revenge against Saul’s descendants.
Amnon killed by his brother Absalom.
Absalom killed by Joab after failed revolt.
Benjaminite opposition to David joined with Absalom in revolt.
Adonijah has support of Abiathar, Joab, and Gad,
Solomon has support of Nathan and Zadok and Banaiah.
12. Analysis.
Accounts tend to glorify David and Solomon. E.g. David's promise o Bathsheba seems
like literary artifice; it was more like a coup d'état in David’s old age.
David is successful militarily but no lasting political control is achieved. “David defeated
Philistines as far as Gezer” (Gezer not included until Solomon).
Relationship with Hiram: commercial in nature, towards the end of his rule.
Moab merely paid tribute. Client king installed in Ammon. Local governors in Aram
Damascus and Aram Zobah.
Jebusite Jerusalem did not change much in David’s reign.
“breakthrough” in Hebron archaeology is from 10th cent. BCE
David’s resign represents a seizing of opportunity in the void generated by decline of
Assyria and Egypt.
Accomplishments:
Joined house of Israel and Judah
Made Jerusalem capital of both
Created for a brief period one of the most important powers in ANE.
Laid foundation for (Hebrew God) Yahweh religious institutions.
13. Solomon.
David was preoccupied with military and political pursuits, Solomon with
consolidation and administration.
Disposition of Enemies.
• Adonijah and Joab executed for scheming against king.
• Abiathar exiled to Anathoth.
• Shimei put to death.
Pharaoh (Siamun?) destroys Gezer (1Kings 9:16) and makes alliance with Solomon
giving him his daughter and Gezer as dowry; his reflects a weak Egypt.
Solomon develops commercial relations with Hiram.
Marries Naamah the Amonitess (1Kings 14:21).
Solomon rules over all the kingdoms from the river (Euphrates) to Philistia as far as
the Egyptian border. They were bringing gifts and were subject to him all his life
(1Kings 4:21).
14. Solomon’s Administration.
Solomon’s cabinet.
• Azariah, son of Zadok, priest.
• Sons of Shisha were secretaries.
• Jehoshaphat was recorder.
• Benaiah was in command of the army.
• Zadok and Abiathar were priests.
• Azariah (son of Nathan) was over the officers. NEW.
• Zabud (son of Nathan) was priest and king’s friend.
• Ahishar was in charge of palace. NEW.
• Adoniram was in charge of forced labor. NEW.
Egyptian influence in bureaucratic structure.
Dor Megiddo and Beth-shean now part of Israel.
Divided into 12 administrative districts with prefects/governors for each. Governors often
married Solomon’s daughters.
Each district must provide for the royal palace one month per year (includes providing
horses and chariots).
Receipt of tribute from administrative territories and vassal lands.
15. Solomon –continued-
Trade with Phoenicia: timber and technical aid in exchange for agricultural produce.
Trading expeditions sent to Ophir through the red sea (in cooperation with Tyre).
Expeditions brought back:
• Gold
• Precious stones
• Almug wood
• Apes and baboons
Arabian caravans returned with spices.
Solomon modernizes army. Horses from Cilicia, chariots from Egypt.
Special garrisons built in administrative districts for chariots and horses.
Constructed wall around Jerusalem and built the “millo” (terrace?).
Built three fortified cities: Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer.
Built temple (7 years) and palace (13 years).
Phoenicians assisted in architecture and decoration.
20 cities in he Galilee given to Hiram in return.
16. Sources of popular dissatisfaction.
Corvee and conscription.
Two adversaries (“soten”): Hadad the Edomite (=Aram) and Rezon son of Eliyada who fled
from his master Hadad-ezer king of Zobah… they went to Damascus and dwelt there.
Should read Aramaean prince / Rezon Hadad son of Eliyada.
Internal revolt spearheaded by Jeroboam an Ephraimite with support from Ahijah from
Shiloh. Jeroboam flees to Egypt.
People’s objections with Solomon’s many foreign wives:
• (he went after…) Ashtoreth, goddess of Sidonians
• Milkom the abomination of the Ammonites.
• (Built a high place for) Chemosh the abomination of Moab.
17. Extra-bibilical evidence of Solomon’s reign.
Analysis.
1Kings 1-11 seems derived from the “acts of Solomon” 11:41. Solomon presented as
“wise king” (because no war glory was possible?).
12 tribes of Israel derived from 12 admin districts?
Ophir and Queen of Sheba two disparate traditions that got mixed up.
“Solomon went to Hamat-zobah and took it. He built Tadmor (Palmyra) in the
wilderness…” (2Chron 8:3-4). Not reported in Kings; seems to be conforming
alteration of narrative by Chronicles author. Like wise, “Lebanon” in 1King 9:19.
Egypt.
Solomon’s marriage with daughter of pharaoh is suggested by a strong Egyptian
influence during his reign e.g. royal cabinet and 12 districts.
Pharaoh Shishonk is historical – Jeroboam flees to him; marks a turning point in
Israel-Egypt relations.
Two rebels: Rehoboam and Hadad from Damascus.
18. Phoenicia.
In Josephus: Hirom… went up to Libanus and had timber cut down for the construction
of temples. (based on Tyrian annals).
Other inscriptions conform central role of Phoenicians in maritime trade of the red sea.
Assyrian texts mention kingdom of Sheba – already in place by 890 BCE.
Epigraphic discovery: Gezer Calendar.
Israelite historiography probably began at this time (Paralleling Phoenician). An early
specimen may be the history of David’s accession written by Abiathar.
David-Solomon promoted recording of traditions in writing that united different tribal
sanctuary traditions: Hebron, Beersheba, Shiloh, Shechem.
Complex Solomonic admin required literate scribes.
3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs (1Kings 4:32) is prob. Exaggeration.
19. Gezer Calendar
Two months [September–October]
Two months [November–December]
Two months late [January–February]
One month cutting flax [March]
One month reaping [April]
One month reaping and measuring
(grain)----[May]
Two months [June–July]
One month summer fruit" [August]
Abijah
21. The Division of the 12 Tribes;
The Empire of David and
Solomon
22. Ammonite sculpture of a
deity was found at Rabbat
Ammon. 8th-7th centuries
B.C. M. Dayan Collection
(Israel Museum)
The Ammonites
The Ammonites (sons of Ammon)
according to the Bible originated
because of an incestuous relationship
between Lot (Abraham's nephew) and
his younger daughter (Gen 19:38).
Archaeology reveals that the
Ammonites dwelt east of the Jordan
River and settled there at the
beginning of the 13th century B.C.
2 Chronicles 27:5 - He fought also with
the king of the Ammonites, and
prevailed against them. And the
children of Ammon gave him the same
year an hundred talents of silver, and
ten thousand measures of wheat, and
ten thousand of barley. So much did
the children of Ammon pay unto him,
both the second year, and the third.
24. The Tel Dan Stele is a stele (inscribed stone)
discovered in 1993/94 during excavations at Tel Dan in
northern Israel. Its author was a king
ofDamascus, Hazael or one of his sons, and it contains
an Aramaic inscription commemorating victories over
local ancient peoples including "Israel" and the "House
of David."
