The document discusses King Solomon and the united Kingdom of Israel. It covers Solomon's succession after David, his great wisdom and administration as a young king, his construction of the Temple and palaces, and his commercial success. However, Solomon's many foreign wives led him to worship other gods, causing God to divide the kingdom after Solomon's death. This resulted in the northern tribes rebelling under Jeroboam, breaking the united kingdom into two separate kingdoms.
The document provides an overview of the Book of Samuel in three parts:
1. It discusses the traditional authors, the time period covered, and divisions of the book. Samuel is traditionally considered the author but it was likely written by Deuteronomistic historians after 960 BCE.
2. It was originally one book that was divided into two parts (1 Samuel and 2 Samuel) by Greek translators for practical reasons. 1 Samuel covers Samuel as prophet/judge and the rise of Saul. 2 Samuel focuses on David as king.
3. The book uses different sources and accounts to serve an overall theological perspective on the establishment of the monarchy under Saul and David and God's promise to David's house.
The document provides an introduction to the books of 1 & 2 Kings. It discusses that the books were originally one book in the Hebrew Bible but were split into two books in the Greek Septuagint. The books deal with the history of Israel and Judah from the time of Solomon's reign until the exile of both kingdoms. Key points covered include the division of the kingdom after Solomon, the rise and fall of the northern kingdom of Israel, and the southern kingdom of Judah until its exile to Babylon. The document also provides context on the authorship and historical timeline covered in 1 & 2 Kings.
1. The book of Samuel records the transition from the period of judges to the establishment of the monarchy in ancient Israel, focusing on Samuel, Saul, and David.
2. Scholars believe the book was compiled from multiple earlier sources that had differing perspectives on the monarchy, with some positive and some negative.
3. Key themes are Israel's desire for a king, warnings about potential abuses of power, and God's sovereignty over history while still holding people accountable for their choices.
1. The document discusses the authorship, dating, and sources of the biblical books of 1 and 2 Samuel. It was likely written by multiple anonymous authors from the Deuteronomistic school over time, drawing on earlier sources.
2. The books chronicle the transition from the era of judges to the establishment of the monarchy in ancient Israel with Saul as the first king, followed by David. They were originally one book that was later divided due to its length.
3. The books convey the theological message that God establishes and judges human rulers and nations according to their obedience to his commands, as outlined in Deuteronomy. He works both sovereignly and in response to human choices.

The theory of eliminative materialism claims that as cognitive science advances, it will show that common concepts of mental states like beliefs do not actually exist. It argues that these concepts are part of a false "folk psychology" theory. However, the passage argues there are flaws in both eliminativism about propositional attitudes and qualia. Specifically, the theory theory underlying eliminativism is flawed, and propositions alone can discredit its position on philosophy of mind. This identification of flaws undermines the central thesis of eliminative materialism.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

1. David E. Malick An Introduction to Ruth

THE BOOK OF RUTH
I. A BROAD INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORICAL BOOKS:
A. A Recurring View of History based upon Yahweh's covenants:
1. A Western view of history is primarily linear as it traces events
in a chronological line from A to Z with cause and effect viewed
in naturalistic terms
2. An Ancient Near Eastern view of history is primarily cyclic
(often around the regular cycle of seasons) with cause and effect
viewed in supernatural terms
3. The Ancient Near Eastern neighbors of Israel sought to direct
(or control) their historical cycles of destiny by the recitation of
appropriate incantations or omens
4. Israel was forbidden in their Law to practice divination, omens,
and incantations, therefore, they sought to direct (or control)
their history by conforming to their covenant with Yahweh
5. Therefore theology and history merged for Israel through the
covenants of Yahweh, and the historical books unfold Yahweh's
sovereign, covenant work in history:
a. Cause and effect are understood in view of God's covenant
response to human activities and decisions:
1) Note the cycles of Judges
2) Note the apostasy in the books of Kings
b. In particular, the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants
explain Yahweh's sovereign unfolding of history for Israel
B. The Theology of the Historical Books is Deuteronomistic:
1. The concept of a Deuteronomistic History was a development of
the earlier source-critical approach to the Pentateuch (JEDP),
but first found its detailed expression in 1943 by Martin Noth in
2. David E. Malick Introduction: Ruth, 2
______________________________________________________________________________
his work The Deuteronomistic History (Sheffield, England:
JSOT, 1981)
2. A classic Deuteronomistic History would affirm that the
historical books of Deuteronomy–2 Kings were the editorial
work of prophets during the eighth century B.C. in order to
promote religious reform which did not occur until after Josiah
read the book (cf. 2 Ki. 22-23)
3. The problems of this classic approach are enormous for the
conservative student of scripture including deception concerning
Mosaic authority for Deuteronomy, and a rewriting of history for
political purpose by the eighth century prophets
4. There are many levels upon which one can address the veracity
of the classic Deuteronomistic approach1 including the fact that
2 Chronicles 34 places the reforms of Josiah before the discovery
of the book of the Law in the temple. Therefore, it seems best to
reject the historical reconstruction of a classic Deuteronomistic
History
5. Nevertheless, the theological emphasis of a Deuteronomistic
History is valuable for understanding the historical books
because Israel's history is viewed in terms of her loyalty to the
covenant–especially Deuteronomy 27–30:
a. Obedience to the Mosaic Law and faith in Yahweh will
bring blessings and prosperity of the Mosaic covenant
b. Disobedience to the Mosaic Law and a refusal to trust in
Yahweh will bring cursing (cf. Deut. 4; Josh. 23; Judges
2:11-23; 1 Sam. 12; 2 Sam. 7; 1 Ki. 8; 2 Ki. 17:7-23)
c. Nevertheless, Israel is continually disobedient and
deserving of judgment, but God does not completely
destroy the nation because of his covenant with Abraham
(Gen. 12)
C. The Design of the Historical Books: To reveal God who works in
accordance with his covenants
1 See Kitchen, Ancient Orient and Old Testament.
3. David E. Malick Introduction: Ruth, 3
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Western societies write history for information's sake, or to
learn lessons from others, or to analyze elements of naturalistic
cause and effect
2. Ancient Near Eastern societies often wrote history as a tool of
propaganda in order to honor those in power with "historical"
accounts which ignored the negative and embellished the
positive
3. However, Israel's historical approach hardly could be considered
to be with the design of propaganda (even for the Davidic
dynasty) since it includes so much of the faults of its rulers
(including David–2 Samuel)
4. The design of Israel's historical literature was to teach about the
way in which Yahweh, their covenant God, acted in history–
especially in view of Israel's failures and unfaithfulness:
a. Legal literature declared God's will which was designed
to mold the moral, spiritual, and ethical direction of the
nation
b. Historical literature was a revelation (record) of the
sovereign work of God in accordance with his covenants in
history
c. Prophetic literature was a declaration of the will of
God in history in judgment of the nation's historical
dealings and in promise of God's future blessing
d. Although Israel was unfaithful to their Mosaic covenant
with Yahweh and often received the judgment due them
from their suzerain-Lord, Yahweh was also committed to
his people and delivered them in accordance with his
promises to Abraham with an eye to a New Covenant
which He would work in their hearts
II. AUTHOR: It is reasonable to ascribe authorship of the book of Ruth to the
prophet Samuel (or Nathan)
A. Strictly speaking this work is anonymous since no author is named
4. David E. Malick Introduction: Ruth, 4
______________________________________________________________________________
B. External Evidence: Though not definitive, the external evidence allows
for Samuel as the author of Ruth
1. The Talmud ascribes authorship to Samuel,2 but it is very
difficult to date this conclusion
2. Many argue against the possibility of Samuel as author because
they hold to a late date for Ruth for some of the following
reasons:
a. The explanation of levirate marriage (4:7), but if the
custom had ceased during Samuel's day, he would have
needed to explain its meaning for his generation and for
those to follow
b. The genealogy "presupposes" that David was a well
known figure at the time that it was written, but if this
would have been written later, surely Solomon would
have also been mentioned
c. Proposed purposes of post-exilic, ethnic toleration in view
of reforms by Ezra's and Nehemiah, but the ethnic
emphasis may well be explained by the portions of the
Law which existed in Samuel's day (Deut. 23:3 [Moabite];
Gen. 38:1ff [Tamar's treachery]; Deut. 25:5ff [Leverite
marriage]) and in fact would have historically undone
Ezra's reforms
d. The presence of Aramaisms, but these are not necessarily
an indication of a late date since they were present in
Palestine from at least the Amarna Age (Fourteenth
century B.C. 3
3. It is reasonable to adhere to an early date for the book of Ruth
which allows for Samuel, or possibly Nathan, as its author (see
below)
2 Bab. Bath., 14b.
3 See R.K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament, 79, 1061; John Bright, A History of
Israel, p. 109.
5. David E. Malick Introduction: Ruth, 5
______________________________________________________________________________
C. Internal Evidence: Internal evidence allows for Samuel as the author
of Ruth
1. The brevity of the genealogy in 4:18-22 argues for an earlier,
rather than a later date of composition which could well align
with Samuel
a. If the book was written from a time period while David
was popular or later during Israel's "Golden Age" while
Solomon was king, Solomon would have surely been
added to the list
b. Samuel knew well of the division which his anointing of
David (1 Sam. 16) would cause between the northern and
southern tribes of the nation (2 Sam. 1–5), therefore, he
demonstrated that David was from the line of Judah
fulfilling Jacob's prophecy (Ruth 4:12,18; cf. Gen. 38; 49:8-
12)
2. The author of Ruth uses ancient Hebrew prose idioms and
classical syntactical forms4
3. The setting of the book captures the period of the judges in a
uniform manner which would be very familiar for Samuel
4. The attitude of the Law towards foreign marriages (Deut. 23:3)
allows for an early date during Samuel's life
5. The only passages concerning levirate marriage which are
referred to are those which would have pre-dated Samuel (Gen.
38:1ff; Deut. 25:5ff)
6. The Hebrew style of Ruth is not only different from Esther,
Chronicles, Nehemiah, or Jonah, but is on a level with the best
portions of Samuel5
III. DATE: During the early Monarchy (c. 1000 B.C.)
A. The Book of Ruth offers no direct identification concerning its date
4 Harrison, IOT, 106.
5 S.R. Driver, Introduction, 454.
6. David E. Malick Introduction: Ruth, 6
______________________________________________________________________________
B. Ruth does cite its setting with the time of the Judges ("when the judges
judged" ים ִ֔
ט ְ
ֹּׁפש ַ
ה ֙
י ֵ
ימבaטֹֹּׁ֣פ ְ
)ש (1:1), and probably occurred toward the end
of the period:
1. This probably was not when Ehud led Israel out from under the
Moabite oppression (Judges 3)
2. This may well have been during the later portion of the book of
judges–especially since the genealogy is only three generations
before David6
3. The time when the "judges judged" is also the time when two
other accounts from the Bethlehem Trilogy occurred (e.g., Micah
and the Levite [Judg. 17–18], and the Levite and His Concubine
[Judg. 19–21]); The Book of Ruth is the third work of the trilogy7
C. The earliest date that Ruth could have been written was when David
was anointed King (1 Sam. 16)
D. The latest that Ruth was probably written was during the pinnacle of
David's fame since a later date would have probably required the
inclusion of Solomon's name in the genealogy8
E. Therefore, the book was probably written during the early monarchy of
Saul or David, but before the selection and/or enthronement of
Solomon (c. 1000 B.C. )
F. During David's reign there was a time when David showed favor to the
Moabites (1 Sam. 22:3)
G. The custom of exchanging the shoe (4:7) may have been a later gloss to
explain the activity to later readers, or more probably was included by
the writer because he lived close enough to the change-over to explain
the custom for present and future readers who no longer practiced the
6 See Merrill, Kingdom, 182, n. 97.
7 Merrill, Kingdom, 178-188. Even though all three accounts concern Bethlehem-Ephraim,
the first two accounts focus upon the flawed ancestors of Samson and Saul respectively; the third
account is meant to focus upon the loyal ancestors of David!

custom.9 The custom does not conflict with Deuteronomy 25 because in
Ruth 4:7 the sandal is being used for a different purpose–to confirm
the transaction
IV. AUDIENCE: The United Nation of Israel:
A. If Ruth was written by Samuel, then it was written to endorse David
as God's chosen king for Israel after Saul
B. If Ruth was written by Nathan, then it was written to establish David
before the newly established kingdom of Israel
V. PURPOSES of the Book of Ruth:
A. To provide a biographical sketch of the pious ancestors of David the
King (which the books of Samuel do not provide)
B. To contrast the reproach brought upon Bethlehem in Judges 17–21
with the account of the righteous in Bethlehem
C. To emphasize the fulfillment of God's covenant promises through
Judah at a time when the nation Israel had lost her first king–Saul
from the line of Benjamin
D. To demonstrate how Yahweh supplies for the enormous needs of his
people both individually and nationally in accordance with his
covenant promises
9 See a similar case in 1 Sam. 9:9; Cundall & Morris, Judges & Ruth, pp. 234-235; see also
the Nuzi parallels from c. 1500 B.C. which make a late date difficult as discussed by E. A. Speiser,
Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research 77 [Feb. 1940], pp. 15-18, and E. R. Lacheman
JBL LVI [1937]: 53-56.
