Manasseh of (697-643 BC)
son of
55 year reign
the Bible him
Judah had a steadfast loyalty to the Assyrian empire
resulted in remarkable
King (reign 640–609 BC)
properity under his reign
began reigning as a boy (age 8) in 640 BCE
father was King
instituted major reforms
credited by most historians with having established or compiled important Scriptures during the Deuteronomic reform
when he came of age, he wanted to himself as a king
the Empire was subsiding so he had a lot of room to do this
according to the Bible, enacted religious
2 Kings 22-23
historians suggest that he was attempting to consolidate his realm
would have affected the way the imperial palace expressed its loyalty to the Assyrian authorities and to the gods
followed in the steps of Hezekiah
like him tried to rally his subjects around powerful symbols such as national
in the case of Judah this was Yahweh
did not die peacefully
executed by the Egyptian Pharaoh Necho II
Necho placed (joh-ah-KEEM) on the throne
609-597 BCE
the final years of the Kingdome of Judah
605 had defeated the Assyrians
proceded to make his way down toward
601 BCE Necho II stops him
inspired Joachim to join forces with Egypt
a decision
597 BCE Nebuchanezzar
attacked
deported Jeconiah and from Jerusalem to Babylon
the Biblical account is supported by the Babylonia Chronicle
although it does not mention the names of the kings themselves
burnt Jerusalem to the ground
the reason was Judah's attempt to
seen historically the attempt to rebel was foolish, inspired by a fervor
going back to the memories of divine salvation during the years of Hezekiah and
Biblical books had purported Hezekiah was saved by a divine miracle from the armies of Sennacherib (son of II)
in the Book of you can read about these events in legendary form
Jeremiah insists on bowing down to Babylon so that they could live and see another day
his opponents, some more respected prophets of Yahweh than he was, denied that Yahweh would allow Jerusalem to be conquered as during the days of Hezekiah
others believed there was a good chance of resisting if they joined with the forces of the
Ammonites, , Edomites, Phoenicians
archeological record contains firsthand witnesses to this period
letter
a letter which stated that one city could no longer see the fires from neighboring cities
a way they communicated with each other
"we see signal of Lachish but not Azekah"
Biblical account
the Babylonia armies destroyed Jerusalem and deported its population
King Zedekiah's eyes gouged out by the Babylonians
the final thing he is allowed to see is the of his own sons before he is deported
the formation of Israel and Judah as kingdoms
imperial centers in Mesopotamia and Egypt
evacuate the
create breathing space for the states in the Levant to emerge and develop
this is the gap in time when Judah and Israel become states and kingdoms
also the time when most of the Biblical history
Israel, Judah and neighboring kingdoms enjoyed several centuries of existence
until Mesopotamia and Egypt themselves
slowly expanded their borders
met each other on the land bridge of the Levant
Egypt was no long able to make its presence felt in
the small kingdoms of the Levant were left in ruins
were not able to hold there own against the great civilization centers of the ancient world

Ideas and Concepts:
Local etymological unclarity learned via this morning's History of the Bible class: "It is unclear if the inner city district of Berlin called "Moabit" was named by the French Huguenots who settled in Berlin under Frederick William I and named the area after the Biblical reference to the Moabites who lived in the Kingdom of Moab where the Israelites stayed before being allowed to enter Canaan, or if the name comes from the word "Moorjebiet" meaning "swamp area" in Berlin dialect."
