King David of Judah In Contention with West Bank Plans

 Nadene Goldfoot

      I note that teeny as Israel is on such a map of Africa, would not be seen on any smaller map today.  

Half of it would be taken to make Judea and Samaria ('West Bank)" a Palestinian State.  The crime

committed was  done by the officials in the first place who decided on giving 90% of the Jewish Homeland planned by Lord Balfour to Prince Abdulla of Arabia, making him King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan.

 (Partition plan: In 1947, the UN proposed a partition plan for Palestine. This plan recommended dividing the land into separate Arab and Jewish states, with Jerusalem under international control.Rejection and war: The Jewish leadership accepted the partition plan, but the Arab leadership rejected it. This rejection ultimately led to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which began after the British mandate ended.)  

 Those that cut the land apart knew nothing about our history, evidently.  To give Judea and Samaria away, the heartland of our history, was in great great error!  

Any argument going on in society outside of Judaism  of Judah's 

kingship not being officially a king is wrong.  Here's a TV program not knowing or understanding Jewish Law.  Here's how they 

depict King David.  

Incidentally, King David ruled from 1010 BCE to 970 BCE.  That was 3,035 years ago !  Our religion goes  back to 

Moses who led us out of Egypt when he was 80 years old, and that would have been in 1311 BCE because he was born in 

1391 BCE.  

Judah's Sceptre – Bible Discovery TV above, and I have found their problem.   David's father in my research was Jesse, son of Oved, son of Boaz, son of Salva (Salmon), 

son of Nalshan, son of Amminadab, son of Ram (Aram), son of Hezron,

son of Perez, son of Judah !!!  They think Perez was disqualified because of who his parents were.   Hezron is a key figure in the genealogy of King David .Hezron's acceptance in Jewish lineage stems from the circumstances of his parents' union as recorded in the Bible, which, under a specific application of Jewish law (Halakha), was not considered an illicit relationship. The key factors are:

  12 Tribes of Israel

Tamar's status: Hezron was the son of Perez, who was the son of Judah and Tamar (Judah's daughter-in-law). Tamar was a widow whose two previous husbands, Judah's sons Er and Onan, had died without providing her children. Under the law of yibbum (levirate marriage, though the full law was formalized later), a brother-in-law was expected to marry the widow and have children to continue the deceased husband's line. When Judah failed to provide his third son, Shelah, to Tamar, she tricked Judah into impregnating her.

               A better view of what King David looked like by artists

King David of the tribe of Judah,  The biblical connection is prominent, as King David was a member of the tribe of Judah, and their relationship is explored in religious and historical texts such as the Torah, the first part of the "Old Testament." The name Judah is also associated with the southern kingdom of Israel, which was ruled by David's descendants.  The kingdom of Israel divided upon the death of King Solomon, son of David.  It divided into Israel and Judah, each having their own king.

Below, Palestinians create their own ideas of how "their" "Palestine" 

developed.  

                                                   

Arguments against anyone making "Judea-Samaria" a Palestine should remind us of these problems : The goal of Hamas has been to wipe out Israel and all Jews.  

1. Israeli security concerns,

2.  the impact of existing Israeli settlements, 

3. and questions regarding the capacity for effective Palestinian self-governance.    

The #3 latter question should be completed already with Israel saying that Hamas can be no part of the governance.  They must be gone. Israel is planning on governing, at least at first this time.
