Chephirah is one of four towns named in Book of Joshua Joshua 9 17 along with Gibeon ancient city Gibeon , Beeroth north Beeroth , and Kiriath Jearim . The context is a story explaining a peace treaty between the Israelites and the natives of this region. Chephirah appears again in 18 26 as one of the towns assigned to the Tribe of Benjamin . No other noteworthy event occurred at Chephirah for hundreds of years until it was named again in the parallel passages of Book of Ezra Ezra 2 25, Book of Nehemiah Nehemiah 7 29, & apocryphal 1 Esdras 5 19. Here the context is not of the location, but of the families who formerly resided there prior to being taken captive to Babylon . The people of Chephirah are grouped together with those of Beeroth and Kirjath Jearim, but the Gibeonites comprise a separately numbered family.

The name means Made by God. Asahel was the nephew of King David , as well as the younger brother of both Abishai , David s General, and of Joab . Asahel is mentioned in Books of Samuel 2 Samuel Chapters 2 and 3. Additionally, the name Asahel under a variant spelling appears in Aramaic in the Book of Enoch . Meaning The name is made up of two parts the verb , Hebrew to do, make 3rd m.sg. perfect, and the theophorous element deity name , , the Hebrew God El, or Elohim . This would make it a name of thanksgiving, thanking God for what he has made, done. History Asahel was the youngest son of Zeruiah, David s sister. His older brothers were Joab and Abishai. He was known for his swiftness of foot Asahel was swift of foot, like a gazelle in the open field. cf. 2 Sam. 2 18 . He was put to death by Abner, whom he pursued from the battlefield when fighting against Ish bosheth at Gibeon , in the army of his brother Joab, cf. IISam. 2 18 19 . He is considered among David s thirty valiant men cf. IISam. 23 24 1 Chronicles . 11 26 . After a battle at Gibeon ancient city Gibeon between Abner , commanding the army of Ish bosheth son of Saul and Joab, commanding the army of David, Asahel pursued Abner while he attempted to escape. Young Asahel soon caught up with Abner. Abner begged Asahel to stop pursuing him, but when Asahel refused to desist, Abner thrust the blunt end of a spear through Asahel s stomach, and Asahel died on the spot cf. 2 Sam. 2 23 . Although Joab won the battle, Abner escaped with his life Asahel was buried in his father s tomb at Bethlehem . In retaliation, Joab murdered Abner with help from his brother Abishai, against the wishes of David.

A valley descending southwest from Emek Refaim Jerusalem to the Valley of Elah below, it is an ancient route from the coastal plain to the Judean Hills , probably named after the legendary race of giants. Biblical story When David became king over all History of ancient Israel and Judah Israel , the Philistines , judging that he would now become their uncompromising enemy, made a sudden attack upon Hebron , compelling David to retire from it. He sought refuge in the hold at Adullam bibleverse 2 Samuel 5 17 22 NIV , and the Philistines took up their position in the valley of Rephaim , on the west and south west of Jerusalem . Thus all communication between Bethlehem and Jerusalem was intercepted. While David and his army were encamped here, there occurred that incident narrated in bibleverse 2 Samuel 23 15 17 NIV . Having obtained divine direction, David led his army against the Philistines, and gained a complete victory over them. The scene of this victory was afterwards called Baal perazim . A second time, however, the Philistines rallied their forces in this valley bibleverse 2 Samuel 5 22 NIV . Again warned by a divine saying, David led his army to Gibeon ancient city Gibeon , and attacked the Philistines from the south, inflicting on them another severe defeat, and chasing them with great slaughter to Gezer q.v. .

Adonizedek variously transliterated as Adoni zedec or Adoni Zedek in Hebrew language Hebrew , Adoni Tzedek was, according to the Book of Joshua , king of Jerusalem at the time of the Israelite invasion of Canaan bibleverse Joshua 10 1 3 NIV . His name means my lord is righteousness in Hebrew. Adonizedek led a coalition of five of the neighboring Amorite rulers Hoham king of Hebron , and unto Piram king of Jarmuth , and unto Japhia king of Lachish , and unto Debir king of Eglon to resist the invasion, but the allies were defeated at Gibeon ancient city Gibeon , and suffered at Beth horon , not only from their pursuers, but also from a great hail storm. The five allied kings took refuge in a cave at Makkedah and were imprisoned there until after the battle, when Joshua commanded that they be brought before him whereupon they were brought out, humiliated, and put to death. The name Adoni zedek seems to be corrupted into Adoni Bezek in bibleverse Judges 1 5 7 NIV , though they may refer to two different individuals. According to the Midrash , the name Adoni zedek is translated as Master of Zedek that is, of Jerusalem, the city of righteousness Genesis Rabbah xliii. 6 . Identification with Abdi Heba The author of the article for the Easton s Bible Dictionary states that amongst the Amarna letters are some letters from Adonizedek to the Pharaoh of Egypt , which add to the history recorded in Josh. 10. However, the only king of Jerusalem mentioned in this archive is one Abdi Heba whose name translates as servant of Heba , who is said to have succeeded Lab ayu . Six of his letters to the king of Egypt EA 285 290 are included in the Amarna letters , and he is mentioned in a seventh EA 280 . Perhaps the Dictionary author saw how Abdi Heba complained of the raids by the Habiru , who at the time were unquestioningly identified with the Hebrews , and forced the identification.

Rachel had so desired children that she considered herself dead without them. Gen. 30 1 Jeremiah said that she was figuratively weeping because of the loss of the people killed or taken in captivity.
