Allen Upward 1863 1926 was a poet, lawyer, politician and teacher . His work was included in the first anthology of Imagism Imagist poetry, Des Imagistes , which was edited by Ezra Pound and published in 1914. Upward was brought up as a member of the Plymouth Brethren and trained as a lawyer at the Royal University of Dublin now University College Dublin . While living in Dublin , he wrote a pamphlet in favour of Irish Home Rule . Upward later worked for the British Foreign Office in Kenya as a judge. Back in Britain, he defended Havelock Wilson and other labour leaders and ran for election as a Lib Lab candidate in the 1890s. He wrote two books of poetry, Songs of Ziklag 1888 and Scented Leaves from a Chinese Jar . He also published a translation Sayings of Confucious and a volume of autobiography, Some Personalities 1921 . Upward wrote a number of now forgotten novels The Prince of Balkistan 1895 , A Crown of Straw 1896 , A Bride s Madness 1897 , and The Accused Princess 1900 source Duncan, p. xii , and Athelstane Ford . His 1913 book The Divine Mystery is an anthropological study of Christian mythology. In 1908, Upward self published a book originally written in 1901 which he apparently thought would be Nobel Prize material The New Word . This book is today known as the first citation of the word Scientology , although it is used in the book in a disparaging way to describe science elevated to unquestioning doctrine . It is unknown whether L. Ron Hubbard , the founder of the Scientology organization, knew of this book. In 1917 the British Museum refused to take Upwards manuscripts, on the grounds that the writer was still alive, and Upward burned them source Duncan, p. xi . He shot himself in November 1926, reportedly after hearing of George Bernard Shaw s Nobel Prize for Literature Nobel Prize award. References Sheldon, Michael.

for the Book of Mormon figure Akish Achish is a name used in the Hebrew Bible for two Philistines Philistine rulers of Gath city Gath . It most probably is related to Greek Achaeos meaning something the the Achaean , perhaps hinting to the Greek connection of the Philistines, and is perhaps only a general title of royalty, applicable to the Philistine kings. The two kings of Gath, which is identified by most scholars as Tell es Safi , are The monarch with whom David sought refuge when he fled from Saul the King Saul 1 Sam. 21 10 15 . He is called Abimelech meaning father of the king in the superscription of Ps. 34. It was probably this same king, or his son with the same name, to whom David a second time repaired at the head of a band of 600 warriors. The king assigned David to Ziklag , whence he carried on war against the surrounding tribes 1 Sam. 27 5 12 . Achish had great confidence in the valour and fidelity of David 1 Sam. 28 1,2 , but at the instigation of his courtiers did not permit him to go up to battle along with the Philistine hosts 1 Sam. 29 2 11 . David remained with Achish a year and four months. Another king of Gath, probably grandson of the foregoing, to whom the two servants of Shimei fled. This led Shimei to go to Gath in pursuit of them, and the consequence was that Solomon put him to death 1 Kings 2 39 46 . In the 7th century BC royal inscription from Tel Miqne Ekron the name Achish appears, along with four other names of the local kings of Ekron. A similar name IKAUSU appears as a king of Ekron in 7th century BC Assyrian inscriptions. This apparently refers to the same king of Ekron. This appears to indicate that either the name Achish was a common name for Philistine kings, used both at Gath and Ekron, or, as Naveh has suggested, that the editor of the biblical text used a known name of a Philistine king from the end of the Iron Age Achish of Ekron as the name of a king s of Gath in narratives relating to earlier periods.

Excavations on the tell, sponsored by Pittsburgh Theological Seminary , began in 1999 and have continued for several seasons, revealing evidence of human settlement on the tell throughout the Late Bronze Age Ancient Near East Late Bronze Age , and Iron Age I and II. It is sometimes identified as the Biblical city of Libnah bibleverse Joshua 10 32 HE , bibleverse 2 Kings 19 8 HE or Ziklag bibleverse 1 Samuel 27 6 HE . During the first two years of excavation, it was revealed that the city had been destroyed by fire as the result of a military assault on two separate occasions, the first around 1200 BC, the other during the ninth century BC. Ron E. Tappy, the excavation s project director, has suggested that the military leader who destroyed the site during the ninth century may have been, among other candidates, Hazael of Aram Biblical region Aram . The Aramean s siege tactics are known from the Zakkur stele ref Which records that his son, called Ben Hadad, employed spectacular siege warfare against his enemies ref , and the Hebrew Bible records that Hazael devastated cities in the Shephelah during the ninth century, including Philistine Gath.
