7:2 A zidit mai întâi casa din pădurea Libanului, lungă de o sută de coţi, lată de cincizeci de coţi, şi înaltă de treizeci de coţi. Se sprijinea pe patru rânduri de stâlpi de cedru, şi pe stâlpi erau grinzi de cedru. Casa din pădurea Libanului. Deoarece ne stau la dispoziţie numai slabe informaţii, multe din cele ce au fost spuse de comentatori, cu privire la casa aceasta şi la celelalte amintite în acest capitol, sunt în mare măsură presupuneri. Unii presupun că palatul lui Solomon (v. 1), casa din pădurea Libanului (v. 2) şi casa fiicei lui Faraon (v. 8) au fost trei clădiri cu totul distincte şi separate, iar alţii le privesc ca simple părţi ale unei singure construcţii. Nici măcar aşezarea nu este hotărât cunoscută. Ar fi rezonabil a conchide că erau trei clădiri separate, aşezate aproape una de alta şi strâns legate şi împreună constituind ceea ce, în altă parte e numit ,,casa împăratului” (1Regi. 9:10). Unii cred că acea ,,casă din pădurea Libanului” a fost în munţii Libanului. Dar numele dat acestei clădiri pare să indice mai degrabă natura, decât aşezarea ei. Aşa cum era construită cu patru rânduri de stâlpi de cedru, ea avea să aibă înfăţişarea unei păduri de cedru şi, probabil că de la această asemănare îşi trage numele. Din cauza afirmaţiei din 1Regi. 10:16,17, unii conchid că aceasta clădire a servit în principal, dacă nu întru totul, ca depozit de arme, pentru că Solomon a pus în ea ,,două sute de scuturi mari de aur bătut”, de 600 de sicli de aur fiecare, împreună cu ,,trei sute de scuturi mici de aur bătut”, întrebuinţând pentru fiecare din ele, trei mine de aur. Dar astfel de ,,scuturi mari” şi ,,scuturi mici” desigur că e greu de crezut că ar fi fost pentru război. Ar fi neobişnuit să ai soldaţi care să se aventureze în luptă purtând scuturi de aur. Ba mai mult, de obicei armele nu sunt depozitate în astfel de săli, ca acestea. Clădirea pare să fi fost o mare sală festivă, de felul celor atât de des întâlnite la palatele mesopotamiene. Sala era mare de 52/26 m, totuşi n-a fost aşa de mare ca unele săli ale palatelor asiriene, dezgropate de săpăturile moderne. Totuşi, părţi din casă se poate să fi fost folosite pentru depozitarea armelor, pentru că Isaia 22:8 vorbeşte despre ,,armăturile din casa pădurii”. Din cele patru rânduri de stâlpi de cedru, probabil că primul şi al patrulea au fost puşi ca pilaştri pentru zid, dând astfel naştere la trei pasaje mari în lungul clădirii. |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
