Printable Mode1 Samuel 11:1
|
11:1 Nahaş, Amonitul, a venit şi a împresurat Iabesul din Galaad. Toţi locuitorii din Iabes au zis lui Nahaş: Fă legământ cu noi, şi-ţi vom fi supuşi. Nahaş, Amonitul. Numele Nahaş este obişnuitul cuvânt ebraic pentru ,,şarpe”. Şarpele era o decoraţie de seamă în templele păgâne din Palestina. Copiii lui Israel au considerat că este bine să păstreze şarpele de aramă după experienţa lor cu şerpii veninoşi din pustia Ţin, la plecarea lor din Cadeş (Numeri 20,1; 21,5-9, comp. cu 2 Regi 18,4). Văzând importanţa care se dădea şarpelui în toate religiile vecinilor lor, israeliţii venerau şi ei de mult timp şarpele despre care ei credeau că i-a salvat în pustie (comp. cu Ezechia 8,7-12), Mai târziu, pe timpul lui Ezechia, şarpele de aramă a fost nimicit, din cauza unei astfel de închinări (2 Regi 18,4). Având în vedere că numele oamenilor aveau în compunere nume ale diferitelor zeităţi, fără îndoială că lui Nahaş i-a fost dat un nume care însemna anumite caracteristici ale şarpelui, ca înţelepciunea şi agilitatea. Iabeş din Galaad. Învăţaţii au localizat iniţial cetatea aceasta pe dealurile care domină Wadi Yabis (Iabeş) cam la 7 mile la răsărit de râul Iordan. Dar aceasta ar fi fost prea departe pentru oamenii din Iabeş din Galaad să ducă trupurile lui Saul şi Ionatan în aceeaşi noapte în care au coborât de pe zidul din Bet-Şan corpurile mutilate ale acestor bărbaţi. Arheologul Nelson Glueck a descoperit mai multe urme de dovezi care l-au făcut să identifice Iabeşul de Galaad cu movilele actuale de la Tell et-Meqherch şi Tell Abu Kharaz, cam 1 milă la răsărit de Iordan, care domină râul Yabis, după ce iese din trecătoarea adâncă dintre dealurile Ghileadului şi curge spre apus împreună cu Iordan (The River Jordan, pag. 159-167). Cetatea aceasta fusese localitatea celor 400 de fecioare, ale căror părinţi au fost ucişi pentru că n-au vrut să ia parte la războiul civil împotriva lui Beniamin, şi care fuseseră date de soţii acelei seminţii după nimicirea aproape totală a ei (Judecători 21,8-14). Cu mulţi ani înainte de Nahaş, Israel fusese supus amoniţilor timp de 18 ani. Avea să fie numai natural ca amoniţii, care mai resimţeau înfrângerea lor prin braţul lui Iefta, să caute o ocazie de a recâştiga controlul asupra Galaadului. Gadiţii şi jumătate din seminţia lui Manase aveau pământ bogat, udat de râurile Iaboc, Yabis şi Yarmuc. Bine aşezate, departe de căldura deşertului, viile şi frumoasele lor păşuni erau obiectul invidiei neamurilor deşertului de răsărit. Iabeşul din Galaad se ridicase din ruinele vremurilor apuse, dar probabil că locuitorii lui nu uitaseră pedeapsa brutală primită după problema cu Beniamin. Dar mai puternică decât duşmănia de moarte dintre oamenii din Iabeş din Galaad şi propriul lor neam a fost ura pe care Amon o nutrea faţă de tot Israelul ca rezultat al înfrângerii administrate lor de Iefta. |

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).
