9:15 Iata cum stau lucrurile cu privire la oamenii de corvoada pe care i-a luat imparatul Solomon pentru zidirea Casei Domnului si a casei sale Milo, si a zidului Ierusalimului, Hatorului, Meghidoului si Ghezerului. Corvoada. Restul acestui capitol consta din scurte note istorice si explicative, dar el contine si unele detalii de mare valoare. Corvoada la care se face referire aici a fost amintita in cap. 5,13.14. Aceasta muncitorime recrutata a fost mai intai pentru cladirea Templului si apoi, pentru a palatului si alte lucrari. Milo. Socotita a fi o citadela sau punct puternic fortificat, in Ierusalim. Deoarece David a locuit in ,,cetatuia” sau ,,castelul” vechii cetati iebusite, luate de el, cunoscuta mai tarziu ca ,,cetatea lui David” (2 Samuel 5,7, 9, 1 Cronici 11,5. 7), probabil ca Milo a fost un loc intarit in cetate, cand aceasta a fost luata de David. Unii cred ca el a fost asezat la capatul de nord-vest al cetatii, unde Muntele Sionului coboara spre Valea Tyropoeon. David (2 Samuel 5,9; 1 Cronici 11,8) si Solomon (1 Regi 9,24; 11,27) au adaugat la primele fortificatii, iar mai tarziu si Ezechia a facut lucrari aditionale (2 Cronici 32,5). Altii au explicat Milo ca fiind terenul dintre dealurile Sion si Moria. Si a zidului Ierusalimului. David a intarit si a extins mult zidurile vechii cetati iebusite, cladind ,,intariturile de jur-imprejur, in afara si inauntrul lui Milo” (2 Samuel 5,9). Solomon a mai facut reparatii si adaugiri, inchizand anumite puncte slabe de aparare ,din cetatea lui David (1 Regi 11,27). Regii de mai tarziu au continuat sa faca reparatii si adaugiri, pana cand, in cele din urma, zidul trecea aproape de Valea Hinom, la sud (Ieremia 19:2), cuprinzand un zid dublu la sud-est, aproape de gradina imparatului (2 Regi 25,4), un zid in afara cetatii lui David spre est, ,,la apus, spre Ghihon, in vale” si care ,,se intindea pana la poarta pestilor” si pe care ,,l-a facut foarte inalt” (2 Cronici 33,14). Poarta de la coltul de nord-vest era o poarta importanta numita ,,poarta unghiului” (Ieremia 31,38). Aceasta era o sectiune a acestui zid nordic: ,,de la poarta lui Efraim pana la poarta unghiului” (2 Regi 14,13), care a fost daramat de Ioas al lui Israel, in timpul domniei lui Amatia. Ozia a reparat si a intarit zidul, cladind turnuri ,,pe poarta unghiului, pe poarta vaii si pe unghi, si lea intarit” (2 Cronici 26,9). Hatorului. Aceasta era o cetate importanta in nord, pe inaltime, aproape de apele Merom. Ea a fost cetatea lui Iabin, capetenia confederatiei nordice (Iosua 11,1). Dupa marea victorie a lui Iosua asupra acestei confederatii, el a ars cetatea (Iosua 11,13), iar mai tarziu, i-a dat-o lui Neftali (Iosua 19,36). Avand in vedere importanta cetatii care cuprindea cu privirea un drum important de invazie dinspre nord, Hatorul a fost fortificat de Solomon. Pe vremea lui Peca, a fost luat de Tiglat-Pileser III (2 Regi 15,29). Meghido. Aceasta era o insemnata cetatuie fortificata, in partea nordica a campiei Esdraelonului. Ea domina o trecatoare dintre campiile Saron si Esdraelon. Cetatea a fost data lui Manase, dar nu fusese supusa pe vremea impartirii tarii (Iosua 17,11-13). Ea este amintita in raportul despre batalia dintre imparatii Canaanului si Debora si Barac (Judecatori 5,19). Cand Ahazia a fost lovit de Iehu, acesta a fugit la Meghido si acolo a si murit (2 Regi 9,27). Tot acolo a avut loc si moartea lui Iosia, cand acesta a incercat sa opreasca fortele lui Neco din Egipt, pe drumul lui la nord de Eufrat (2 Regi 23,29). Meghido a fost excavat in intregime. Printre ruinele dezgropate se numara si grajduri de piatra, cu pardoseli de ciment, ce puteau adaposti aproape 500 de cai. La inceput au fost considerate ca datand din perioada lui Solomon, insa acum acestea sunt atribuite perioadei lui Ahab. Ghezer. Aceasta era o insemnata cetate canaanita, pe un bastion care se intindea pana in campia maritima, la vreo 11 km vest de Aialon, pe linia de frontiera a lui Efraim (Iosua 16,3). Cetatea a fost data levitilor (Iosua 21,21), dar n-a fost luata pe vremea cuceririi (Judecatori 1,29), cu toate ca, pentru o vreme a fost tributara (Iosua 10,16). Ea ocupa o pozitie strategica in Campia Aialon, o trecatoare importanta, adesea folosita de filistenii care aveau pe aici drumul spre tinuturile inalte centrale. Cetatea este amintita in mai multe ocazii in legatura cu luptele lui David (2 Samuel 5,25; 1 Cronici 14,16; 20,4). |

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).
