## Introduction to the Historical Nations and Kingdoms that had contact with the Nation of Israel
1. This information assumes you have text books about ancient history.
2. This information is about some of the figures and leaders that do appear in the Biblical text: the Babylonians, the Medes , the Persians, the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Medes, and some of their leaders, such as Cyrus, or Asserbanipal (known in the Bible as Asenappar).
3. The "non-Biblical" history often gives insights into the struggles between nations and kingdoms; the location of these ancient places, and the relative locations between the Israelites and those who fought with them, or who imprisoned them, or to give help in understanding about the nation of Israel and their struggle as they were settled in and around Jerusalem before they took the land of Canaan, when they were in the geographical Israel, and the times they were taken away into captivity
This Annotation is a list of important kingdoms and regions that existed at the same time as the accounts that appear in the Bible's account of the History of Israel and of other kingdoms and nations that came in contact with Israel.
There are several references in this list that may not give insight to the Biblical text, but, if you are familiar with ancient history up to 1000 B.C.E., there may be information that will help you to understand the time and the powers that existed **at the same time as** the events that are presented in the Bible.
