# Abimelech #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Abimelech was a Philistine king over the region of Gerar during the time when Abraham and Isaac were living in the land of Canaan.
|
||||
|
||||
* Abraham deceived King Abimelech by telling him that Sarah was his sister rather than his wife.
|
||||
* Abraham and Abimelech made an agreement regarding ownership of wells at Beersheba.
|
||||
* Many years later, Isaac also deceived Abimelech and the other men of Gerar by saying that Rebekah was his sister, not his wife.
|
||||
* King Abimelech rebuked Abraham, and later Isaac, for lying to him.
|
||||
* Another man by the name of Abimelech was a son of Gideon and a brother of Jotham. Some translations may use a slightly different spelling of his name to make it clear that he is a different person from King Abimelech.

|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|

Ahaz was a wicked king who ruled over the kingdom of Judah from 732 BC to 716 BC. This was about 140 years before the time when many people in Israel and Judah were taken as captives to Babylonia.
|
||||
|
||||
* While he was ruling Judah, Ahaz had an altar built for worshiping the false gods of the Assyrians, which caused the people to turn away from the one true God, Yahweh.
|
||||
* King Ahaz was 20 years old when he started to rule over Judah, and he ruled for 16 years.

# Amalek, Amalekite, Amalekites #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The Amalekites were a nomadic people group who lived throughout the southern part of Canaan, from the Negev desert to the country of Arabia. This people group was descended from Amalek, the grandson of Esau.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* The Amalekites were bitter enemies of Israel from the time when Israel first came to live in Canaan.
|
||||
* Sometimes the term "Amalek" is used figuratively to refer to all the Amalekites. (See: [synecdoche](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche))
|
||||
* In one battle against the Amalekites, when Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning. When he got tired and his hands came down, they started losing. So Aaron and Hur helped Moses keep his hands up until the Israelite army had defeated the Amalekites.
|
||||
* Both King Saul and King David led military expeditions against the Amalekites.
|
||||
* After one victory over the Amalekites, Saul disobeyed God by keeping some of the plunder and by not killing the Amalekite king as God had commanded him to do.

# Annas #
|

|

## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Annas was the Jewish high priest in Jerusalem for 10 years, from approximately AD 6 to AD 15. Then he was removed from the high priesthood by the Roman government, although he continued to be an influential leader among the Jews.
|
||||
|
||||
* Annas was father-in-law to Caiaphas, the official high priest during the ministry of Jesus.
|
||||
* After high priests retired, they still kept the title, along with some of the responsibilities of the office, so Annas was still referred to as high priest during the priesthood of Caiaphas and others.
|
||||
* During his trial before the Jewish leaders, Jesus was first brought to Annas for questioning.

# Antioch #

## Facts: ##
|

|
||||
Antioch was the name of two cities in the New Testament. One was in Syria, near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The other was in the Roman province of Pisidia, near the city of Colossae.
|
||||
|
||||
* The local church at Antioch of Syria was the first place where believers in Jesus were called "Christians." The church there was also active in sending out missionaries to reach the Gentiles.
|
||||
* The leaders of the church in Jerusalem sent a letter to the believers in the church at Antioch in Syria to help them know they didn't have to keep the Jewish laws in order to be Christians.
|
||||
* Paul, Barnabas and John Mark traveled to the Antioch in Pisidia to share the gospel. Some Jews from other cities came there to stir up trouble, and they tried to kill Paul. But many other people, both Jews and Gentiles, listened to the teaching and believed in Jesus.

# Aram, Aramean, Arameans, Aramaic #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
"Aram" was the name of two men in the Old Testament. It was also the name of a region northeast of Canaan, where modern-day Syria is located.
|
||||
|
||||
* The people living in Aram became known as "Arameans" and spoke "Aramaic." Jesus and other Jews of his time also spoke Aramaic.
|
||||
* One of Shem's sons was named Aram. Another man named Aram was a cousin of Rebekah. It is probable that the region of Aram was named after one of these two men.
|
||||
* Aram later became known by the Greek name "Syria."
|
||||
* The term "Paddan Aram" means "plain of Aram" and this plain was located in the northern part of Aram.
|
||||
* Some of Abraham's relatives lived in the city of Haran, which was located in "Paddan Aram."
|
||||
* In the Old Testament, sometimes the terms "Aram" and "Paddan Aram" refer to the same region.
|
||||
* The term "Aram Naharaim" may mean "Aram of Two Rivers." This region was located in the northern part of Mesopotamia and was to the east of "Paddan Aram."

# Artaxerxes #

## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Artaxerxes was a king who reigned over the Persian empire from about 464 to 424 BC.
|
||||
|
||||
* During Artaxerxes' reign, the Israelites from Judah were in exile in Babylon, which was under the control of Persia at that time.
|
||||
* Artaxerxes allowed Ezra the priest and other Jewish leaders to leave Babylon and go back to Jerusalem to teach the Israelites the Law of God.
|
||||
* Later during this time, Artaxerxes also allowed his cupbearer Nehemiah to return to Jerusalem to lead the Jews in rebuilding the walls surrounding the city.
|
||||
* Because Babylon was under the rule of Persia, Artaxerxes was sometimes called the "king of Babylon."
|
||||
* Note that Artaxerxers is not the same person as Xerxes (Ahasuerus).

# Asherah, Asherah pole, Asherah poles, Ashtoreth, Ashtoreths #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Asherah was the name of a goddess that was worshiped by Canaanite people groups during Old Testament times. "Ashtoreth" may be another name for "Asherah," or it could be the name of a different goddess that was very similar.
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "Asherah poles" refers to carved wooden images or carved trees that were made to represent this goddess.
|
||||
* Asherah poles were often set up near altars of the false god Baal, who was thought of as Asherah's husband. Some people groups worshiped Baal as the sun god and Asherah or Ashtoreth as the moon goddess.
|
||||
* God commanded the Israelites to destroy all the carved images of Asherah.
|
||||
* Some Israelite leaders such as Gideon, King Asa, and King Josiah obeyed God and led the people in destroying these idols.
|
||||
* But other Israelite leaders such as King Solomon, King Manasseh, and King Ahab did not get rid of the Asherah poles and influenced the people to worship these idols.

|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
In Bible times, "Asia" was the name of a province of the Roman Empire. It was located in the western part of what is now the country of Turkey.
|
||||
|
||||
* Paul traveled to Asia and shared the gospel in several cities there. Among these were the cities of Ephesus and Colossae.
|
||||
* To avoid confusion with modern day Asia, it may be necessary to translate this as, "the ancient Roman province called Asia" or "Asia Province."
|
||||
* All of the churches referenced in Revelation were in the Roman province of Asia.

Azariah was the name of several men in the Old Testament.
|

* One Azariah is best known by his Babylonian name, Abednego. He was one of many Israelites from Judah who were captured by Nebuchadnezzar's army and taken to live in Babylon.

||||
* Uzziah king of Judah was also known as "Azariah."
|

# Baal #
|
||||
|

## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
"Baal" means "lord" or "master" and was the name of the primary false god that was worshiped by the Canaanites.
|
||||
|
||||
* There were also local false gods that had "Baal" as part of their names, such as "Baal of Peor." Sometimes all these gods together are referred to as "the Baals."
|
||||
* Some people had names that included the word "Baal" in them.
|
||||
* The worship of Baal included evil practices such as sacrificing children and using prostitutes.
|
||||
* At different time periods throughout their history, the Israelites also became deeply involved in Baal worship, following the example of the pagan nations around them.
|
||||
* During the reign of King Ahab, God's prophet Elijah set up a test to prove to the people that Baal does not exist and that Yahweh is the only true God. As a result, the prophets of Baal were destroyed and the people started worshiping Yahweh again.

# Babel #
|

|

## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Babel was a chief city in a region called Shinar in the southern part of Mesopotamia. Shinar was later called Babylonia.
|
||||
|
||||
* The city of Babel was founded by Ham's great-grandson, Nimrod, who ruled the region of Shinar.
|
||||
* The people of Shinar became proud and decided to build a tower high enough to reach heaven. This later became known as the "Tower of Babel."
|
||||
* Because the people building the tower refused to spread out as God had commanded, he confused their languages so that they could not understand one another. This forced them to move away to live in many different places across the earth.
|
||||
* The root meaning of the word for "Babel" is "confusion," named for when God confused the people's language.

# Babylon, Babylonia, Babylonian, Babylonians #
|

|

## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The city of Babylon was the capital of the ancient region of Babylonia, which was also part of the Babylonian Empire.
|
||||
|
||||
* Babylon was located along the Euphrates River, in the same region where the Tower of Babel had been built hundreds of years before.
|
||||
* Sometimes the word "Babylon" refers to the entire Babylonian Empire. For example, the "king of Babylon" ruled the entire empire, not just the city.
|
||||
* The Babylonians were a powerful people group who attacked the kingdom of Judah and kept the people in exile in Babylonia for 70 years.
|
||||
* Part of this region was called "Chaldea" and the people living there were the "Chaldeans." As a result, the term "Chaldea" was often used to refer to Babylonia. (See: [synecdoche](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche))
|
||||
* In the New Testament, the term "Babylon" is sometimes used as a metaphor to refer to places, people, and thinking patterns that are associated with idol-worship and other sinful behaviors.
|
||||
* The phrase "Babylon the Great" or "great city of Babylon" refers metaphorically to a city or nation that was large, wealthy, and sinful, just as the ancient city of Babylon was. (See: [Metaphor](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor))

# Balaam #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Balaam was a pagan prophet whom King Balek hired to curse Israel while they were camped at the Jordan River in northern Moab, preparing to enter the land of Canaan.
|
||||
|
||||
* Balaam was from the city of Pethor, which was located in the region around the Euphrates River, about 400 miles away from the land of Moab.
|
||||
* The Midianite king, Balek, was afraid of the strength and numbers of the Israelites, so he hired Balaam to curse them.
|
||||
* As Balaam was traveling toward Israel, an angel of God stood in his path so that Balaam's donkey stopped. God also gave the donkey the ability to speak to Balaam.
|
||||
* God did not allow Balaam to curse the Israelites and commanded him to bless them instead.
|
||||
* Later however, Balaam still brought evil on the Israelites when he influenced them to worship the false god Baal-peor.

# Bethel #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Bethel was a city located just north of Jerusalem in the land of Canaan. It was formerly called "Luz."
|
||||
|
||||
* After receiving God's promises for the first time, Abram (Abraham) built an altar to God near Bethel. The actual name of the city was not yet Bethel at that time, but it was usually referred to as "Bethel," which was better known.
|
||||
* When fleeing from his brother Esau, Jacob stayed overnight near this city and slept outdoors on the ground there. While he was sleeping, he had a dream showing angels going up and down a ladder to heaven.
|
||||
* This city did not have the name "Bethel" until after Jacob named it that. To make this clear, some translations may translate it as "Luz (later called Bethel)" in the passages about Abraham, as well as when Jacob first arrives there (before he changed the name).
|
||||
* Bethel is mentioned often in the Old Testament and was a place where many important events happened.

# Caesar #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "Caesar" was the name or title used by many of the rulers of the Roman Empire. In the Bible, this name refers to three different Roman rulers.
|
||||
|
||||
* The first Roman ruler named Caesar was "Caesar Augustus," who was ruling during the time that Jesus was born.
|
||||
* About thirty years later, at the time when John the Baptist was preaching, Tiberius Caesar was the ruler of the Roman Empire.
|
||||
* Tiberius Caesar was still ruling Rome when Jesus told the people to pay Caesar what was due him and to give to God what is due him.
|
||||
* When Paul appealed to Caesar, this referred to the Roman emperor, Nero, who also had the title "Caesar."
|
||||
* When "Caesar" is used by itself as a title, it can also be translated as: "the Emperor" or "the Roman Ruler."
|
||||
* In names such as Caesar Augustus or Tiberius Caesar, "Caesar" can be spelled close to the way a national language spells it.

# Daniel #
|

|

## Facts: ##

||||
|
||||
Daniel was an Israelite prophet who as a young man was taken captive by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar around 600 BC.
|
||||
|
||||
* This was during the time that many other Israelites from Judah were held captive in Babylon for 70 years.

||||
* Daniel was given the Babylonian name Belteshazzar.

|
||||

# Edom, Edomite, Edomites, Idumea #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Edom was another name for Esau. The region where he lived also became known as "Edom" and later, "Idumea." The "Edomites" were his descendants.
|
||||
|
||||
* The region of Edom changed locations over time. It was mostly located to the south of Israel and eventually extended into southern Judah.
|
||||
* During New Testament times, Edom covered the southern half of the province of Judea. The Greeks called it "Idumea."
|
||||
* The name "Edom" means "red," which may refer to the fact that Esau was covered with red hair when he was born. Or it may refer to the red lentil stew that Esau traded his birthright for.
|
||||
* In the Old Testament, the country of Edom is often mentioned as an enemy of Israel.
|
||||
* The entire book of Obadiah is about the destruction of Edom. Other Old Testament prophets also spoke negative prophecies against Edom.

# Ekron, Ekronites #
|
||||
|
||||
## Facts: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Ekron was a major city of the Philistines, located nine miles inland from the Mediterranean Sea.
|
||||
|
||||
* A temple of the false god Baal-zebub was located at Ekron.
|
||||
* When the Philistines captured the ark of the covenant, they took it to Ashdod and then moved it to Gath and Ekron because God kept causing people to get sick and die in whatever city the ark was taken to. Finally the Philistines sent the ark back to Israel.
|
||||
* When King Ahaziah fell through the roof of his house and injured himself, he sinned by trying to find out from the false god Baal-zebub of Ekron as to whether or not he would die from his injuries. Because of this sin, Yahweh said that he would die.
