OS 132 - Judah Ascends
from Oldest Stories · host James Bleckley
Israel has been destroyed by the Assyrians, and Judah very nearly follows. But Jerusalem never does fall to the Assyrians, and the re-emergence of the southern kingdom is almost as shocking as the internal discord that accompanies it. We look today a lot of prophets and religious policies alongside military issues, because these do seem to be driving politics and polarized factionalism in a big way. The first Oldest Stories book, covering Sumer and Akkad is available for purchase: https://a.co/d/64mxp6w
