It must be borne in mind that my design is not to write histories, but lives.\|...\|(http://www.4literature.net/Plutarch/Alexander/)\|Sacred Texts <../../index.htm> Judaism <../index.htm> Index Previous Next \|\|p. 8\|ALEXANDER OF MACEDON\|THE great conqueror Alexander the Macedonian, the son of Philip, who, at the instigation of t\|he Persians, was assassinated by Pisanius, when yet a boy showed great thirst for conquest. W\|hen he heard of his father's conquests he wept bitterly, complaining that by the time he assu\|med the crown there would be so little for him to conquer. He was barely twenty years old whe\|n he ascended the throne, but he knew well how to make his power felt. He soon conquered th\|e Thracians, as well as the rebellious Thebans, and his heroic qualities developed so rapidl\|y that he was appointed by the Greeks as military chief in their wars against the Persians. U\|ninterrupted success followed his arms, and had he not died at a comparatively early age he w\|ould probably have conquered what was then known as the whole world. His victory over the Per\|sian General Memnon, on the river Granicus, in the North-West of Asia Minor, opened for him t\|he road into the interior of further Asia. He was not slow to take advantage of the opportuni\|ty, and pushed rapidly through the States of Asia Minor, through Lydia and Ionia to Pamphylia\|. In the latter, near Issus, he gained a brilliant victory over Darius the Third, also know\|n as Codomanus, who narrowly escaped death, leaving his mother, his wife and his children i\|n the hands of the conqueror.\|The Macedonian hero, with his troops intoxicated with victory after victory, now entered Syri\|a, not so much in pursuit of Darius as with a view to extending\|p. 9\|his conquests. He took Damascus and Sidon, and attacked Tyre, so as to become master of the s\|ea also.\|That city, however, being very strongly fortified, and being on one side protected by the sea\|, offered a stubborn resistance, and Alexander found himself compelled to embark on a long si\|ege. In order to prevent any untoward event during the siege, Alexander was anxious to ensur\|e immunity from the neighbouring State.\|He therefore sent a message to Jerusalem, with a letter to the High Priest Jedua with the fol\|lowing requests: (1) To supply him with troops; (2) to allow free traffic between the Macedon\|ian army and Jerusalem; (3) to give him every possible assistance, such as had been granted t\|o Darius. A hint was also thrown out that the High Priest would do well to consider whose fri\|endship and goodwill was of greater value--that of the victor, or that of the vanquished.\|The letter further expressed Alexander's anticipation of having these modest requests granted\|, and assured the Jews that they would have no reason to regret compliance. The Jews could no\|t but know that it would be greatly to their advantage to be on good terms with this famous h\|ero, and that the beaten Persian could neither benefit nor injure them. Yet they did not fee\|l justified in deserting the Persians. The High Priest therefore indited something like the f\|ollowing answer:--\|'Recognition and high esteem are undoubtedly due to so glorious a hero, yet for the present t\|he Jews of Jerusalem cannot comply with his wishes, for these reasons: We Jews have promise\|d our loyalty, on our oath, to Darius. So long as that Prince lives the oath has its force, a\|nd the Jews could commit no sin so grievous as wilful perjury, seeing that one of their comma\|ndments, with which God has entrusted them, is this: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lor\|d thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless\|p. 10\|that taketh His name in vain."' The High Priest moreover mentioned instances--such as Zedekia\|h, the last King of Judah, who became disloyal to the Babylonian ruler, his former allegianc\|e notwithstanding, and brought calamity upon himself and upon Judea. He further pointed out t\|hat Moses' teaching tends to show that the God of Israel is a God of Truth, that treachery an\|d untruth bring misfortune on those who practise them, and that it is incumbent on every tru\|e adherent of the teaching of Moses to avoid all falsehood and duplicity. Alexander would per\|haps have been satisfied with the explanation offered by the High Priest Jedua, had it not be\|en for the Samaritans, who, whilst practising all sorts of idolatry, were at the same time an\|xious to unite with the Jews, and to be considered as a portion of that body. When the Jews r\|epudiated them, they sought to set up a temple of their own on the model of the Jerusalem Tem\|ple. Menasseh, a brother of Jedua, formerly a priest, having married a Samaritan woman, the d\|aughter of a Samaritan governor, was deprived of his office of priest in the temple, and wa\|s naturally all the more anxious to set up an opposition temple, in which he could exercise h\|is priestly function. The Samaritans therefore strained every nerve to excite Alexander's ill\|will against the Jews, and to obtain his sanction for the erection of a temple on Mount Geriz\|im.\|Sanblat, the Governor of Samaria, and father-in-law of Menasseh, the expelled priest, sough\|t audience of Alexander, and took the opportunity to give his version of the motives of Jedua\|, the High Priest, in refusing Alexander's requests. He maintained that loyalty to Darius wa\|s not the motive of the refusal, as the Jews, he said, knew nothing of loyalty, but, on the c\|ontrary, would overthrow every throne not occupied by one of their own people if they had th\|e power. He said that they were priest-ridden, and that if there were any who\|p. 11\|would join his (Alexander's) army, they dared not venture it, as that would exclude them fro\|m participating in the Temple service, which to them meant moral death. If he (the Macedonian\|) would only secure an alternative to the Jerusalem Temple by sanctioning the opposition Temp\|le which the Samaritans were anxious to set up, this would bring large numbers from Jerusale\|m to the new Temple; and the newcomers, no longer fearing exclusion from the Jerusalem servic\|e, would gladly join with the Samaritans the banner of the great conqueror Alexander. It is p\|erhaps not surprising that the Macedonian conqueror was much impressed with this plausible ve\|rsion, especially when the Samaritans, as an earnest of their acceptance of and adhesion to t\|he new state of affairs, deserted en masse the ranks of the crushed Darius, and went over t\|o Alexander's army.\|The desired permission for the building of the Gerizim Temple was granted, and the work was t\|aken in band. Soon afterwards, however, the governor, who was a man of advanced age, died. Ty\|re could no longer resist the severe siege, and, as predicted by the prophet (Is. 27), it cap\|itulated. Indescribable slaughter and ravage took place within its walls; the town was laid i\|n ruins, and its heroes were either slaughtered or taken as slaves.\|Alexander now turned his attention to the punishment of the Jews, and started with his ever-v\|ictorious army for Jerusalem. When the news of the approach of Alexander and his formidable a\|rmy reached Jerusalem, there was consternation, and despair ruled supreme amongst the inhabit\|ants, one and all. The Jews took refuge, as ever, in their religion; prayer, fasting, sackclo\|th and ashes were the order of the day. Confession of sin and repentance were practised dail\|y by almost every person. When Alexander was but about one day's distance from Jerusalem, th\|e High Priest and Elders of the Temple had the streets of the\|p. 12\|city beautifully decorated, the public buildings as well as the private residences were magni\|ficently adorned, and they ordered the inhabitants to form two lines in the streets--one oppo\|site the other--the people to appear in their holiday attire. The gates of the city were bede\|cked with garlands of the finest flowers, and triumphal arches were erected. The priests, th\|e Levites and the Elders, at their head the venerable High Priest Jedua in full priestly robe\|s, mitre, ephod and breastplate, made their way, towards evening, to the entrance of the city\|, carrying torches and candles in their hands, and a light was thrown on the brilliant assemb\|ly such as eclipsed the noonday brightness of a magnificent summer's day.\|Soon after their arrival at the gate, Alexander, at the head of his army, made his appearance\|. He was quite astonished at the sight that met his view, and seemed to be overwhelmed on beh\|olding the grand and imposing assembly that came to meet him. When he saw the High Priest, wh\|o looked even as an angel in his garments, Alexander dismounted, as though impelled by an ins\|tinct, bowed himself reverently, and proclaimed aloud: 'Blessed be the God whose servant yo\|u are.' His army, however, having anticipated plunder rather than the sight before them, coul\|d ill conceal their bewilderment at the strange turn of affairs. They could hardly believe, o\|n the evidence of their own senses, that their proud monarch should bend his head so humbly a\|nd so reverently before the High Priest. One of Alexander's confidential and favourite office\|rs, Parmenion by name, ventured at last to ask the King why he, the proud conqueror, showed s\|uch marked honour and deference to the Jewish priest.\|'Listen, then,' replied Alexander, 'and I will tell you of a wonderful experience of mine. Wh\|ile I was still in Macedonia I often lay awake at night, when all else was at rest, thinkin\|g of a plan by which to gain mastery\|p. 13\|of Asia. One evening, when my thoughts were more than usually occupied with this fond schem\|e of mine, I fell, exhausted by this mental strain, into a deep slumber, and saw in a visio\|n an awe-inspiring man standing before me. The very sight of him seemed to instil into me cou\|rage and hope, and, as though reading my very thoughts, he advised me to cross the borders o\|f Greece without further hesitation, and assured me of the success of my projected undertakin\|g. That vision of mine was no myth, no nightmare, not the mere phantasy of a heated brain; fo\|r not only have I, since that vision, never met with anything but victory, but in the hoar-he\|aded and venerable servant of the Jewish God, in his attire and in his bearing, I see no othe\|r than the man of my vision. Shall I not then revere the man who was the messenger of his Go\|d to lead me to victory? I am equally convinced that my destiny is to overthrow Darius, and f\|or that purpose I was called to undertake this venture, and the appearance of this holy man f\|oretells complete success.' After this explanation, Alexander entered Jerusalem, accompanie\|d by the Jewish dignitaries who came to meet him. He was welcomed and cheered throughout by t\|he population of the city. His first request was to be taken to the Temple, where he anxiousl\|y inquired concerning the ceremonies and sacrifices and the manner of the services.\|His curiosity was gladly satisfied, and the High Priest directed his attention also to the pa\|ssage in Daniel 8. 5, where it is foretold that a Greek ruler (which term the High Priest app\|lied to Alexander) would overthrow the Persian kingdom, and Alexander was exceedingly please\|d with all he saw and heard. The following day the Macedonian hero summoned all the priests a\|nd elders, and asked them to tell him, without restraint and hesitation, what they wished o\|f him as a token of his great satisfaction at the reception given him, and as a mark of his h\|igh estimation of their\|p. 14\|services and organization. The High Priest, who was the spokesman, asked his Majesty to gran\|t them the free and unhindered exercise of their religious rites, and to waive the payment o\|f taxes in the Sabbatical year, when, according to the law of Moses, no agricultural pursuit\|s were allowed, and consequently there was no revenue from their lands. This was at once gran\|ted; but Alexander observed from Jedua's demeanour that there was some further favour he wish\|ed to obtain, but that the good man was reluctant to name it. He therefore requested the Hig\|h Priest to lay all his wishes before him. The High Priest then ventured to ask that the grea\|t monarch might extend his permission regarding the exercise of the religious rites by his Je\|wish subjects to all other parts of his wide dominions, such as Babylon and Media, and this w\|as also cheerfully granted by the great Alexander. At the express wish of the Macedonian warr\|ior, a large number of the most valiant of the Jewish community joined his army, and he gav\|e them permission to follow their religious observances in the camp. As a further favour, Ale\|xander requested that his likeness might be framed and placed in the Temple. It was pointed o\|ut to him that the Jews were strictly forbidden to have pictures and likenesses of anything w\|hatever in their places of worship, and, in lieu of this, it was suggested (1) that all mal\|e children born in that year throughout Jerusalem should be named Alexander, and (2) that th\|e Jews should adopt a new era called the Alexander Era. That era was to commence with Octobe\|r 1 of the year 312 before the Christian era. This suggestion met with Alexander's approval\|, and up to the eleventh century of the Christian era this method of reckoning the years wa\|s actually in force, and was known as the Era of Documents. 1\|With Alexander's entry into Jerusalem began a very\|p. 15\|considerable improvement in the condition of the Jews. 1 The Samaritans used every subterfug\|e in order to be recognized as Jews by the Macedonian hero, so that they might enjoy the priv\|ileges and advantages bestowed on the latter, but they failed to convince Alexander, who reme\|mbered their efforts to prejudice him against the Jews, that they were of the same people. 'I\|f you are indeed Jews,' he asked, 'how is it that you are not known by that name?' 'We are,\|' they insisted, 'descendants of the Patriarch Jacob, and Israel's God is our God; but the Si\|domites call us Samaritans, and we are also known to them by the name of Shechemites, after o\|ur capital Shechem.'\|Alexander was not satisfied with their answer, and told them that he could not recognize the\|m as Jews, and to the Jews alone he had granted the privileges which the Samaritans sought t\|o obtain. He asked them to leave the matter in abeyance till his return from the long journe\|y he was about to undertake, and on his return he would thoroughly investigate their claim, a\|nd then see that justice was done to them. The Samaritans were dissatisfied with Alexander'\|s treatment of them, and they rebelled and burned the Governor Andromachus in his own palace\|. Alexander's anger at this was very great; he returned, put to death the leaders, exiled a n\|umber of Samaritans to Egypt, where they formed a colony in Thebais, and handed a large numbe\|r of them over to the Jews as slaves, as a reward for their tried loyalty.\|Alexander of Macedonia, be it remembered, was by no means a mere uncouth warrior whose knowle\|dge did not extend beyond the narrow compass of the battlefield, for the vast dominion of ar\|t and science was an open book to him. From his thirteenth to his eighteenth\|p. 16\|year he was a pupil of Aristotle, who guided him through all branches of wisdom and knowledge\|, and inspired in him a love for Homer's works, which in fact he always carried with him. A\|s a consequence, he naturally had a longing for intercourse with the educated and learned me\|n of every place which he visited. Arrived in the South, his first step was to have the men d\|istinguished for their wisdom brought before him. To them he put the following ten questions\|: (1) Which is the longer distance--from the earth to the skies, or from the east of the worl\|d to the west? Answer: The last-mentioned is the longer, because if the sun stands in the Eas\|t or in the West, then he is perceived in the half of each sphere; but if he is in the centr\|e of the sky, then he is not visible everywhere. Consequently he must be higher in the forme\|r case than in the latter. (2) Which was created first--the heavens or the earth? Answer: Th\|e Almighty clearly commenced His work with the heavens, for is it not said, 'In the beginnin\|g God created the heavens and the earth'? (3) Who is truly wise? Answer: He who can foresee t\|he result of his acts is truly a wise man. (4) Who is truly strong? Answer: Strength is in th\|e possession of him who can overcome his passions. (5) Who can be considered truly rich? Answ\|er: Truly rich is he who possesses contentment. (6) How can man acquire true life? Answer: Tr\|ue life can be obtained by deadening one's passions. (7) What hastens man's death? Answer: In\|dulgence in earthly pleasures. (8) How can man obtain the love of his fellow-men? Answer: B\|y not seeking supremacy over them. Alexander felt himself hit by this answer, and said, 'I a\|m not of your opinion in this respect. My idea is that, in order to obtain the love of one'\|s fellow-man, one must acquire might and power, and use them with discretion.' (9) Which is t\|he more agreeable abode--on land or water? Answer: Surely on land, because seafaring men ar\|e not happy and contented\|p. 17\|till they reach land. (10) Who amongst you is considered the wisest? Answer: In this respec\|t we are unable to give any one the preference, as you may have observed that our answers wer\|e unanimous and simultaneous.\|Alexander proceeded in argument with the wise men. 'Why,' he asked, 'are you so averse to hea\|thenism, seeing that the heathens greatly outnumber you?' To which he received the reply tha\|t it is just the multitude, the masses, who are apt to lose sight of truth, and it is only gi\|ven to a comparative few to perceive and understand pure truth. 'But,' he continued, 'it is i\|n my power to destroy the whole of you.' 'No doubt,' was the answer, 'you possess the power t\|o do so, but we are not apprehensive on that point, having once received the promise of you\|r protection.' He then consulted them concerning his projected journey to Africa. The wise me\|n answered, 'That you cannot reach, as it lies beyond the dark mountains, which no human foo\|t can traverse.' The king seemed to be piqued by this, and said, 'I do not ask you whethe\|r I shall or can traverse those mountains. My mind is made up, and there is no resistance t\|o my will. What I want to know is the best means known to man for undertaking this formidabl\|e expedition.' The wise men advised him to the best of their knowledge. Part of their advic\|e was to procure certain draught animals from Libya, which possess the faculty of seeing thei\|r way in darkness. The king, having adopted all the necessary measures, started for Africa. H\|e arrived at a place called the land of Amazon, whose inhabitants consisted only of women, t\|o whom he sent a declaration of war. The women sent a message to him that a war with them cou\|ld only be an inglorious one, inasmuch as if he were victorious a victory over women could no\|t bring him either fame or honour; whereas if they should be victorious, that would surely br\|ing disgrace upon him.\|p. 18\|The king saw the wisdom of their argument, and gave up the idea of war, but bade them suppl\|y him with bread. The women brought him lumps of gold in the shape of loaves of bread. The ki\|ng said in amazement 'Do you use this metal as bread?' They answered 'You surely have not com\|e all this distance merely for bread; is there no bread in your own country?'\|Alexander took his departure thence, but, before starting, he wrote on the gate of the city\|: 'I, Alexander of Macedonia, was a simpleton until I arrived at this gate, where I learnt wi\|sdom from women.' He next arrived at Katzia, where also he was met with presents of gold. '\|I want no gold of yours,' said Alexander to the chief. 'And to what other purpose have you co\|me all this great distance?' was the answer, given in the shape of a question. 'I have come,\|' said Alexander, 'to become acquainted with your manners and customs, especially with your a\|dministration of justice.'\|A remarkable case of litigation happened to be in progress in the place at this time. A man w\|ho had bought a house of another found in its precincts a treasure-trove, which he took bac\|k to the seller, saying: 'This is yours; I bought the house only, and not what may be found i\|n it.' The other, in refusing to accept the proffered treasure, argued that he sold the house\|, and the buyer was the rightful owner of all that might be found in it. The judge gave his d\|ecision that the son of the purchaser of the house should marry the daughter of the seller, a\|nd the young couple should receive the treasure as a dowry. As Alexander expressed his wonde\|r at and approval of the wise verdict, he was asked by the judge how a similar suit would b\|e decided in his own country. 'In my country,' replied Alexander, 'the treasure would be take\|n by the Crown, and both parties would be deterred by the threat of death from laying any cla\|im to it.' 'How,' said the judge, 'have you also rain and sunshine in your\|p. 19\|country?' 'Surely,' replied Alexander. 'And you possess also animals and fowls?' 'Why not?' a\|sked the Macedonian. 'Then,' remarked the judge, I must suppose that the purpose of the rai\|n and sunshine in your land is to sustain those harmless creatures; for you, the human inhabi\|tants, judging by your perverseness and injustice, are unworthy of such blessed gifts of natu\|re.'\|One day they arrived at a river, and as his servants were washing off the salt of the fish, w\|hich they carried with them for their august master, in the water of the river, they saw tha\|t life was returning to the fishes. When the marvellous event was reported to Alexander, he d\|etermined to find the source of that river. He pursued his way, and at last found a gate, whe\|re he demanded admittance. The answer he received to his demand was: 'This is the gate of th\|e Lord; the righteous shall enter therein,' and he concluded that it must be the gate of Para\|dise. As all his pleadings did not gain him admittance, he asked for some article from the pl\|ace as a token of his having arrived there. A lump of gold in the shape of a human eye was ha\|nded out to him, and on putting it in the scales to ascertain its remarkable weight, he foun\|d that whatever weight he might put on the opposite scale, it would not turn the scale on whi\|ch the golden eye was put. As soon as he met with the Rabbis again, he asked them to unriddl\|e this remarkable thing. The Rabbis told him to put a little earth over the eye, and its weig\|ht would vanish. They explained that the eye was a perfect type of the human eye, which, as t\|he wise king tells us (Prov. 27.), is never satisfied, until a little earth is put over it (i\|n death), and its everlasting hunger ceases. 1\|p. 20\|Alexander returned home from his great adventures through the wilderness and went to Egypt, w\|here he built the city of Alexandria. He was anxious for the Jews, whom he held in high estee\|m for their bravery and loyalty, to be among the settlers of the great city. Once, some Afric\|an tribe and some descendants of Ishmael laid complaints before him against the Jews. The Afr\|icans claimed the possession of Palestine, basing their claim on Numbers 34. 2 and on their b\|eing descendants of Canaan; they maintained that they had an undisputed right to the countr\|y of their ancestor. The sons of Ishmael, too, put in a claim to the possession of at leas\|t a portion of Palestine, as the land was promised to their grandfather Abraham (Gen. 25. 13)\|. And so the Egyptians bethought themselves of their claim against the Jews, and referred als\|o to a Scriptural passage (Exod. 12. 36).\|Alexander had the elders of the Jews summoned to him, and mentioned the claims of the respect\|ive parties against them. The Jews selected one named Gebeha, son of Psisa, as their defender\|. He faced the plaintiffs, and said: 'You have each based your claims on Scripture; I, too, w\|ill plead against you out of the books of Moses, our lawgiver. Regarding the Canaanites, we h\|ave it in Genesis 9. 25 that Canaan was cursed and was made a slave to his brothers. A slav\|e can possess no property of his own. As to the demand of the Ishmaelites, we have it also o\|n the same authority (Gen. 25. 5) that Abraham presented Isaac with all his possessions, an\|d to the children of his concubines he made presents and sent them away from his son Isaac.\|'Against the claims of the Egyptians, we have a huge counterclaim. The second book of Moses m\|entions the\|p. 21\|time of the Jewish compulsory servitude in Egypt as 430 years. We are fully prepared to resto\|re the value of what we carried away from Egypt, if the Egyptians will pay us the wages of 60\|0,000 men, whom they compelled to work for them for the period mentioned.'\|Alexander demanded a reply on the part of the three claimants against the Jewish arguments, w\|ithin three days, if they did not wish to be punished for making fictitious claims.\|Nothing more was heard of the claims. 1 The Jews rose in Alexander's esteem daily, and he gav\|e them the most beautiful part of the city, on the banks of the river, as their quarter, an\|d granted them the full rights of citizenship. The Jewish community increased greatly in weal\|th and numbers. A year later, at the battle of Arbela, a town in Chaldea, Alexander entirel\|y annihilated the Persian empire. After more wars and conquests, he died suddenly at the ag\|e of thirty-three. His death was brought about as much by revelry as by his many cares and bo\|dily exhaustion. Some of his generals contended for his throne; he was left unburied for som\|e time, and eventually no royal burial was his portion. The Macedonian monarchy was divided a\|mongst four of his generals.--Midr. Rabba Gen. 33; Lev. 27. and Tanchuma Emmor, etc.\|\|Footnotes\|14:1 See Rapoport's Erech Millin, page 73.\|15:1 There is a difference in the dates mentioned in the Talmud. In Taanis it i\|s stated as the 21st Kislev, and in Yoma 69 as the 28th of Tebeth.\|19:1 This allegory was conspicuously applicable to Alexander's career and charact\|er. However extensive were his conquests, he longed for more and was never satisfied, not eve\|r after the p. 20 plundering of Asia, not after receiving, in consequence of his great conque\|sts, the appellation of 'the great.' But with his death, his and his country's greatness ceas\|ed, the monstrous possessions were cut up, and none of his kin ascended the throne.\|21:1 Different dates are given for the above event. In Sanhed 91. it is given a\|s the 24th of Nisson, and in Taanis as the 25th of Sivon.\|\|Next: Demons \|(http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/tmm/tmm03.htm) deat: 10 Jun 0323 BC marr: marr:

Notes:

Source: Online Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pharaohs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabaka . Ruled 0721–0707/0706 BC according to Rolf Krauss/David Warburton[64] The great conqueror Assurnazirpal (884-860) consolidated his kingdom throughout the country o f the Two Rivers to the borders of Babylonia and took tribute from the western princes as fa r as Phoenicia, while his successor Shalmaneser II made many wars beyond the Euphrates. In 85 4 B.C. he defeated a great confederation of Syrian states with Damascus at its head, and in 8 42 he took tribute from Jehu, king of Israel, but no sustained attempt to incorporate Syria i n the empire was made till the reign of Tiglath-pileser II (745-727). In 738 he took tribut e from Damascus and Samaria (cf. 2 Kgs. 15: 19); in 734 these powers revolted and the resul t of a fresh war was the destruction of Damascus, the depopulation of Gilead and Naphtali ( 2 Kgs. 15: 29), and the acceptance of Assyrian suzerainty by Judah. There was now no independ ent state between Assyria and Egypt, nor had the latter power to check the progress of the vi ctor. But when Tiglath-pileser died, the Ethiopian So or Sebech (2 Kgs. 17: 4) had made himse lf lord of all Egypt and begun to foment a revolt in which Syria was involved together with P hilistia and Samaria, and which occupied the whole reign of Shalmaneser IV (727-722) and th e first years of his successor. The siege of Samaria, begun by Shalmaneser (2 Kgs. 17: 3 ff.) , was concluded by Sargon (722-705), a valiant prince, who smote the Egyptians at Raphia (720 ), and maintained and extended his borders on all sides. The king of Egypt during the final days of Israel, King So was approached by King Hoshea of I srael regarding a possible alliance against the Assyrians. Assyria got wind of the proposa l and invaded Palestine, snuffing out the nation of Israel. King So was perhaps one of the 2 5th Dynasty, and might also have been known as King Shabaka or KingShabataka. (Everyone in t he Bible, by William P. Barker; 1966)

It must be borne in mind that my design is not to write histories, but lives.\|...\|(http://www.4literature.net/Plutarch/Alexander/)\|Sacred Texts <../../index.htm> Judaism <../index.htm> Index Previous Next \|\|p. 8\|ALEXANDER OF MACEDON\|THE great conqueror Alexander the Macedonian, the son of Philip, who, at the instigation of t\|he Persians, was assassinated by Pisanius, when yet a boy showed great thirst for conquest. W\|hen he heard of his father's conquests he wept bitterly, complaining that by the time he assu\|med the crown there would be so little for him to conquer. He was barely twenty years old whe\|n he ascended the throne, but he knew well how to make his power felt. He soon conquered th\|e Thracians, as well as the rebellious Thebans, and his heroic qualities developed so rapidl\|y that he was appointed by the Greeks as military chief in their wars against the Persians. U\|ninterrupted success followed his arms, and had he not died at a comparatively early age he w\|ould probably have conquered what was then known as the whole world. His victory over the Per\|sian General Memnon, on the river Granicus, in the North-West of Asia Minor, opened for him t\|he road into the interior of further Asia. He was not slow to take advantage of the opportuni\|ty, and pushed rapidly through the States of Asia Minor, through Lydia and Ionia to Pamphylia\|. In the latter, near Issus, he gained a brilliant victory over Darius the Third, also know\|n as Codomanus, who narrowly escaped death, leaving his mother, his wife and his children i\|n the hands of the conqueror.\|The Macedonian hero, with his troops intoxicated with victory after victory, now entered Syri\|a, not so much in pursuit of Darius as with a view to extending\|p. 9\|his conquests. He took Damascus and Sidon, and attacked Tyre, so as to become master of the s\|ea also.\|That city, however, being very strongly fortified, and being on one side protected by the sea\|, offered a stubborn resistance, and Alexander found himself compelled to embark on a long si\|ege. In order to prevent any untoward event during the siege, Alexander was anxious to ensur\|e immunity from the neighbouring State.\|He therefore sent a message to Jerusalem, with a letter to the High Priest Jedua with the fol\|lowing requests: (1) To supply him with troops; (2) to allow free traffic between the Macedon\|ian army and Jerusalem; (3) to give him every possible assistance, such as had been granted t\|o Darius. A hint was also thrown out that the High Priest would do well to consider whose fri\|endship and goodwill was of greater value--that of the victor, or that of the vanquished.\|The letter further expressed Alexander's anticipation of having these modest requests granted\|, and assured the Jews that they would have no reason to regret compliance. The Jews could no\|t but know that it would be greatly to their advantage to be on good terms with this famous h\|ero, and that the beaten Persian could neither benefit nor injure them. Yet they did not fee\|l justified in deserting the Persians. The High Priest therefore indited something like the f\|ollowing answer:--\|'Recognition and high esteem are undoubtedly due to so glorious a hero, yet for the present t\|he Jews of Jerusalem cannot comply with his wishes, for these reasons: We Jews have promise\|d our loyalty, on our oath, to Darius. So long as that Prince lives the oath has its force, a\|nd the Jews could commit no sin so grievous as wilful perjury, seeing that one of their comma\|ndments, with which God has entrusted them, is this: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lor\|d thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless\|p. 10\|that taketh His name in vain."' The High Priest moreover mentioned instances--such as Zedekia\|h, the last King of Judah, who became disloyal to the Babylonian ruler, his former allegianc\|e notwithstanding, and brought calamity upon himself and upon Judea. He further pointed out t\|hat Moses' teaching tends to show that the God of Israel is a God of Truth, that treachery an\|d untruth bring misfortune on those who practise them, and that it is incumbent on every tru\|e adherent of the teaching of Moses to avoid all falsehood and duplicity. Alexander would per\|haps have been satisfied with the explanation offered by the High Priest Jedua, had it not be\|en for the Samaritans, who, whilst practising all sorts of idolatry, were at the same time an\|xious to unite with the Jews, and to be considered as a portion of that body. When the Jews r\|epudiated them, they sought to set up a temple of their own on the model of the Jerusalem Tem\|ple. Menasseh, a brother of Jedua, formerly a priest, having married a Samaritan woman, the d\|aughter of a Samaritan governor, was deprived of his office of priest in the temple, and wa\|s naturally all the more anxious to set up an opposition temple, in which he could exercise h\|is priestly function. The Samaritans therefore strained every nerve to excite Alexander's ill\|will against the Jews, and to obtain his sanction for the erection of a temple on Mount Geriz\|im.\|Sanblat, the Governor of Samaria, and father-in-law of Menasseh, the expelled priest, sough\|t audience of Alexander, and took the opportunity to give his version of the motives of Jedua\|, the High Priest, in refusing Alexander's requests. He maintained that loyalty to Darius wa\|s not the motive of the refusal, as the Jews, he said, knew nothing of loyalty, but, on the c\|ontrary, would overthrow every throne not occupied by one of their own people if they had th\|e power. He said that they were priest-ridden, and that if there were any who\|p. 11\|would join his (Alexander's) army, they dared not venture it, as that would exclude them fro\|m participating in the Temple service, which to them meant moral death. If he (the Macedonian\|) would only secure an alternative to the Jerusalem Temple by sanctioning the opposition Temp\|le which the Samaritans were anxious to set up, this would bring large numbers from Jerusale\|m to the new Temple; and the newcomers, no longer fearing exclusion from the Jerusalem servic\|e, would gladly join with the Samaritans the banner of the great conqueror Alexander. It is p\|erhaps not surprising that the Macedonian conqueror was much impressed with this plausible ve\|rsion, especially when the Samaritans, as an earnest of their acceptance of and adhesion to t\|he new state of affairs, deserted en masse the ranks of the crushed Darius, and went over t\|o Alexander's army.\|The desired permission for the building of the Gerizim Temple was granted, and the work was t\|aken in band. Soon afterwards, however, the governor, who was a man of advanced age, died. Ty\|re could no longer resist the severe siege, and, as predicted by the prophet (Is. 27), it cap\|itulated. Indescribable slaughter and ravage took place within its walls; the town was laid i\|n ruins, and its heroes were either slaughtered or taken as slaves.\|Alexander now turned his attention to the punishment of the Jews, and started with his ever-v\|ictorious army for Jerusalem. When the news of the approach of Alexander and his formidable a\|rmy reached Jerusalem, there was consternation, and despair ruled supreme amongst the inhabit\|ants, one and all. The Jews took refuge, as ever, in their religion; prayer, fasting, sackclo\|th and ashes were the order of the day. Confession of sin and repentance were practised dail\|y by almost every person. When Alexander was but about one day's distance from Jerusalem, th\|e High Priest and Elders of the Temple had the streets of the\|p. 12\|city beautifully decorated, the public buildings as well as the private residences were magni\|ficently adorned, and they ordered the inhabitants to form two lines in the streets--one oppo\|site the other--the people to appear in their holiday attire. The gates of the city were bede\|cked with garlands of the finest flowers, and triumphal arches were erected. The priests, th\|e Levites and the Elders, at their head the venerable High Priest Jedua in full priestly robe\|s, mitre, ephod and breastplate, made their way, towards evening, to the entrance of the city\|, carrying torches and candles in their hands, and a light was thrown on the brilliant assemb\|ly such as eclipsed the noonday brightness of a magnificent summer's day.\|Soon after their arrival at the gate, Alexander, at the head of his army, made his appearance\|. He was quite astonished at the sight that met his view, and seemed to be overwhelmed on beh\|olding the grand and imposing assembly that came to meet him. When he saw the High Priest, wh\|o looked even as an angel in his garments, Alexander dismounted, as though impelled by an ins\|tinct, bowed himself reverently, and proclaimed aloud: 'Blessed be the God whose servant yo\|u are.' His army, however, having anticipated plunder rather than the sight before them, coul\|d ill conceal their bewilderment at the strange turn of affairs. They could hardly believe, o\|n the evidence of their own senses, that their proud monarch should bend his head so humbly a\|nd so reverently before the High Priest. One of Alexander's confidential and favourite office\|rs, Parmenion by name, ventured at last to ask the King why he, the proud conqueror, showed s\|uch marked honour and deference to the Jewish priest.\|'Listen, then,' replied Alexander, 'and I will tell you of a wonderful experience of mine. Wh\|ile I was still in Macedonia I often lay awake at night, when all else was at rest, thinkin\|g of a plan by which to gain mastery\|p. 13\|of Asia. One evening, when my thoughts were more than usually occupied with this fond schem\|e of mine, I fell, exhausted by this mental strain, into a deep slumber, and saw in a visio\|n an awe-inspiring man standing before me. The very sight of him seemed to instil into me cou\|rage and hope, and, as though reading my very thoughts, he advised me to cross the borders o\|f Greece without further hesitation, and assured me of the success of my projected undertakin\|g. That vision of mine was no myth, no nightmare, not the mere phantasy of a heated brain; fo\|r not only have I, since that vision, never met with anything but victory, but in the hoar-he\|aded and venerable servant of the Jewish God, in his attire and in his bearing, I see no othe\|r than the man of my vision. Shall I not then revere the man who was the messenger of his Go\|d to lead me to victory? I am equally convinced that my destiny is to overthrow Darius, and f\|or that purpose I was called to undertake this venture, and the appearance of this holy man f\|oretells complete success.' After this explanation, Alexander entered Jerusalem, accompanie\|d by the Jewish dignitaries who came to meet him. He was welcomed and cheered throughout by t\|he population of the city. His first request was to be taken to the Temple, where he anxiousl\|y inquired concerning the ceremonies and sacrifices and the manner of the services.\|His curiosity was gladly satisfied, and the High Priest directed his attention also to the pa\|ssage in Daniel 8. 5, where it is foretold that a Greek ruler (which term the High Priest app\|lied to Alexander) would overthrow the Persian kingdom, and Alexander was exceedingly please\|d with all he saw and heard. The following day the Macedonian hero summoned all the priests a\|nd elders, and asked them to tell him, without restraint and hesitation, what they wished o\|f him as a token of his great satisfaction at the reception given him, and as a mark of his h\|igh estimation of their\|p. 14\|services and organization. The High Priest, who was the spokesman, asked his Majesty to gran\|t them the free and unhindered exercise of their religious rites, and to waive the payment o\|f taxes in the Sabbatical year, when, according to the law of Moses, no agricultural pursuit\|s were allowed, and consequently there was no revenue from their lands. This was at once gran\|ted; but Alexander observed from Jedua's demeanour that there was some further favour he wish\|ed to obtain, but that the good man was reluctant to name it. He therefore requested the Hig\|h Priest to lay all his wishes before him. The High Priest then ventured to ask that the grea\|t monarch might extend his permission regarding the exercise of the religious rites by his Je\|wish subjects to all other parts of his wide dominions, such as Babylon and Media, and this w\|as also cheerfully granted by the great Alexander. At the express wish of the Macedonian warr\|ior, a large number of the most valiant of the Jewish community joined his army, and he gav\|e them permission to follow their religious observances in the camp. As a further favour, Ale\|xander requested that his likeness might be framed and placed in the Temple. It was pointed o\|ut to him that the Jews were strictly forbidden to have pictures and likenesses of anything w\|hatever in their places of worship, and, in lieu of this, it was suggested (1) that all mal\|e children born in that year throughout Jerusalem should be named Alexander, and (2) that th\|e Jews should adopt a new era called the Alexander Era. That era was to commence with Octobe\|r 1 of the year 312 before the Christian era. This suggestion met with Alexander's approval\|, and up to the eleventh century of the Christian era this method of reckoning the years wa\|s actually in force, and was known as the Era of Documents. 1\|With Alexander's entry into Jerusalem began a very\|p. 15\|considerable improvement in the condition of the Jews. 1 The Samaritans used every subterfug\|e in order to be recognized as Jews by the Macedonian hero, so that they might enjoy the priv\|ileges and advantages bestowed on the latter, but they failed to convince Alexander, who reme\|mbered their efforts to prejudice him against the Jews, that they were of the same people. 'I\|f you are indeed Jews,' he asked, 'how is it that you are not known by that name?' 'We are,\|' they insisted, 'descendants of the Patriarch Jacob, and Israel's God is our God; but the Si\|domites call us Samaritans, and we are also known to them by the name of Shechemites, after o\|ur capital Shechem.'\|Alexander was not satisfied with their answer, and told them that he could not recognize the\|m as Jews, and to the Jews alone he had granted the privileges which the Samaritans sought t\|o obtain. He asked them to leave the matter in abeyance till his return from the long journe\|y he was about to undertake, and on his return he would thoroughly investigate their claim, a\|nd then see that justice was done to them. The Samaritans were dissatisfied with Alexander'\|s treatment of them, and they rebelled and burned the Governor Andromachus in his own palace\|. Alexander's anger at this was very great; he returned, put to death the leaders, exiled a n\|umber of Samaritans to Egypt, where they formed a colony in Thebais, and handed a large numbe\|r of them over to the Jews as slaves, as a reward for their tried loyalty.\|Alexander of Macedonia, be it remembered, was by no means a mere uncouth warrior whose knowle\|dge did not extend beyond the narrow compass of the battlefield, for the vast dominion of ar\|t and science was an open book to him. From his thirteenth to his eighteenth\|p. 16\|year he was a pupil of Aristotle, who guided him through all branches of wisdom and knowledge\|, and inspired in him a love for Homer's works, which in fact he always carried with him. A\|s a consequence, he naturally had a longing for intercourse with the educated and learned me\|n of every place which he visited. Arrived in the South, his first step was to have the men d\|istinguished for their wisdom brought before him. To them he put the following ten questions\|: (1) Which is the longer distance--from the earth to the skies, or from the east of the worl\|d to the west? Answer: The last-mentioned is the longer, because if the sun stands in the Eas\|t or in the West, then he is perceived in the half of each sphere; but if he is in the centr\|e of the sky, then he is not visible everywhere. Consequently he must be higher in the forme\|r case than in the latter. (2) Which was created first--the heavens or the earth? Answer: Th\|e Almighty clearly commenced His work with the heavens, for is it not said, 'In the beginnin\|g God created the heavens and the earth'? (3) Who is truly wise? Answer: He who can foresee t\|he result of his acts is truly a wise man. (4) Who is truly strong? Answer: Strength is in th\|e possession of him who can overcome his passions. (5) Who can be considered truly rich? Answ\|er: Truly rich is he who possesses contentment. (6) How can man acquire true life? Answer: Tr\|ue life can be obtained by deadening one's passions. (7) What hastens man's death? Answer: In\|dulgence in earthly pleasures. (8) How can man obtain the love of his fellow-men? Answer: B\|y not seeking supremacy over them. Alexander felt himself hit by this answer, and said, 'I a\|m not of your opinion in this respect. My idea is that, in order to obtain the love of one'\|s fellow-man, one must acquire might and power, and use them with discretion.' (9) Which is t\|he more agreeable abode--on land or water? Answer: Surely on land, because seafaring men ar\|e not happy and contented\|p. 17\|till they reach land. (10) Who amongst you is considered the wisest? Answer: In this respec\|t we are unable to give any one the preference, as you may have observed that our answers wer\|e unanimous and simultaneous.\|Alexander proceeded in argument with the wise men. 'Why,' he asked, 'are you so averse to hea\|thenism, seeing that the heathens greatly outnumber you?' To which he received the reply tha\|t it is just the multitude, the masses, who are apt to lose sight of truth, and it is only gi\|ven to a comparative few to perceive and understand pure truth. 'But,' he continued, 'it is i\|n my power to destroy the whole of you.' 'No doubt,' was the answer, 'you possess the power t\|o do so, but we are not apprehensive on that point, having once received the promise of you\|r protection.' He then consulted them concerning his projected journey to Africa. The wise me\|n answered, 'That you cannot reach, as it lies beyond the dark mountains, which no human foo\|t can traverse.' The king seemed to be piqued by this, and said, 'I do not ask you whethe\|r I shall or can traverse those mountains. My mind is made up, and there is no resistance t\|o my will. What I want to know is the best means known to man for undertaking this formidabl\|e expedition.' The wise men advised him to the best of their knowledge. Part of their advic\|e was to procure certain draught animals from Libya, which possess the faculty of seeing thei\|r way in darkness. The king, having adopted all the necessary measures, started for Africa. H\|e arrived at a place called the land of Amazon, whose inhabitants consisted only of women, t\|o whom he sent a declaration of war. The women sent a message to him that a war with them cou\|ld only be an inglorious one, inasmuch as if he were victorious a victory over women could no\|t bring him either fame or honour; whereas if they should be victorious, that would surely br\|ing disgrace upon him.\|p. 18\|The king saw the wisdom of their argument, and gave up the idea of war, but bade them suppl\|y him with bread. The women brought him lumps of gold in the shape of loaves of bread. The ki\|ng said in amazement 'Do you use this metal as bread?' They answered 'You surely have not com\|e all this distance merely for bread; is there no bread in your own country?'\|Alexander took his departure thence, but, before starting, he wrote on the gate of the city\|: 'I, Alexander of Macedonia, was a simpleton until I arrived at this gate, where I learnt wi\|sdom from women.' He next arrived at Katzia, where also he was met with presents of gold. '\|I want no gold of yours,' said Alexander to the chief. 'And to what other purpose have you co\|me all this great distance?' was the answer, given in the shape of a question. 'I have come,\|' said Alexander, 'to become acquainted with your manners and customs, especially with your a\|dministration of justice.'\|A remarkable case of litigation happened to be in progress in the place at this time. A man w\|ho had bought a house of another found in its precincts a treasure-trove, which he took bac\|k to the seller, saying: 'This is yours; I bought the house only, and not what may be found i\|n it.' The other, in refusing to accept the proffered treasure, argued that he sold the house\|, and the buyer was the rightful owner of all that might be found in it. The judge gave his d\|ecision that the son of the purchaser of the house should marry the daughter of the seller, a\|nd the young couple should receive the treasure as a dowry. As Alexander expressed his wonde\|r at and approval of the wise verdict, he was asked by the judge how a similar suit would b\|e decided in his own country. 'In my country,' replied Alexander, 'the treasure would be take\|n by the Crown, and both parties would be deterred by the threat of death from laying any cla\|im to it.' 'How,' said the judge, 'have you also rain and sunshine in your\|p. 19\|country?' 'Surely,' replied Alexander. 'And you possess also animals and fowls?' 'Why not?' a\|sked the Macedonian. 'Then,' remarked the judge, I must suppose that the purpose of the rai\|n and sunshine in your land is to sustain those harmless creatures; for you, the human inhabi\|tants, judging by your perverseness and injustice, are unworthy of such blessed gifts of natu\|re.'\|One day they arrived at a river, and as his servants were washing off the salt of the fish, w\|hich they carried with them for their august master, in the water of the river, they saw tha\|t life was returning to the fishes. When the marvellous event was reported to Alexander, he d\|etermined to find the source of that river. He pursued his way, and at last found a gate, whe\|re he demanded admittance. The answer he received to his demand was: 'This is the gate of th\|e Lord; the righteous shall enter therein,' and he concluded that it must be the gate of Para\|dise. As all his pleadings did not gain him admittance, he asked for some article from the pl\|ace as a token of his having arrived there. A lump of gold in the shape of a human eye was ha\|nded out to him, and on putting it in the scales to ascertain its remarkable weight, he foun\|d that whatever weight he might put on the opposite scale, it would not turn the scale on whi\|ch the golden eye was put. As soon as he met with the Rabbis again, he asked them to unriddl\|e this remarkable thing. The Rabbis told him to put a little earth over the eye, and its weig\|ht would vanish. They explained that the eye was a perfect type of the human eye, which, as t\|he wise king tells us (Prov. 27.), is never satisfied, until a little earth is put over it (i\|n death), and its everlasting hunger ceases. 1\|p. 20\|Alexander returned home from his great adventures through the wilderness and went to Egypt, w\|here he built the city of Alexandria. He was anxious for the Jews, whom he held in high estee\|m for their bravery and loyalty, to be among the settlers of the great city. Once, some Afric\|an tribe and some descendants of Ishmael laid complaints before him against the Jews. The Afr\|icans claimed the possession of Palestine, basing their claim on Numbers 34. 2 and on their b\|eing descendants of Canaan; they maintained that they had an undisputed right to the countr\|y of their ancestor. The sons of Ishmael, too, put in a claim to the possession of at leas\|t a portion of Palestine, as the land was promised to their grandfather Abraham (Gen. 25. 13)\|. And so the Egyptians bethought themselves of their claim against the Jews, and referred als\|o to a Scriptural passage (Exod. 12. 36).\|Alexander had the elders of the Jews summoned to him, and mentioned the claims of the respect\|ive parties against them. The Jews selected one named Gebeha, son of Psisa, as their defender\|. He faced the plaintiffs, and said: 'You have each based your claims on Scripture; I, too, w\|ill plead against you out of the books of Moses, our lawgiver. Regarding the Canaanites, we h\|ave it in Genesis 9. 25 that Canaan was cursed and was made a slave to his brothers. A slav\|e can possess no property of his own. As to the demand of the Ishmaelites, we have it also o\|n the same authority (Gen. 25. 5) that Abraham presented Isaac with all his possessions, an\|d to the children of his concubines he made presents and sent them away from his son Isaac.\|'Against the claims of the Egyptians, we have a huge counterclaim. The second book of Moses m\|entions the\|p. 21\|time of the Jewish compulsory servitude in Egypt as 430 years. We are fully prepared to resto\|re the value of what we carried away from Egypt, if the Egyptians will pay us the wages of 60\|0,000 men, whom they compelled to work for them for the period mentioned.'\|Alexander demanded a reply on the part of the three claimants against the Jewish arguments, w\|ithin three days, if they did not wish to be punished for making fictitious claims.\|Nothing more was heard of the claims. 1 The Jews rose in Alexander's esteem daily, and he gav\|e them the most beautiful part of the city, on the banks of the river, as their quarter, an\|d granted them the full rights of citizenship. The Jewish community increased greatly in weal\|th and numbers. A year later, at the battle of Arbela, a town in Chaldea, Alexander entirel\|y annihilated the Persian empire. After more wars and conquests, he died suddenly at the ag\|e of thirty-three. His death was brought about as much by revelry as by his many cares and bo\|dily exhaustion. Some of his generals contended for his throne; he was left unburied for som\|e time, and eventually no royal burial was his portion. The Macedonian monarchy was divided a\|mongst four of his generals.--Midr. Rabba Gen. 33; Lev. 27. and Tanchuma Emmor, etc.\|\|Footnotes\|14:1 See Rapoport's Erech Millin, page 73.\|15:1 There is a difference in the dates mentioned in the Talmud. In Taanis it i\|s stated as the 21st Kislev, and in Yoma 69 as the 28th of Tebeth.\|19:1 This allegory was conspicuously applicable to Alexander's career and charact\|er. However extensive were his conquests, he longed for more and was never satisfied, not eve\|r after the p. 20 plundering of Asia, not after receiving, in consequence of his great conque\|sts, the appellation of 'the great.' But with his death, his and his country's greatness ceas\|ed, the monstrous possessions were cut up, and none of his kin ascended the throne.\|21:1 Different dates are given for the above event. In Sanhed 91. it is given a\|s the 24th of Nisson, and in Taanis as the 25th of Sivon.\|\|Next: Demons \|(http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/tmm/tmm03.htm) deat: 10 Jun 0323 BC marr: marr:
