Money in Hebrew is called Kesef (כסף).

The currency used in Israel is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS).

In Hebrew it is called Shekel Chadash (שקל חדש) or Shekel (שקל) for short.

Shekels are printed on notes or bills of 200, 100, 50 and 20 Shekalim (שקלים).

They are also minted in 10, 5 and 2 Shekalim coins as well as 1 Shekel coins.

A Shekel is composed of 100 Arugot (ארוגות).

Arugot are minted in 50 and 10 Arugot coins.

The 50 Arugot coin is called a Half Shekel or Chatzi Shekel (חצי שקל).

Was David the King of Israel a singer?

The Bible doesn't say that he sang. It does say that he was a musician and he wrote many songs. I would guess that he did sing.


What did Ahmadinejad say about Israel?

Ahmadinejad has said numerous things about Israel, none of them pleasant and many of them are considered incitements to violence. His most famous statement is "Israel will be wiped off the map." Most Iranian Government Officials and Iranian-sympathizers note that it is in the passive voice, and claim that it is a historical statement. Those who oppose the Iranian State say that this along with shouts of "Death to Israel", "Israel is the Little Satan", etc. and direct monetary and military arms support to Hezbollah and Hamas show a direct intent to be part of the "wiping Israel off the map". They further claim that the passive sentence structure is to obfuscate this intent. Ahmadinejad also does not usually refer to Israel by name, instead considering it the "Zionist entity", the "Zionist Occupier", the "Jewish Murderers", etc.


Who was the southern king of Israel?

The question as posed is impossible to answer. Reasons: Israel was the Northern Kingdom and Judah was the Southern Kingdom. As a result it is hard to tell which one you are referring to when you say "The Southern Kingdom of Israel". Secondly the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah reigned for a few hundred years and therefore had many kings. Without specifying an exact event or year or period, it would be impossible to know which king you want to know about.
