In the Bible Who was Jonathan's mother Bible?
If you are talking about Jonathan, Saul's son, then I don't think it tells you who she is but if you look for who Saul married than assume that she is Jonathan's mother. Jonathan was the eldest and favorite son of Benjamite King Saul, evidently by Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. (1Sa 14:49, 50) Jonathan is chiefly noted for his unselfish friendship for and support of David as Jehovah's king-designate.
Who was Jehu in the bible?
Jehu was the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi (2Kings 9:14) and he ruled as king of Israel from about 904 to 877 B.C.E. For the most part he carried out God's orders to clean up Israel by destroying the house of Ahab and his wicked wife, Jezebel, along with their followers(2Kings 9:1-10) effectively ridding Israel of Baal worship for a time.
Who was the apostle Paul?
1 SAMUEL 9:1-2(NEW KING JAMES VERSION)It says in the chapter and verse-There was a man of Benjamin whose name was KISH the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he (KISH) had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. The Above anser is ENTIRELY INCORRECT. That is the lineage of King Saul who was King before King David. They lived about 1,000 years before the Saul who became the Apostle Paul. I haven't found any record of the Father of Paul, but if I do then I will let you know.

Esther:2:5-7: 5: Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; 6: Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 7: And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. The Bible does not say.
When Saul became Paul he was what?
A Benjamite of the city of Tarsus in Asia Minor who persecuted Christ's followers but later became an apostle of Jesus Christ. (Acts 9:1, 4, 17; 11:25; 21:39; Philippians 3:5) In all of his letters he referred to himself by his Latin name Paul. He was a Roman citizen from birth (Acts 22:28), his father having perhaps been granted citizenship for services rendered. Paul probably learned the trade of tentmaker from his father. (Acts 18:3) But, at Jerusalem, he received instruction from the learned Pharisee Gamaliel, suggesting that Paul was from a prominent family. (Acts 22:3; 5:34)
Can you give me examples for analogies?
Examples of Analogies, or Reverse AnalogiesI'll share a scary Biblical story example:STORY--------Take the scary story in the Bible Old Testament (Judges chp 19-21) about the concubine from Bethlehem who ran away from her Levite owner. The man catches up with her on her way back home to live with her father. As the man and his concubine are returning home, they, and their donkeys, finally find a place to spend the night at a stranger's home in a Benjamite town. There was no place to spend the night at the town square there. The stranger has a virgin daughter.During the night, local Benjamite perverts try to get in the door to have sex with the man who owns the concubine. Fearing rape himself, he opens the door and pushes his concubine outside with the rapists and locks the door all night. The rapists have their way with the woman all night and ravage her to death.Next morning, the owner of the concubine is not that concerned his concubine wife was killed, but wants the death avenged anyway. So he cuts her up into 12 pieces with his knife and sends a piece to each of the 12 different tribes of Israel.Israel collectively demands that the Benjamites hand over the rapists, but they refuse. So Israel collectively kills all Benjamite men, women, and children except for a remnant of men.Israel does not wish to see the tribe of Benjamin become extinct, so they tell the remnant of men left alive to go kidnap wives for themselves, which they do.RAPE, MURDER, DISMEMBERMENT, HARBORING CRIMINALS, KIDNAPPING.Nice story! Thanks God for sharing it!"Now isn't that Special." - Church Lady, Saturday Night LiveDISCUSSION----------------But wait. Perhaps this story is a multifaceted reverse analogy.Yes, it is very much like a very difficult platform dive in Olympic competition.The concubine is a reverse analogy of Christ Jesus the Messiah.An earthly concubine woman belongs to an earthly man and has no inheritance, whereas, conversely, Jesus was a heavenly man who belonged to God and inherited everything from God.The unconcerned husband of the dead concubine wife is a reverse analogy of our very concerned Heavenly Father God. God is very concerned for our Salvation. The reason it appears that the husband of the concubine is unconcerned over her death at the hands of evil men is because, according to Isaiah Ch. 53, It pleased God for Jesus to die. God sort of threw Jesus out of Heaven to Earth (so to speak) and locked the door so that Jesus would die at the hands of evil men.The cutting up of the concubine (Jesus) into 12 pieces represents the 12 Disciples (branches) cut off from the main vine Jesus after his death. The 12 pieces (Disciples) are sent to the House of Israel. The Jews don't like what they see and hear in this story, nor did they like hearing the Gospel and seeing the Miracles being performed by the Disciples centuries later.The change of heart of the Jews (House of Israel) desiring the remnant of Benjamites left alive to be perpetuated through the kidnapping of wives represents the ruthless Pharisee Saul turned Apostle Paul becoming a Christian himself and starting Gentile churches which become the surrogate Brides of Christ.The Apostle Paul was a Benjamite. He says it himself in his letters.This story is interesting because it mentions a virgin, and donkeys, and straw, and Bethlehem, the town where Christ Jesus the Messiah was born. And the husband and his concubine wife have trouble finding lodging in the town square. Kind of reminiscent of the virgin birth of Jesus. No room at the Inn.Finally, we have to ask why would 65,000 Israelites have to die to avenge for the death of 1 concubine woman. The answer is that, not that the many died for Jesus (a reverse concubine), but rather Jesus died for the many.
What accomplishment of Paul tarsus?
In Hebrew, Saul, born at Tarsus which was in Cilicia in the beginning of the 1st Century, was a Benjamite trained as a Pharisee in the faith of the Jews and was a tentmaker by trait (Phil. 3:5; Acts 18:3). He studied the Law under the famous Gamaliel at Jerusalem and was a persecutor of the early Christians. He was converted near Damascus (Acts 5:34; 7:58) and was specially commissioned by Jesus to become Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles (Acts 26:13-20). Paul travelled a vast area bringing the Good News to these Gentiles in Asia Minor, Greece, some believe France, Spain and Britain, and finally in Rome where he was martyred in the late 60s AD. Fourteen (14) letters/epistles are attributed to him - the most prolific of authors. Paul amplified the Christian faith. Some of his writings are often misapplied like Romans and Galatians. His deeper works are in Thessalonicans.
What is a reverse analogy?
It means a backwords analogy.BrothersAgainstPaul says:----------------------------------I would like to offer a second (2nd) possible answer, but in order to express it, I need to use an example to demonstrate:The Bible Old Testament Book of Judges, Chapters 19-21, has a story that is hard to see the meaning of it except in an UGLY WAY. Sort of like the picture of the ugly old hag that is obvious to everyone but hard to see the picture of the beautiful young woman in the same picture. Hope everyone has seen that picture floating around?Take the UGLY story in the Old Testament (Judges chp 19-21) about the concubine from Bethlehem who ran away from her Levite owner. The man catches up with her on her way back home to live with her father. As the man and his concubine are returning home, they, and their donkies, finally find a place to spend the night at a stranger's home in a Benjamite town. There was no place to spend the night at the town square there, but a stranger, with a virgin daughter, takes them in.During the night, local Benjamite perverts try to get in the door to have sex with the man who owns the concubine (like the Sodom & Gomorrah story in a way). Fearing rape himself, he opens the door and pushes his concubine outside with the rapists and locks the door all night. The rapists have their way with the concubine all night and ravage her to death.Next morning, the owner of the concubine is not that concerned his concubine wife was killed, but wants the death avenged anyway. So he cuts her up into 12 pieces and sends a piece to each of the 12 different tribes of Israel.Israel collectively demands that the Benjamites hand over the rapists, but they refuse. So Israel collectively kills all Benjamite men, women, and children except for a remnant of men.Israel does not wish to see the tribe of Benjamin become extinct, so they tell the remnant of men left alive to go kidnap wives for themselves, which they do.But wait. Perhaps this story is a triple or quadruple reverse analogy.Yes, it is very much like a very difficult platform dive in Olympic competition.The concubine is a reverse analogy of Christ Jesus the Messiah.A concubine is an earthly woman who belongs to a man and has no inheritance whereas, conversely, Jesus was a heavenly man who belonged to God and inherited everything from God.The unconcerned master of the dead concubine is a reverse analogy of our very concerned Heavenly Father God. God is very concerned for our Salvation.The reason it appears that the master of the concubine is unconcerned over her death at the hands of evil men is because, according to Isaiah Ch. 53, It pleased God for Jesus to die. God sort of threw Jesus (so to speak) out of Heaven to Earth and locked the door so that Jesus would die at the hands of evil men.The cutting up of the concubine (Jesus) into 12 pieces represents the 12 Disciples (branches) cut off from the main vine Jesus after his death. The 12 pieces (Disciples) are sent to the House of Israel. The Jews don't like what they see and hear in this story, nor did they like hearing the Gospel and seeing the Miracles being performed by the Disciples centuries later.The change of heart of the Jews (House of Israel) desiring the remnant of Benjamites left alive to be perpetuated through the kidnapping of wives represents the Ruthless Pharisee Saul turned Apostle Paul becoming a Christian himself and starting Gentile churches which become the surrogate Brides of Christ.The Apostle Paul was a Benjamite. He says it himself in his letters.This story is interesting because it mentions a virgin, and donkeys, and straw, and Bethlehem, the town where Christ Jesus the Messiah was born. And the husband and his concubine wife have trouble finding lodging in the town square. Kind of reminiscent of the virgin birth of Jesus. No room at the Inn.One other thought worth mentioning about this story was why would 65,000 Israelites have to die to avenge for the death of a single concubine wife? Perhaps God is trying to tell the Jews that Salvation was paid for them at a very high price. Not that the many died for Christ, but rather, Christ died for the many. Another reverse analogy.
