What was response of the men of jabesh gilead?
They told Nahash (the Ammonite king) to give them seven days to see if any of the (other) Israelites would come to their aid. See 1 Samuel ch.11.
What are the victories of King Saul?
About a month after Saul was anointed by the prophet Samuel as King, (according to the reading of the Greek Septuagint and Dead Sea Scroll 4QSama in 1Samuel 10:27b) Ammonite King Nahash demanded the surrender of Jabesh in Gilead. When messengers brought news of this to Saul, God's spirit became operative upon him. He quickly rallied an army of 330,000 men and led it to victory. Then there were the battles against the Philistines (1Samuels 14:52). With God's help, Saul and his son Jonathan gained victories over them in the area extending from Michmash to Aijalon. (1Samuels 13:23-14:23, 31)

Who is nahash?
The short answer is 'several people'. Nahash, coming from a root word meaning 'serpent', was a unisex name; like 'Lesley' it could be either a boy or girl's name. In the ancient Levant (Bible lands of Palestine), the bible mentions 2 specific persons in 2nd Samuel chapters 10-12. The first Nahash was King of Ammon, and suffered a minor defeat by King Saul; two of his sons eventually succeeded him during the reign of King David (1077-1037 BC). The second Nahash was the parent of David's two older half-sisters, Zeruiah and Abigail. If that Nahash was female, she was David's mother, if male, the former husband of David's mother (his father, of course, was Jesse). Scholars generally believe Nahash was the (possibly) non-Israelite father of David's half-sisters and that his mother was a widow with two young daughters when she married Jesse. The text of the Bible is ambiguous on the second Nahash's gender, perhaps deliberately so. Later on, some scholars (with no evidence but considerable vehemence) insisted Nahash was another name of Jesse, which is highly unlikely. However, it is possible that as an enemy of Saul, David was given shelter by King Nahash, despite the Ammonites technically being considered reprehensible by the ancient Israelites. As today, names tended to be familial, tribal, national; perhaps David got a warm welcome from the Ammonite king because his two half-sisters were Nahash's relatives-possibly as close as nieces or granddaughters through a dead namesake son. Nahash wasn't a popular Hebrew name, though not entirely unheard of. It would have been highly inconvenient for later Rabbis of the more radical type to have it known that the glorious King David's mother a) was married to someone else before Jesse, b) that her first husband was a non-Jew, c) that he belonged to the despised Ammonites and d) was probably/possibly a member of the Ammon Royal Family. Of course that theory is just conjecture, but it could account for the deliberate ambiguity that David's family is treated with in the Bible, which is unusual given that usually great clarity was utilised to establish relationships. For example, David was born in 1107 BC, and was only 14 when he first encountered Saul and Jonathan, in 1094-3BC. Although he and Jonathan became great friends, they did not even register each other's existence until David became a semi-permanent member of Saul's royal retinue 18 months later in 1092 BC. The point is however that in 1194 BC, David's father Jesse was "already old amongst men" (1st Samuel 17:12). Since the Israelites were accustomed to persons living lifespans of 70-80 years, Jesse must have been at least 85 years old in 1192 BC for his lifespan to have been so noteworthy. In short, Jesse was either not monogamous, or he had been widowed at least once (like David's mother) and David's mother had to be at least 40 years younger that Jesse (b.abt 1180-1175 BC) to have been of childbearing age in 1107, when she had David. Given she already had two young daughters, it is likely she was probably in her late 20s/early 30s in 1107 bC. It is therefore highly likely that at least Jesse's 3 eldest sons, Eliab, Abinadab and Shimmea, if not more, were also half-brothers of David, by an earlier or the primary wife of Jesse. Altogether he had 8 sons, though the 7th born died without any children and is unnamed in the bible. As a man "mighty in wealth", Jesse might have been tempted to have wives and concubines, and he was also unlikely to have many rivals for his fortune; his father Obed was the son of Boaz (an extremely rich Israelite) and Ruth the Moabitess - given Boaz was in his 60s-70s when Obed was born, it is highly probable Obed was an only child who inherited his father's entire fortune. 1st Samuel 17 highlights the 'bad blood' between David and Eliab, Jesse's firstborn and heir, making it more likely they were half-brothers. David certainly had a great deal more to do with his half-sisters' sons during his reign, indicating a lack of emotional closeness to Jesse's other sons. It is possible, though no evidence exists, that Jesse married consecutively rather than concurrently - his first 3 sons could have been by his first wife; sons 4,5 and 6 by his second wife or a simultaneous wife or concubine, then sons 7 and 8 could have been by David's mother; perhaps David's only full brother was the 7th, immediately his elder, who died as a young man without children. There is no way to know. Finally, one possibility to really confuse - it is entirely possible that Nahash was a title rather than a personal name, like Pharaoh, and Abimelech and Jabin were titles rather than names. A more modern parallel, though fanciful, is that of Merlin and Arthur - Merlin, the ancient name for Eagle was a title, not a name, and so was Arthur, deriving from a title meaning 'Bear'; in ancient tribes, names had great significance, so calling a great warrior or wise man (magician) Nahash (snake like cunning) or the Bear (Arthur) was a bit of propaganda. Again, there is no way to know due to the immense span of time since that period, but it is interesting to speculate on the deliberate ambiguity that seems to exist in the text on the issue of who Nahash really was.

Who was Saul in The Bible?
In the Bible, we read about two Sauls who live centuries apart. One was the first king of Israel, who started out good, but later developed a haughty spirit, and lost God's favor. You can read about this one beginning in 1 Samuel chapter 9. King Saul became very jealous of his most valiant warrior, David. Saul tried on many occasions to kill David because of his envy over the attention David received from the people over his great acts. Saul's own son Jonathan became close friends with David, in spite of his father's hatred for David, and the fact that David was many years his junior. David became the second king of Israel after Saul's death. The second one who was named Saul in the Bible is found in the book of Acts. He is Saul of Tarsus who later was known as Paul. In Bible times a person's name was often changed by God, as if to give the person a new start, or to signify their new assigned role. In the case of the latter Saul, he was an extreme persecutor of Christians, even sharing in the murder of Stephen, a disciple of Christ. He later was confronted by directly by Jesus from heaven on the road to Damascus, to where he was traveling to further persecute Christians. After this experience, Saul completely changed his life course and became the Christian apostle Paul. He was even priveledged to write many of the books of the Christian Greek scriptures (or the New Testiment).

What type of music Jewish listen too?
== == Hadag Nahash (SnakeFish) is one of my favorite bands. They are hip-hop/pop and feature on the radio in Israel. For a taste of the group's music style, you can check out Shirat Hasticker("Sticker Song") and other songs on YouTube. In general, various types of music are played in Israel. Of course, one can find American pop and rap music all over the place. Another popular genre is called "Mizrahit" which is based on Arabic and Turkish music but with Hebrew words. It used to be the music of Israel's Sephardi (Jews from Arab countries) community but gained widespread popularity in the past two decades.
Where is the name 'Abigail' in the Bible?
1 Chronicles 3:1These are the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn, Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelite; the second, Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelite,1 Samuel 25:1-44Now Samuel died. And all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran. And there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich; he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel. Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was discerning and beautiful, but the man was harsh and badly behaved; he was a Calebite. David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. So David sent ten young men. And David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal and greet him in my name.1 Chronicles 2:16And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three.2 Samuel 2:2So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.1 Samuel 27:3And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow.2 Samuel 3:3And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;1 Chronicles 2:17Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.2 Samuel 17:25Now Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Jether the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
What is seraphs of heaven?
Another answer from our community:Seraphim are are celestial beings whom Isaiah saw standing before the throne of God when he was called to his prophetic ministry. They were seen by Isaiah as having hands, faces, voices of men and stood upright, they had 3 pairs of wings.The word seraphim means 'burning ones'. Seraphim is a plural word so maybe seraph is singular.The word seraphim, literally "burning ones", transliterates a Hebrew plural noun; translation yields seraphs. The singular, "seraph", is more properly rendered sarap. The word sarap/seraphim appears three times in the Torah (Numbers 21:6-8, Deuteronomy 8:15) and four times in the Book of Isaiah(6:2-6, 14:29, 30:6). In Numbers and Deuteronomy the "seraphim" are serpents -- the association of serpents as "burning ones" is possibly due to the burning sensation of the poison. Isaiah also uses the word in close association with words to describe snakes (nahash, the generic word for snakes, in 14:29, and efeh, viper, in 30:6).
