The Battle of Gibeah and Micah's Idol

In the Old Testament, the Israelites were seen as people who failed to listen to God’s commandments. Despite knowing beforehand that they would be punished for their disobedience, they still continued to commit sin. God tried to deter their misbehavior by promising them many blessings, but it worked to no avail. Due to the insubordination of the Israelites, He made sure that the promises He made to them would be withheld and that they would face consequences.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest written epic in history, documented in 2700 BC, in cuneiform, on clay tablets, found in the library of Nineveh, describes the king of the city-state Uruk’s love of his friend Enkidu and his quest for immortality. The Book of Exodus, written in 1400 BC describes God’s call of Moses, a Hebrew raised in Ramses II’s court in Egypt, to the Promise Land in Canaan. Gilgamesh and Moses function as heroes in these two ancient literary works. Gilgamesh and Moses exhibit similarities yet also exhibit differences. In particular the two men are alike in that they both embody their cultures; however their personalities and their journeys differ.

The Crusades were a series of wars over the holy lands such as Jerusalem between European Christians and the Ottoman Empire between the 11th and 15th centuries. They fought for many reasons such as control over religious sights, access to trade and protection of fellow christians.

The Battle of Shiloh is historically known as one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Part of the Western Campaign, Shiloh came on the heels of Union victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, primarily as a Confederate attempt to halt the Union's advance into the deep South. Though causes of the Union victory at Shiloh may be disputed, the significance of this Battle to the War's outcome is undeniable.

The texas general was James W Frannin. The goliad massacre The battle of the goliad massacre was a battle that lasted about thirty minutes.The general of mexico was Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.The Goliad Massacre hardened attitudes toward Santa Anna throughout the United States and inflamed and unified the Texas resistance.By the time the colonel ordered the retreat, it was too late.The finely bred, West Point-trained officer lingered for a while as a 1,400-man army led by Santa Anna’s chief lieutenant, General Jose de Urrea, closed in on Goliad.The battle of the goliad massacre was in Presidio La Bahía, Goliad.Sam Houston ordered James Frannin to evacuate his 400 soldiers from Goliad and retreat to Victoria , a town 30 miles to the east behind the natural defense of the Guadalupe River.Santa Anna’s ruthless treatment of the captured soldiers had the opposite effect than what he intended.When one of their carts fell into the San Antonio River, the colonel told his men to halt and retrieve it.The Alamo!” His men thundered a reply with an addendum: “Remember the Alamo! Instead of taking cover in the nearby woods, Fannin ordered his men to form a square on an open prairie near Coleto Creek.Whether indecisive, stubborn or loyal to the rebels away on missions whom he did not want to abandon, Fannin remained in Goliad until the morning of March 19. The Alamo! Instead, the Mexican commanding officer shot Fannin in the face, burned his body with the others and kept the timepiece as a war prize.Fannin,had to get there fast for his safety as the orders he received on March 14, 1836.“This show of generosity after a hotly contested engagement is worthy of the highest commendation,” Urrea wrote to Santa Anna, “and I can do no less than to commend it to your Excellency.”Santa Anna, however, had no desire for such mercy.The death toll would have been even higher if not for a Mexican woman known as the “Angel of Goliad” who convinced a Mexican colonel to spare the lives of approximately 20 doctors, orderlies and interpreters.Less than a month later, as Houston prepared his men for the decisive Battle of San Jacinto that would earn Texas its

Everybody that works with freaks becomes a suspect. Scully and Mulder approach the “Tabernacle of Terror”. The dark room covered with dusk, the light only entering in from the entrance and exit. The art manager was working at his workbench on a head with a screaming face. He is killed in his storage room by a slithering figure with the face of a monster. Blood is everywhere. Each time a murder occurs they make you believe that the freaks are responsible. They set the scene in a frightening space to pull the view in and make you think it must be the freaks. What this is saying is that even if you work in a horrible place such as the “Tabernacle of Terror” that it doesn’t make you a terrifying person. That often people who look different are

In 2009 a planned re-enactment of the Battle on the Plains of Abraham was set to take place on the original battlefield in light of its 250th anniversary. However the historical re-enactment of the 1759 battle was cancelled by The National Battlefields Commission for security concerns that could, as CBC News wrote, “turn into a modern-day conflict.” There is speculation other factors influenced the withdrawal of the re-enactment such as the overwhelming negative responses from the francophones in Quebec. These negative reactions were supported by the devastation resulting from the loss of the battle in 1759 and the modern-day neglect of Quebec and French culture. I commend the decision to cancel the re-enactment of the Battle because of

The three probably most important battles of the Civil War were great victories, but came at a price.

Heading into the season, an area of concern for WVU was its secondary but rest assured

The Battle of Shiloh consisted of a two day battle, resulting in a win for the Union. In the beginning, Confederate troops pushed the Union soldiers back trying to confine them against the Tennessee River. The Confederates chances of victory diminished as more army men appeared, followed by the death of Johnston, who was a Confederate General who held strong during the Battle of Fort Sumter.

In both Hammurabi’s Code and Exodus 19-21, there is a clear set of rules and procedures which constitute the way people should be living. This is evident through each reading’s focus on robbery, property, and deceit. It is explicitly said in the ten commandments that, “Thou shalt not steal.” In delving deeper into Exodus 19-21 it is also written that, “If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.” This type of ideal is also apparent in Hammurabi’s code, where it is said that, “If a seignior stole either an ox or a sheep or an ass or a pig or a boat, if it belonged to the church [or] if it belonged to the state, he shall make thirtyfold restitution; if it belonged to a private citizen, he shall make good tenfold.”

22). For example, in the case of Poletown Neighborhood Council v. Detroit the Michigan Supreme Court permitted (with the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution’s “public use”) Detroit to seize an entire ethnic neighborhood and hand it over to General Motors for a new factory (Bandow, 2004). In the Laws of Robbery 1:11 Rambam a famous Jewish sage comment “The appetite for wealth brings one to desire the property of others, and this brings a person to robbery. If the owners refuse to sell their property, even after being offered much money and put under heavy pressure, if they seek to prevent the covetous person from robbing them, it can bring him to actual bloodshed. Go out and learn from the story of Ahab and Naboth.” In actuality Ahab and Jezebel broke several of the commandments by first breaking the last of the Ten Commandments. Ahab allowed false testimony to accuse an upright man of blasphemy and treason, opposing the Ninth Commandment “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16, NASB). As of this false testimony Naboth was murdered breaking the Sixth Commandment “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Then Ahab stole his whole vineyard breaking the Eighth Commandment “You

Khe Sanh, a plateau in the northwest corner of South Vietnam, was a U.S. Marine Corps base and airstrip. Located where North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and Laos came together, the Khe Sanh base was important for American forces, as it enabled troops to gather information about the traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. However, the Communists also admired the region around Khe Sanh, since it could act as an avenue into Southern Vietnam. General Westmoreland, who would come to play a major role in the future battles, immediately felt this “crucial importance” (Brush) of Khe Sanh when he first arrived there.
