Dave FarinaHOST
The Kushites immediately rebelled, and in response Thutmose invaded, killed the king, and made Kush a permanent part of his empire.
Dave FarinaHOST
He also campaigned against the cities of Syria, and reached the city of Carchemish across the Euphrates river in Mesopotamia.
Dave FarinaHOST
When Thutmose died around 1480, he was briefly succeeded by his son, Thutmose II, and when he died, leaving his own son who was too young to rule, the state was governed in his place by Thutmose II's widow, Hatshepsut.
Dave FarinaHOST
Unlike Sobekneferu, who had ruled as a queen at the end of the Middle Kingdom, Hatshepsut was declared king by the Oracle of Amun, and the images made of her at the time often portrayed her as a man.
Andrew RussellHOST
But it is in his heart to destroy and to cut off nations, not a few.
Andrew RussellHOST
For he says, Are not my commanders all kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus? As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols, whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria, shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her images? When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.
Andrew RussellHOST
For he says, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding.
Andrew RussellHOST
I remove the boundaries of peoples, and plunder their treasures.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
As we discussed in yesterday's share, the main march of the Egyptians up north was between 609 and 605 BCE.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
In 609 BCE, on their way up to meet the Babylonians in Carchemish, that's when they engaged Yoshiel in Megiddo, and that's when Yoshiel was killed.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Several years later, in 605 BCE, which was the fourth year of Yehoiakim, they were finally defeated by the Babylonians in Carchemish.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Afterwards, the Egyptians retreated.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
It's with that setting that we find all the politics that Sefer Yimriyo deals with at length, where the other nations of the Middle East, especially Tzor and Sidon and Amon and Moab and Edom, together with Yehudah, are planning to put up a common front against any further Babylonian expanse from Carchemish or from the Prat or down towards the land of Canaan.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
And the country that they're putting their hopes on, that will come and support them, will be Egypt.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
It's because of that background that this new vote of Yirmiyel is so important.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
As we saw in yesterday's share, he explains how the mighty army of Egypt is going to be desolated by the Babylonians, first in Carchemish, and later on in Egypt itself.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
About 11 Pesukim.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
which is going to talk about an event that took place, as we'll soon see, in the fourth year of Yehoiakim, about the attempt of Paro Necho in his battle against the Babylonians in the city of Carchemish in 605 BCE.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Let's finish the passage to show this, and then we'll explain the background to this battle.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
This is about the battle when he was defeated by Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Havel, in the fourth year of the reign of Joachim, the son of Yoshiel, the king of Yehudah.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
That is the battle where Yoshiel met his death.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
In light of that battle, Egypt exerts a very strong influence over Israel, and they appoint Jehoiakim to become king.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
In the 4th year of Jehoiakim, in other words, 4 years later, the battle in Carchemish is still going on, and now the tide has turned, and the Babylonians are going to take over the Egyptians.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
The next 11 Pesukim, Yimeo is going to describe how that's about to happen.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
There was, however, one incident of great significance, although hardly recorded in Gertrude's journal.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
Hearing that Dr. Hogarth was excavating near Carchemish, Gertrude decided to make a detour so that she could pay him a friendly call and discuss some of her findings with him.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
She did not see Hogarth, but she met, for the first time, a man with whose destiny she was linked.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
The excavator in charge of the Carchemish diggings was T.E. Lawrence, one day to be the conqueror of Arabia.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
It was a curious encounter.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
Lawrence, almost exactly 20 years Gertrude's junior, wiry, undersized, a hard-working Oxford undergraduate to whom archaeology was an enthralling adventure, but without any definite ideas as to how he would steer the course of his life.
50 MINS LATER
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
It was evident that Kitchener's slogan, at first ridiculed, for three years or duration of the war, was no fantasy.
Lynette CalkinsNARRATOR
Hostilities had, moreover, shifted to other parts of the world, and notably to the Near East.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
And this is already a Messianic time period.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
That's the way Chazal understands when Yoshiel makes this decision to go to war against Paru Necho of Egypt on his way to Karkamish.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
There Chazal asks, why was it that Yoshiel thought it was okay to go to war? They said, Yoshiel saw the Pasuk, It says in Parshat Bechukotai, that sword will not go through your land, and therefore he thought it was okay to go and stop Paro Nahal from marching through his land, through Megiddo.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
But when does that pasuk apply? If you follow my laws, and you keep my mitzvot, then God will make sure that no sword will pass through your land.
Erika KirkHOST
Jeremiah chapter 46, judgment on Egypt.

Phil FieldsHOST
I conquered Samaria and Damascus.
Phil FieldsHOST
I reached out to punish those kingdoms that worship idols.
Tim WildsmithHOST
