Hadad

The older name of the country was Kumusu, and it may be that the language spoken in it was allied to that of the Hittites, since a tablet in hieroglyphics of the Hittite type has been unearthed at Toprak Kala.

One of the newly found inscriptions of Sardurus III shows that the name of the Assyrian god, hitherto read Raman or Riman, was really pronounced Hadad.

It describes a war of the Vanic king against Assur-Nirari, son of Hadad-Nirari, Adadi-Nirari of Assyria, thus revealing not only the true form of the Assyrian name, but also the parentage of the last king of the older Assyrian dynasty.

From another inscription, belonging to Rusas II, the son of Argistus, we learn that campaigns were carried on against Hittites and the Moshi in the later years of Sennacherib's reign, and therefore only just before the eruption of the Cimmerians into the northern regions of Western Asia.

The two German explorers have also discovered the site and even the ruins of Muzazar, called Ardennis by the people of Van.

It's a play on the name Baal Zebul, which means prince of the manor.

This was another name for Baal Hadad, the Canaanite god associated with grain, storms, and national prosperity.

By changing the name to Baal Zebub, the meaning is changed to the Prince of Flies, and means that he is no longer the Lord of a heavenly manor, but the Lord of excrement.

Jesus then states that he who is not with him is against him, taken from Mark 9.40, and that who does not gather scatters.

A black cloud rises on the horizon.

Inside it is Adad, the storm god.

Thunder rolls.

The storm is coming.

But Adad isn't first.

Shalott and Hanush are.

They move ahead of him, crossing the land as his heralds, his vanguard, announcing what is coming before it arrives.

Different version, different text, same job.

This time he sends drought.

The rain god Adad is commanded to hold back the skies.

Rivers shrink, canals run low, fields dry out under the heat.

Grain does not rise from the earth.

Amianshe himself reigned over the province of Kadima, a word which in Semitic denotes the east.

Finally, the only one of their gods known to us, Hadad, was a Semite deity who presided over the atmosphere, and whom we find later on ruling over the destinies of Damascus.

Peoples of Semitic speech and religion must, indeed, have already occupied the greater part of that region on the shores of the Mediterranean, which we find still in their possession many centuries later, at the time of the Egyptian conquest.

For a time Egypt preferred not to meddle in their affairs.

The Rabbinic Hebrew still employs this plural form in the sense of demons.

The Phoenician inscriptions contain references to several local Rashufs.

The way in which this god is coupled with the goddess Kodshu on the Egyptian stelae leads me to think that at the epoch now under consideration he was specially worshipped by the Amorites, just as his equivalent Hadad was by the inhabitants of Damascus, neighbors of the Amorites, and perhaps themselves Amorites.

End footnote.

And that's where our scene is laid at the beginning of Acts 23.1, where he basically is given the floor and he starts off by saying, up to this day, I have lived my life with a clear conscience.

before god and then the high priest says hey smack him and uh

which is a pretty like that's pretty funny like i mean i guess he just said not guilty really and then they're like oh yeah well what if we hit you now how does that taste yeah i can i

can just uh i i would love to see monty python do this and have somebody up there going smite him and uh Or maybe that's more a it's always sunny in Philadelphia kind of vibe.

And the king of Israel...

Entered previously in my father's land, and Hadad, this is the Aramean storm deity.

In the Aramean world, where they speak Aramaic, the storm deity is the head god of the pantheon, and Hadad is that storm deity.

Baal Hadad is a conflation of Baal with Hadad.

These are their genealogies.

The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebajoth, then Kedar, Adbil, Mipsam, Mishma, Duma, Masa, Hadad, Tema, Jethor, Naphish, and Kedema.

These were the sons of Ishmael.

Now the sons born to Keturah, Abraham's concubine, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shua.

And when Bela died, Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned in his place.

When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

When Husham died, Hadad, the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place.

The name of his city was Avith.
