Thematic Bible: Instances of national peace


Thematic Bible



Hebron’s name used to be Kiriath-arba; Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. After this, the land had rest from war.

Then the land was peaceful 40 years, and Othniel son of Kenaz died.

for he had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza and over all the kings west of the Euphrates. He had peace on all his surrounding borders. Throughout Solomon's [reign], Judah and Israel lived in safety from Dan to Beer-sheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.

Moab became subject to Israel that day, and the land was peaceful 80 years.
