Qadash-The Humility of Yahuah

 While the Abary word Qadash 𐤒𐤃𐤔 H6944 (קדש) and yiddish  which is pronounced as 'Qodesh' is translated as 'Set-Apart'/'Holy'/ Sanctify/Sanctuary/Hallowed' etc. There is a deep meaning hidden in the word itself in a spiritual vs spiritual understanding. The word itself appears 458 in the OT and when hearing it gives a sense of urgency in the mind to present oneself in the purest form before the Creator.

However, we first need to look at the word from Yahuah's perspective as His Ruach is called as Ruach Ha Qadash and in some of His encounters He asked Masha & Joshua/Yahushua to remove their sandals from their feet as the ground they stood on was Qadash.

Lev 19:1 AND YAHUAH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

Lev 19:2 Speak unto all the assembly of the children of Yashar’el, and say unto them, Ye shall be qadash (𐤒𐤃𐤔) H6944: for I YAHUAH ELOHAYKEM am qadash (𐤒𐤃𐤔) H6944.

The word has the root word 'qad  𐤒𐤃 ( קד )/qadad (𐤒𐤃𐤃  (קדד H6915' which means 'to bow down'

dash/dasha (דשא) 𐤃𐤔𐤀 H1877 is translated as grass, but the same word H1876 also means sprout i.e. a green herb sprout.

Deu 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb/dasha דשא) 𐤃𐤔𐤀) H1877 , and as the showers upon the grass/eseb H6212:

קדשה) 𐤒𐤃𐤔𐤄) 'Qadashah 'is the feminine form of qadash and Yahuah is careful in using words. This word is used exclusively for a cult prostitute/temple prostitute. Yahuah in His Torah forbids any of the daughters of Yasharal to be a qadashah.

Deu 23:17 There shall be no whore (קדשה) 𐤒𐤃𐤔𐤄 H6948 of the daughters of Yashar’el, nor a sodomiy of the sons of Yashar’el.

Speaking of a cult prostitute she bows down to the deity and its worshipper by submitting her body to both which is abominable. She is a picture of those claiming to be part of Yasharal but are still occupied with the bodily/fleshly Yerushalayim temple practices and have not transitioned to the MalchiTsedek priesthood. The same root word 'qad' which means 'bown down'. The word also has the root word dash which means a sprout. She behaves exactly like a Set Apart one but is set apart to another deity and its worshiping cult.

Qadash Qadashim: 𐤒𐤃𐤔 𐤒𐤃𐤔𐤉𐤌 (קדש קדשים )

Many of the sacrifices were Most Set-Apart and the innermost sanctuary is also called Most Set-Apart place where only the Kahan Ha Gadul could go once a year behind the veil on the Day of Atonement.

Lev 7:1  ‘And this is the Torah of the guilt offering – it is most set-apart (𐤒𐤃𐤔 𐤒𐤃𐤔𐤉𐤌)

Exo 26:33  “And you shall hang the veil from the hooks, and shall bring the ark of the Witness there, behind the veil. And the veil shall make a separation for you between the Set-apart and the Most Set-apart Place (𐤒𐤃𐤔 𐤒𐤃𐤔𐤉𐤌).

We will revisit the Qadash Qadashim a bit later, while the word qadash itself means Set-Apart and shows that Yahuah is Set-Apart by nature we must draw words pictures to realize this and understand His awesomeness.

Qad/Qadad: bow down

Dash/Dash: A green herb sprout

Gen 1:11 Then Elohim said, Let green herb sprout (dasha) H1876 in the earth green herb sprout (dasha) H1877 : plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind, whichever seed in them; and it was so. 

The exact same word with the same spelling is used and has a deep spiritual meaning. Strong's is work of man so they would translate the first word 'dasha' H1876 as 'bring forth' and the same word as 'grass' H1877 in the second word. The word repeated shows that Yahuah began with the seed, the seed then sprouted to plants yielding the seed and fruit trees bearing the fruit after their kind with the seed within them. 

What is firstfruits offering? This is exactly what Yahuah is showing us. His chay/life of breath is in the seed holding a potential to bring forth many seed bearing plans and vegetation.

Spiritually we see Yahusha as the first fruits who offered Himself and we are kind of firstfruits in Him. His seed remains in us so that we do not sin.

The above image is of the ripe barley which is the produce of the sprout (dash/dasha) and is bowing down (qad) which shows the humility in the bowing down.

The above image is of the sheaf/omer which the kahan/priest used to offer as a waive offering to Yahuah. The bent barley/wheat shows the humility of Yahuah as Yahusha.

The Torah sacrifices:

The Torah came with instructions to sacrifice clean animals, grain & drink offerings to offer to atone for sins. These sacrifices with their drink offerings to be offered foreshadowed the one sacrifice of Yahusha ha Mashiyach who would atone for our sins once and for all.

Lev 23:10  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11  ‘And he shall wave the sheaf/omer H6016 before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it. 
Lev 23:12  ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
Lev 23:13  and its grain offering/manchah H4503: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14  ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

The Yasharalite was not to eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that he brought these offerings to Alahym. He could eat of the previous harvest but not from the current harvest until offered to Yahuah.

Yahusha humbled Himself, knowing that He was in the form of Yahuah and equal to Yahuah in duality of power in the lower realm, yet he took upon Himself the form of a servant and was as a man subject to obedience unto death. This is what Qadash shows us. He bowed down the heavens to be like one of us to offer Himself in the fire of sacrifice as the firstfruits.

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of YAH, thought it not robbery to be equal with YAHUAH:

Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the stake.

Paleo Hebrew is a language with consonants which have the vowels in the word pronunciation. There are no vowels in the Abary language (a,e,i,o,u) but the pronunciation QADA (ah sound) SH displays it. 

And we know there is no Set-Apartness without fire. And ash in Hebrew means fire. Yahuah appeared in the burning bush. The animal list (sheep, goat, ram, bull, red heifer etc.) given to be sacrificed were all grass/sprout eaters and displayed humility by bending down to chew on the grass/sprouts.

Exo 22:29  “Do not delay giving your harvest and your vintage. Give Me the first-born of your sons. 

Exo 22:30  “Likewise you are to do with your oxen, with your sheep. It is to be with its mother seven days. On the eighth day you give it to Me. 

Exo 23:19  “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land into the House of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk. 

Eighth day was the morrow after the Sabbath i.e. the first fruits. This is only related to the first fruits as stated in Lev 23:10-14 passages we read above, the context of the verses in Exo 22:29-30 & Exo 23:19 are ''Do not delay giving your harvest and your vintage"

Even the beast of burden who though unclean was humble needed a redemption.

Donkey is an unclean animal & is considered as a beast of burden and if the first-born of a donkey cannot be redeemed with a lamb, Torah said 'then you shall break his neck' and followed by 'And every first-born of your sons you shall ransom' shows that the first-born of Yasharal's sons are closely related to the ransom of the first-born of a donkey.

The word 'oreph (𐤏𐤓𐤐 ( ערפ' is the neck and is the same word spelled in H6202 means 'breaking the neck/beheading.'

Exo 13:13 “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break his neck/araph (ערפ) 𐤏𐤓𐤐 H6202. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom. 

Exo 34:20 “But the first-born of a donkey/chamor you ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom, then you shall break his neck/araph (ערפ) 𐤏𐤓𐤐  H6202. Every first-born of your sons you shall ransom. And they shall not appear before Me empty-handed.

Orpah עָרְפָּה) 𐤏𐤓𐤐𐤄) H6204 is related to עֹרֶף) 𐤏𐤓𐤐) H6203 which means 'back of the neck' and (עָרַף) 𐤏𐤓𐤐 H6202 which means 'break the neck'

In a spiritual comparison we see a beautiful picture of padah/redeeming the first-born of a donkey who is a beast of burden and if it cannot be redeemed 'break it's neck/arpah', it is rendered useless as it's not of Yahuah but is pagan just as Orpah/Arpah (daughter in law of Naomi) who went back to her people when she had the opportunity to cling to Yahuah and his people.

If the sons of Yasharal would ask their fathers the significance of this padah/redeeming, they were to tell them as stated below in Exo 34:14-15.

Exo 13:14  “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 13:15  ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom/padah.’

We see the fulfillment by Yahusha as He is the Lamb of Aluahym who takes the sins of this world. Everything measures unto Him. The omer, ephah, the animal sacrifices, the first fruits offerings of manchah/grain and the redemption of the firstborn sons and beasts, the redemption of a chamor/donkey which is burden of beast (which He rode to show that He redeemed it as He is the lamb) etc. all measure to Him. He is the bowed down head (qad) and the green sprout (dash/dasha) which is bent down. All showing His sanctification/qadash in humility.

The Husband and the wife:

Eph 5:29  For no one ever hated his own flesh, but feeds and cherishes it, as also the Master does the assembly. 

Eph 5:30  Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 

Eph 5:31  “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Gen_2:24. 

Eph 5:32  This secret is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly. 

Eph 5:33  However, you too, everyone, let each one love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she fears her husband. 

Ish (איש) 𐤀𐤉𐤔 H376 Husband/Man : Has the root word ash which means fire.

Ishah (אשה) 𐤀𐤔𐤄 H802 Wife: Has the root word ash which means fire.

Ash (אש) 𐤀𐤔 H784 Fire

Lev 6:8  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, 

Lev 6:9  Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 

Lev 6:10  And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 

Lev 6:11  ‘And he shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and shall bring the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 

Lev 6:12  And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. 

Lev 6:13  The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. 

The fire on the brazen altar was to be perpetual, the incense offering fire had to be from the brazen altar. Remember, Nadab and Abihu sons of Aharon were killed for offering strange fire during the incense offering. The source of their fire was not from the fire from the brazen altar. This is the reason why Yahusha says "Behold I come as a thief "

Rev 16:15  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 

Compare with the one keeping his garments with Lev 6:10-11

1Th 5:2  For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night. 

1Th 5:2  For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night. 

Rev 3:3  “Remember, then, how you have received, and heard. And watch and repent. If, then, you do not wake up, I shall come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at all what hour I come upon you. 

The language scriptures use is tied up to Torah. There were certain tasks which the priests in their night shift when the temple is shut had to do. One of which is to ensure that there was perpetual fire on the brazen altar as the Torah commands. The kahan ha gadul (high priest) used to do night rounds to ensure that the Torah is observed as Torah brought consequences on disobedience which would affect the nation of Yasharal as a whole. Hence, if a priest found sleeping/not doing his duty in accordance with Torah was disqualified from his priestly duties. Yahusha is the Kahan Ha Gadul who uses the same language "Behold I come as a thief Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame" 

The priests attending the brazen altar had to ensure there was perpetual fire on it and had to have his priestly garments on. The only time he could change his garments was when he would bring the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. There would be multiple priests ensuring that the duties were carried out in accordance with the Torah and their prime leader to ensure this is happening was the Kahan Ha Gadul (High priest). This was perpetual as long as the temple/haykal existed i.e. in the land. Now that Yasharal is in dispersion we see Yahusha the Kahan ha Gadul as was seen by Yahuchanan among the 7 lampstands which is figurative of Him keeping the daily perfectly on behalf of His bride.

He is the Aysh/Ishi the husband who offered Himself as a burnt offering (enduring the wrath for our sins) on the stake. We His ashah/ishah are found in Him, in His fire which doesn't burn us but we are afflicted in this world being persecuted for His name sake. The ish & the ishah are in the fire where the ish pays the penalty for His ishah. Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego in the dispersion i.e. in Babylon were put in the furnace for they refused to bow down to the image of the king, there was one like the Son of Aluahym (Daniel 3:8-30) in the midst of them in that furnace and the fire did not affect them in anyway.

In the burning bush we see the Messenger of Yahuah in the fire and the fire didn't consume the bush or the Messenger of Yahuah. He was indicating of the great deliverance He would bring to Yasharal from bitter bondage of sin and slavery to it. Hence, the ground which Masha stood on was Qadash for the Messenger of Yahuah who is Yahuah Himself had bent down the heavens and come down to deliver.

Yahuah MiQadash:

Lev 20:7  ‘And you shall set yourselves apart, and shall be set-apart, for I am יהוה your Elohim, 

Lev 20:8  and you shall guard My laws and do them. I am יהוה, who sets you apart (Yahuah Mi Qadash) . 

Heb 2:11 For both He who sanctifies/qadash and those who are sanctified/qadashim are all of them of One/echad. Therefore He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

This is what it means when we understand the Qadash Qadashim. The One Tabernacle in Mashiyach which both the Sanctifier and the Sanctified are Echad. 

The pattern we are called to follow by the One behind the veil who is no longer behind the veil, He has unveiled Himself and made known Who He is and What He has done for us .

Yahuah bowed down into sacrificing Himself for us as all the offerings foreshadowed Him and this shows us His humility in His Set-Apartness towards us. We are called to respond to being Set-Part unto Him by humbly accepting WHO HE IS, WHAT HE DID FOR US and as He said "Unless you believe I AM HE you will die in your sins"

All those trying to show they are set-apart are 'qadashah' the cult prostitute who has another version of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE DID FOR US.

Was Ahaziah/AchazYahu king of Yahudah 22 years old (2 Kings 8:26) or 42 years old (2 Chr 22:2)?

 2 Kings 8:26 & 2 Chr 22:2 taken at face value seems contradiction. Many bible scholars say this is a scribal copyist error and different translations referring to different manuscripts have corrected ages to 22 in 2 Chr 22:2. But when we understand and dig deeper, we will be able to understand that there is no contradiction and it's amazing to see the blood lines and the perspective of the writers of 2 different ages. This note debunks the view of copyist error theory. Let's begin first by placing the scriptures:

2Ki 8:26 AchazYahu was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Yerushalam. And his mother’s name was AthalYahu the daughter of Amri king of Yisra’El.

2Chr22:2 AhazYahu was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Yerushalam. And his mother’s name was AthalYahu, the daughter of Amri. 

To decode the mystery we first need to understand why its says in both the texts 'And his mother’s name was AthalYahu, the daughter of Amri'

For this we need to understand a bit of background on Amri/Omri. 

2Ki8:25 In the twelfth year of Yoram the son of Achab king of Yisra’El, AchazYahu the son of Yahuram king of Yahudah reigned. 

AchazYahu/Ahaziah was the son of Yahuram/Jehoram king of Yahudah. 

Who was Yahuram/Jehoram king of Yahudah?

Jehoram/Yahuram had married AthalYahu the granddaughter of Amri/Omri king of Yasharal. 

Ahaziah’s/AchazYahu's father Yahuram/Jeroham was king of Yahudah, and his father was Jehoshaphat/Yahushaphat

2Chr 21:1 And Yahushaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of Dawid, and Yahuram/Jehoram his son became king instead of him.

Who was Amri/Omri?

Jeroham/Yahuram king of Yahudah married the granddaughter of Omri/Amri the king of Yasharal. Ahaziah/AchazYahu was a produce of that integrated marriage. In both the texts 1Kings 8:26 & 2 Chr22:2 we read 'And his mother’s name was AthalYahu, the daughter of Amri/Omri'. She was not the direct daughter of Omri/Amri but his granddaughter. She was the direct daughter of Ahab/Achab.

2Chr21:6 And he (Yahuram/Jehoram) walked in the way of the kings of Yisra’El, just as the house of Achab/Ahab did: for Achab’s/Ahab's daughter was the wife to him, and he did evil in the sight of Yahuah. 

Omri/Amri whose genealogy is not mentioned (he was the commander of the army) became king of Yasharal & Ahab/Achab was his direct son, which means if Yahuram/Jehoram king and son of Yahushapat/Jehoshapat the king of Yahudah married Ahab/Achab's daughter, Ahaziah/AchazYahu was both son from lineage from Omri from his mother as well as from the lineage of David from his father. While lineage is attributed to the father's lineage only, it's important to understand the perspective of the writer of 2 Chronicles as he was pointing out to a non setapart dynasty. Ahaziah/AchazYahu also walked in the way of the house of Ahab/Achab and did evil in the eyes of Yahuah.

2 Kings 8:27 And he (Ahaziah/AchazYahu ) walked in the way of the house of Ahab/Achab, and did evil in the sight of the Yahuah, as did the house of Ahab/Achab: for he was the son in/by law of the house of Ahab/Achab.

While in our culture we would call Yahuram/Jehoram as son in law of Ahab/Achab as he married Ahab's/Achab's daughter, here in 2 Kings 8:27 mentions Ahaziah/AchazYahu as the son in/by law of the house of Ahab/Achab and its a clear indication that he is tied up also to the lineage of Omri/Amri dynasty from where we get his age as 42. Let us see how:

1Ki16:15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Yahudah, Zimri reigned seven days at Thirtsah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

1Ki16:16 The people who were camped heard it said, Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king (1 Kings 16:8 Elah the son of Baasha). Therefore, all Yisra’El made Amri/Omri, the commander of the army, king over Yisra’El on that day in the camp.

Zimri had conspired against king Elah and killed him, he became king and was just a 7-day king. The people encamped against Zimri for his rebellion & he burnt down the king's house upon himself and died (1 Kings 16:18).

We then read the people of Yasharal were divided into 2 parts; half of them followed Tibni and made him king while the other half followed Amri/Omri. But we read in 1 Kings 16:22 that the people following Omri/Amri prevailed over the people following Tibni and when Tibni died Omri became king over all Yasharal.

1Ki16:21 Then the people of Yisra’El were divided into two parts: half of the people were after Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; the other half were after Amri/Omri.

1Ki16:22 But the people who were after Amri/Omri prevailed over the people who were after Tibni the son of Ginath. And Tibni died and Amri/Omri became king. 

Omri/Amri:

1Ki16:15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Yahudah, Zimri reigned seven days at Thirtsah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

It is understood that after the death of Zimri the half people stated in 1Kings 16:21 who followed Tibni, that Omri ruled in Thirtsah i.e. now all over Yasharal.

1Ki16:23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Yahudah, Amri/Omri became king over Yisra’El, twelve years; he reigned six years at Thirtsah.

Since, Omri ruled over Thirtsah for 6 years i.e., all over Yasharal. Hence, we need to mark these 6 years of a complete reign.

1Ki 16:29 Now Ahab/Achab the son of Amri/Omri became king over Yisra’El in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Yahudah, and Achab/Ahab the son of Amri/Omri reigned over Yisra’El in Shomeron twenty-two years.

Ahab/Achab ruled 22 years over Yasharal. We need to mark these 22 years as well.

Ahaziah the son of Ahab/Achab (not the Ahaziah/AchazYahu whose age is in question) reigned for a total of 2 years. Hence, we need to mark these 2 years as well.

2Ki1:17 And he died according to the word of Yahuah which EliYahu had spoken. And because he had no son, Yahuram became king in his place in the second year of Yahuram the son of Yahushaphat, king of Yahudah.

His brother Yahuram son of Achab became king in his place as he had no son.

1Ki22:51 AchazYahu the son of Achab reigned over Yisra’El in Shomeron in the seventeenth year of Yahushaphat king of Yahudah, and he reigned two years over Yisra’EL.

2Ki1:17 And he died according to the word of Yahuah which EliYahu had spoken. And because he had no son, Yahuram became king in his place in the second year of Yahuram the son of Yahushaphat, king of Yahudah.

When 12 years had passed of Yehoram's reign (Yahuram direct son of Ahab and not son of Yahushapat) when Ahaziah/AchazYahu who was tied to both the kingdoms of Yasharal and Yahudah began to reign. Hence we need to mark these 12 years as well.

2Ki8:25 In the twelfth year of Yahuram/Jehoram the son of Achab king of Yisra’El, AchazYahu the son of Yahuram king of Yahudah reigned.

Now let's add the ages we marked: 6 + 22 + 2 + 12 = 42

1. Omri 6 years when he became king over all Yasharal (1 Kings 6:23)

2. Ahab/Achab king of Yasharal ruled 22 years (1 Kings 16:29)

3. AchazYahu/Ahaziah son of Ahab/Achab king of Yasharal ruled 2 years (1 Kings 22:51)

4. Yahuram/Yehoram son of Achab king of Yasharal ruled 12 years (2 Kings 8:25)

Hence, 2 Chr 22:2 gives us the dynastical age of AchazYahu son of Yahuram of Yahudah from Omri/Amri's lineage while 2 Kings 8:26 gives his age from his direct lineage from Yahushaphat/Jehoshapat's lineage i.e., Yahudah. There is no contradiction in scripture. It's the carnal mind which doesn't understand Yahuah's perspective in mentioning the ages. We see a complete end of this dynasty of 50 years with the death of AtalYah who ruled 6 years in Yahudah being seedless after her son AchazYahu's death. AtalYah means Yah has constrained.

6 + 22 + 2 + 12 = 42 +1 + 6 = 49

1 year of AchazYahu's rule & 6 years of AtalYah's rule, which shows the dynasty falling short of 50 which is the number of release/jubilee. The 1 year and 6 years rule was in Yahudah and not Yasharal. An attempt was made to carry forward the Baal worship pattern over to Yahudah but Yahuah constrained the pattern.

2Ki 8:26 AchazYahu was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Yerushalam. And his mother’s name was AthalYahu the daughter of Amri king of Yisra’El.

2Chr22:2 AhazYahu was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Yerushalam. And his mother’s name was AthalYahu, the daughter of Amri. 

2Chr22:12 And he was with them hidden in the house of the Elohim six years while AthalYahu reigned over the land.

2Ki 11:13  And Athalyah heard the noise of the runners, the people, and she came to the people, into the House of יהוה,

2Ki 11:14  and looked and saw the sovereign standing by a column, according to the ruling, and the chiefs and the trumpeters were beside the sovereign, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets. And Athalyah tore her garments and cried out, “Treason! Treason!”

2Ki 11:15  And Yehoyaḏa the priest commanded the commanders of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said to them, “Take her outside the ranks, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the House of יהוה.”

2Ki 11:16  So they took hold of her, and she went by way of the horses’ entrance to the sovereign’s house, and was put to death there.

2Ki 11:17  And Yehoyaḏa made a covenant between יהוה and the sovereign and the people, to be the people of יהוה – also between the sovereign and the people.

2Ki 11:18  And all the people of the land went to the house of Ba‛al, and broke it down. They completely broke up its slaughter-places and images, and killed Mattan the priest of Ba‛al before the slaughter-places. And the priest appointed inspectors over the House of יהוה,

Yahuram (direct father of AchazYahu/Ahaziah whose age is in question) took the throne at age 32 and he ruled 8 years in Yerushalayim. Hence, if AchazYahu's literal age would be 42, he can't be in age greater than his father, can he? Hence, we must understand this as clearly shown as a dynastical age. 

Yahuram was extremely evil king, and he was the one who received a letter from AlaYahu/Elijah which is mentioned in 2 Chr 21, when AlaYahu/Elijah was transported to another location (and not heaven as traditionalists teach).

2Ki8:17 He (Yahuram/Jehoram) was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Yerushalam. 

2Chr21:5 Yahuram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Yerushalam.

2Chr21:12 And a letter came to him from EliYahu the prophet saying, thus says Yahuah the El of your father Dawid, because you have not walked in the ways of Yahushaphat your father and in the ways of Asa king of Yahudah,

2Chr21:13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Yisra’El, and have caused Yahudah and the inhabitants of Yerushalam to commit fornication like the fornicators of the house of Achab, and you have also killed your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than you,

2Chr21:14 behold, Yahuah shall strike with a great destruction among your people, and among your sons, and among your wives and among all your possessions; 

2Chr21:15 and you shall have with many sickness, by disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the sickness, day by day.

 

As per the letter received from AlaYahu/Elijah Yahuah struck his bowels and there was no healing for his bowels and after 2 years he died.

2Ki8:17 & 2Chr21:5 records that he ruled at age 32 for 8 years in Yerushalayim and 2 Chr 21:19 records after 2 years with his bowels falling out he died. He would have died at age 40 (32 when he began to rule + 8 years rule in Yerushalayim out of which 2 years being diseased).

2Chr21:18 And after all this Yahuah smote him in his bowels by disease for which there was no healing.

2Chr21:19 And it came about from days to days, and as the time went out, at the end of two years of days, that his bowels fell out because of his sickness and he died of painful disease. And his people made no burning for him like the burning of his fathers. 

Ahaziah/AchazYahu was 22 years old when his father died and 42 from a dynastical point of view from Omri's lineage as he had killed all his brothers and was extremely wicked, being from the lineage of Yahushapat who was a righteous king, his dynasty from Omri would end as it was prophesied that Yahu/Jehu would end it but his lineage from David would continue for the sake of David, Yahuah would keep a lamp burning on David's throne.

2Ki9:1 Now Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this flask of oil in your hand and go to Ramoth-gilead. 

2Ki9:2 And you shall go there, and you shall see there Yahu/Jehu the son of Yahushaphat the son of Nimshi and go in and bid him arise from among his brothers and bring him to an inner room.

2Ki9:3 And take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, thus says Yahuah, I have anointed you king over Yisra’El. And open the door and flee and do not wait. 

2Ki9:6 He arose and went into the house, and he poured the oil on his (Yahu's) head and said to him, thus says Yahuah, the El of Yisra’El, I have anointed you king over the people of Yahuah, even over Yisra’El.

2Ki9:7 And you shall strike the house of Achab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahuah, at the hand of Izabel.

2Ki9:8 And the whole house of Achab shall perish, and I shall cut off from Achab him that urinate against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Yisra’El.

2Ki9:10 And the dogs shall eat Yizebel in the territory of Yizreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.

***Yahu/Jehu executes the judgment on Ahab/Achab's house***

Yahuram son of Ahab went to make war taking along with him AchazYahu king of Yahudah against the king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilead and Yahuram was wounded in the battle. Yahuram returned to Yizreel to be healed of his wounds. AchazYahu/Ahaziah king of Yahuram king of Yahudah went down to see him when Yahu/Jehu executed them both which we will see how bit later. Below are the scriptures I have shown sequentially and how after AchazYahu/Ahaziah was killed how his son Yoash was spared to keep the lamp of David on the throne while the dynasty of Omri was destroyed. 

2Ki8:28 And he (AchazYahu son of Yahuram of Yahudah) went with Yoram the son of Achab to war against Chazah’El king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Yoram.

2Ki8:29 So King Yoram returned to be healed in Yizreel of the wounds which the Arameans had smitten him at Ramah when he fought against Chazah’El king of Aram. Then AchazYahu the son of Yahuram king of Yahudah went down to see Yoram the son of Achab in Yizreel because he was sick.

2Ki 9:14 So Yahu the son of Yahushaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Yoram. And Yoram had kept in Ramoth-gilead, he and all Yisra’El before Chaza’El king of Aram,

2Ki9:15 but King Yahuram had returned to Yizreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with Chaza’El king of Aram. So Yahu said, If it be your mind, then let no one go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Yizreel.

2Ki9:16 Then Yahu rode and went to Yizreel, for Yoram was lying there. AchazYah king of Yahudah had come down to see Yoram.

2Ki9:17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Yizreel and he saw the company of Yahu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Yahuram said, Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, Is it peace?

2Ki9:18 And a horseman went to meet him and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Yahu said, What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came to them, but he did not return.

2Ki9:19 And he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Yahu answered, What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.

2Ki9:20 And the watchman reported, saying, He came even to them, and he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Yahu the son of Nimshi, for he drives in madness.

2Ki9:21 Then Yahuram said, Get ready. And they made his chariot ready. Yahuram king of Yisra’El and AchazYahu king of Yahudah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Yahu and found him in the property of Naboth the Yizreelite.

2Ki9:22 And it came to pass, when Yahuram saw Yahu, he said, Is it peace, Yahu? And he said, What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Izebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

2Ki9:23 And Yahuram turned his hands and fled and said to AchazYahu, There is treachery, O AchazYahu!

2Ki9:24 And Yahu filled his hands with his bow and smote Yahuram between his arms; and the arrow went through his heart and he sank in his chariot.

2Ki9:25 And he said to Bidqar his officer, Take up and cast him into the property of the field of Naboth the Yizreelite, for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that Yahuah laid this oracle against him:

 2Ki9:26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, says Yahuah and I shall repay you in this property, says Yahuah. Now then, take and cast him into the property, according to the word of Yahuah.

2Ki9:27 When AchazYah the king of Yahudah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Yahu pursued after him and said, Shoot him, him too, in the chariot, at the ascent of Gur, which is at Yibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

 2Ki9:28 Then his servants carried him in a chariot to Yerushalam and buried him in his grave with his fathers in the city of Dawid.

2Chr22:8 And it came about when Yahu was executing judgment on the house of Achab, he found the princes of Yahudah and the sons of AchazYahu’s brothers ministering to AchazYahu, and slew them. 

2Chr22:9 And he sought AchazYahu, and they caught him while he was hiding in Shomron; they brought him to Yahu, put him to death and buried him. For they said, He is the son of Yahushaphat, who sought Yahuah with all his heart. So there was no one of the house of AchazYahu to retain the power of the kingdom.

2Chr22:10 And when AthalYahu the mother of AchazYahu saw that her son was dead, she rose and destroyed all the seed of the kingdom of the house of Yahudah.
2Chr22:11 But Yahushabeath the king’s daughter took Yoash the son of AchazYahu, and stole him from among the king’s sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. And Yahushabeath, the daughter of King Yahuram, the wife of Yahuyada the priest (for she was the sister of AchazYahu), hid him from the face of AthalYahu so that she would not put him to death.

2Chr22:12 And he was with them hidden in the house of the Elohim six years while AthalYahu reigned over the land. 

2 Kings 9:27 & 2 Chr 22:8 also seem contradicting in the first blush meaning as both the accounts have different version of Ahaziah/AchazYahu's death. Comparing both the accounts we understand 2Kings 9 & Chr 22 accounts shows us while Yahu/Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Achab, he found the sons of the brothers of AchazYahu/Ahaziah & the princes of Yahudah ministering to AchazYahu whom he slew, details of this we will see a bit later.  The remainder of the seed of Yahudah existing as threat to the throne was killed by Athaliah later after Ahaziah her son i.e., the king of Yahudah was killed by Jehu/Yahu.

Nevertheless, when we get the context correct Yehu/Yahu would only turn towards killing Ahaziah king of Yahudah once he has completed his vengeance on Ahab's household as given to him as prime responsibility. There was a time lapse as well in the judgment executed by Jehu/Yahu because he mentions the vineyard of Nabouth. Let's go in flashback to understand what had happened to Nabouth and his vineyard in short.

Ahab had desired the vineyard of Nabouth and when Nabouth refused to give the inheritance of his fathers to king Ahab, his countenance fell and Jezebel/Ayzabel had a conspiracy built against Nabouth by raising false witnesses against him to say he cursed the king and to have him stoned and was successful in the conspiracy. Then king Ahab took over his vineyard, but Yahuah sent AlayYahu/Elijah the nabi to Ahab. You may read the entire account in 1Kings 21. But here are a few verses to put a context to the judgement meted out to Ahab's house by Jehu/Yahu.

1Ki21:19 You shall speak to him, saying, thus says Yahuah, have you murdered and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, thus says Yahuah In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth the dogs shall lick up your blood, even yours.

1Ki21:20 Achab said to EliYahu, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he said, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of Yahuah.

1Ki21:21 Behold, I shall bring evil upon you, and shall utterly sweep you away, and shall cut off from Achab those that urinating against the wall, and him that is shut up, and left in Yisra’El; 

Who urinates against the wall? The sons of course. Hence, the prophecy that dogs will lick up his blood from the chariot and his sons being killed was prophesied. When Ahab heard the woe's prophesied against him and his house, he humbled himself and tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and fasted. Yahuah told AlaYahu/Elijah that he would not bring the evil He pronounced in Ahab's days but in his son's days because Ahab humbled himself.

1Ki21:27 And it came about when Achab heard these words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth upon his flesh and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went quietly.

1Ki21:28 Then the word of Yahuah came to EliYahu the Tishbite, saying,

1Ki21:29 Do you see how Achab has humbled himself in the presence of Me? Because he has humbled himself in the presence of Me, I shall not bring the evil in his days, but I shall bring the evil upon his house in his son’s days.

Now coming back to Jehu/Yahu taking vengeance on Yahuram; 1 Kings 21 doesn't record the entire woe's against Achab's sons. But Yahu/Jehu was instructed by the prophet Alaysha/Elisha on how the judgement has to be executed and that's how we see Nabouth's vineyard which his father took deceitfully and killed Nabouth, this vengeance is taking on Yahuram and his blood relatives.

2Ki9:25 And he said to Bidqar his officer, Take up and cast him into the property of the field of Naboth the Yizreelite, for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that Yahuah laid this oracle against him:

2Ki9:26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, says Yahuah, and I shall repay you in this property, says Yahuah. Now then, take and cast him into the property, according to the word of Yahuah.

2Ki9:27 When AchazYah the king of Yahudah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Yahu pursued after him and said, Shoot him, him too, in the chariot, at the ascent of Gur, which is at Yibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

The key words to understand here are: "...for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that Yahuah laid this oracle against him:" and also to understand the judgement to be meted out in 2Kings 9:26 as mentioned in the scripture above.

This is a clear indication that Jehu/Yahu is telling his officer Biqdar to recollect that they rode together, where? To the prophet to understand in the way the judgment has to be executed. How would they know that Yahuah laid this oracle against him unless the prophet told them when they rode to his place?

Ahaziah king of Yahudah fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu/Yahu pursued after him has to be understood in a time lapse as Jehu/Yahu will not turn after him until he has completed the execution of vengeance on the house of Ahab, moreover, Ayzabel/Jezebel was yet left to be executed. We read in a few verses down:

2Ki9:30 When Yahu came to Yizreel, Yizebel heard of it, and she had put on paint her eyes and adorned her head and looked out at the window.

2Ki9:31 As Yahu came to the gate, she said, Is it well, Zimri, your master’s murderer?

2Ki9:32 And he lifted up his face to the window and said, Who is with me? Who? And two or three eunuchs looked out to him.

2Ki9:33 He said, Throw her down. And they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot.

2Ki9:34 And he came in, he ate and drank, and he said, Now look after this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.

2Ki9:35 And they went to bury her, but they found nothing of her except the skull and the feet and the palms of the hands.

2Ki9:36 And they came back and told him. And he said, It is the word of Yahuah  which He spoke by the hand of His servant EliYahu the Tishbite, saying, In the property of Yizreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Izebel;

2Ki9:37 and the corpse of Izebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the property of Yizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Izebel.

The event of killing Ahaziah/AchazYahu king of Yahudah is mentioned just before the execution of Ayzabel/Jezebel with an interjection verse & that interjection verse is 2Kings 9:29.

2Ki9:28 Then his (Ahazia/AchazYahu)  servants carried him in a chariot to Yerushalam and buried him in his grave with his fathers in the city of Dawid. 

2Ki9:29 And in the eleventh year of Yoram, the son of Achab, AchazYah reigned over Yahudah. 

Why would there be an interjection verse i.e. 2Kings 9:29 when AchazYahu was already killed and buried. And there is a shift from here towards scripture telling us 2Ki9:30 When Yahu came to Yizreel, Ayzabel heard of it...

This shows that Jehu/Yahu was coming deeper into Yizreel towards her house after executing Yahuram/Jehoram her son. The events of judgement mentioned are not in chronological order. While we will look at Chronicles, the other first blush meaning contradiction is between 2Kings 8:25 where we read in the 12th year of Yehoram AchazYahu king of Yahudah began to rule & 2 Kings 9:29 where we read in the 11th year of Yoram AchazYahu king of Yahudah began to rule. Our eye by the Ruach needs to catch the information revealed. Below are the verses:

2Ki8:25 In the twelfth year of Yoram the son of Achab king of Yisra’El, AchazYahu the son of Yahuram king of Yahudah reigned.

2Ki9:29 And in the eleventh year of Yoram, the son of Achab, AchazYah reigned over Yahudah. 

So, is it in the 12th or 11th year of Yoram did AchazYahu king of Yahudah rule?

Both are correct as the writer of Kings is giving us 2 perspectives of how a reign was calculated i.e., a difference of calculation system in Yasharal and in Yahudah, where Yasharal calculated the reign of a king from the day of his ascension to the throne, Yahudah calculated the reign from the New Year and hence the delay of 1 year. Notice in 2 Kings 8:25 the nabi mentions "king of Yasharal" ''the son of Yahuram'' while in 2King 9:29 he mentions "the son of Achab, the son of Achab" with both ''king of Yasharal'' and ''son of Yahuram'' missing in 2 Kings 9:29.

Remember, we are seeing a dynastical view of lineage from Omri in 2Kings 8:25 and a non-dynastical reign in 2Kings 9:29 from Yahudah's perspective. In Yahudah the calculation of a reign is from their new year reign calculation system. Hence, in our count we took the 12 years of Yahuram/Jehoram (as per Yasharal's system of calculation of a reign) as he was the son of Achab from the Omri's dynasty denoted by ''king of Yasharal'' & "the son of Yahuram". AchazYahu is related to the dynasty as a son by law, as his mother was the daughter of Ahab and hence 2 Kings 8:25 says ''AchazYahu the son of Yahuram/Jehoram'' as Yahuram/Jehoram had married the daughter of Achab/Ahab. 

Now back to understanding why would there be an interjection verse after the burial of AchazYahu?

2Ki9:29 And in the eleventh year of Yoram, the son of Achab, AchazYah reigned over Yahudah. 

And then verse 30 states Yahu/Jehu entering deeper into Yizreel to the gate to execute judgement on Ayzabel? This clearly shows that the verses are not in chronological order. We see that Ayzabel had already heard that her son Yahuram was killed by Yahu/Jehu as in 2Kings 9:31 she addresses him "Is it well, Zimri, your master's murderer?"

2Ki9:30 When Yahu came to Yizreel, Yizebel heard of it, and she had put on paint her eyes and adorned her head and looked out at the window. 

2Ki9:31 As Yahu came to the gate, she said, Is it well, Zimri, your master’s murderer?

We already read about Zimri, how he had conspired against Elah the king and how Omri was made a king when he burnt the kings house upon himself when he was encamped against. Here Ayzabel is tying the act of Yahu/Jehu to Zimri i.e., the rebellion.

Now the most interesting information we need to look up:

2Ki9:27 When AchazYah the king of Yahudah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Yahu pursued after him and said, Shoot him, him too, in the chariot, at the ascent of Gur, which is at Yibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

Jos17:11 In Yisasshkar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beyth-shean and its towns and Yibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Eyn-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Thaanak and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, the third is Napheth.

Yibleam was a town of Manasseh, some place within Yisasshkar and Asher's inheritance border. Yizreel was near Samaria and so was the Valley of Yizreel. The word Gur the translators didn't translate in English. Gur in Hebrew means stranger/sojourner. Where did Yahu/Jehu's men shoot Ahaziah/AchazYahu at? The answer is at the ascent of the sojourn which is at Yibleam. This means he fled from Yizreel to Yibleam, and we saw Yibleam was a town of Manasseh either in Yissakar or Asher.

We also have information that Megiddo was in possession of Manasseh. While Judges 1:27 says Manasseh didn't take possession of Yibleam (completely). Megiddo and other towns and villages when they became stronger, they put the Kanaanites to tribute but didn't drive them completely. 

Jud1:27 But Manasseh did not take possession of Beyth-shean and its villages, or Taanak and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Yibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so, the Kanaanites desired to live in that land. 

Jud1:28 It came about when Yisra’El became strong, that they put the Kanaanites to tribute, but they did not drive them out completely. 

Hence, we have information of the time lapse which fits perfectly that Yahu/Jehu post killing Yahuram, his blood relatives and Ayzabel, he then pursued after Ahaziah/AchazYahu who was fleeing towards Yibleam and in the sojourn he was shot by the archers. Now we need to decode the chronological order on how Ahaziah/AchazYahu was killed comparing with the Chronicles passages.

2Chr22:8 And it came about when Yahu was executing judgment on the house of Achab, he found the princes of Yahudah and the sons of AchazYahu’s brothers ministering to AchazYahu, and slew them. 

2Chr22:9 And he sought AchazYahu, and they caught him while he was hiding in Shomeron; they brought him to Yahu, put him to death and buried him. For they said, He is the son of Yahushaphat, who sought Yahuah with all his heart. So, there was no one of the house of AchazYahu to retain the power of the kingdom.

Remember, this judgement on Ahaziah/AchazYahu was only possible when the judgment on Achab's house was completed.

Here is how we understand and decode both the accounts:

Ahaziah/AchazYahu fled from Yizreel by the way of the garden and was in sojourn/Gur towards Yibleam where the archers were pursuing him & shot him at. He changed the course of his direction towards Megiddo. He immediately didn't die in Megiddo as stated in 2 Kings 9:27 because there is a time lapse there. The writer of Kings is letting us know that he died in Megiddo but just how is not revealed. Hence, being wounded and a search was being made for him in the Megiddo region by Jehu/Yahu and his men, he fled to Shomeron/Samaria and was in hiding. He was found there with the princes and sons of his brothers ministering to him. Was he partying here? How do we understand they were ministering to him? It's obvious that he was wounded. The Septuagint says this.

2 Chr 22:8 And it came to pass, when Jeu (Jehu) was taking vengeance on the house of Achaab, that he found the princes of Juda (Judah) and the brethren of Ochozias (Ahaziah) ministering to Ochozias (Ahaziah), and he slew them.

 9.And he gave orders to seek Ochozias (Ahaziah): and they took him while he was healing his wounds in Samaria, and they brought him to Jeu (Jehu), and he slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Josaphat (Jehoshapat), who sought the Lord with all his heart. So, there was none in the house of Ochozias (Ahaziah) to secure their power in the kingdom.

He was healing his wounds in Samaria/Shomeron. Which Hebrew text was the Septuagint translating from is not known but the Masoretic text doesn't mention he was healing from his wounds, but the Septuagint got this right here. When we read the Masoretic text, it's obvious he was being ministered to by his brother's sons and princes of Yahudah, just how is we need to read between the lines and understand. He was obviously not partying there to be ministered to. These sons of the brothers & princes of Yahudah mentioned would have accompanied him when he came to visit Jehoram/Yahuram the king of Yasharal who was recovering from his wounds at Yizreel. Now while 2Chr 22:9 says he was brought to Yahu/Jehu and put to death; the carnal mind would think Jehu/Yahu was in Yizreel. It is obvious that Jehu/Yahu's location is not mentioned as to where he was when Ahaziah/AchazYahu was brought to him. Hence, Jehu/Yahu would have been in the Meggido region when Ahaziah was brought to him from his hiding in Samaria/Shomeron and was killed by Jehu/Yahu there. And that's how we now can understand 2Kings 9:27 with a time lapse between he fleeing to Megiddo and he dying there. 2Kings 9:27 '...But he fled to Megiddo and died there'. 

And then his servants carried him to Yerushalayim and buried him. In a chariot is added there to tie to verse 27 as kings who died in battle/or killed would be transported in their royal chariot.

2Ki9:28 Then his servants carried him in a chariot to Yerushalam and buried him in his grave with his fathers in the city of Dawid.

The rest of the seed who were threat to the throne AtahlYah the mother of AchazYahu killed and she herself being to reign.

2Ki11:1 And AthalYah the mother of AchazYahu saw that her son was dead, she rose and destroyed all the seed of the kingdom.

2Ki11:2 But Yahusheba, the daughter of King Yoram/Jehoram, sister of AchazYahu, took Yoash the son of AchazYahu and stole him from among the kings' sons who were being put to death, him and his nurse in the bedroom. So, they hid him from the face of AthalYah, and he was not put to death.

Joash/Yoash was the only seed left of the house of the kings of Yahudah from AchazYahu/Ahaziah.

This is noted when Yahuram father of AchazYahu/Ahaziah (whose age is in question) became king of Yahudah:

2Ki8:16 Now in the fifth year of Yoram the son of Achab king of Yisra’El, Yahushaphat being then the king of Yahudah, Yahuram the son of Yahushaphat king of Yahudah became king.

2Ki8:17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Yerushalam.

2Ki8:18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Yisra’El, just as the house of Achab had done, for the daughter of Achab was to him for a wife; and he did evil in the sight of Yahuah.

2Ki8:19 And Yahuah was not willing to destroy Yahudah, for the sake of Dawid His servant, since He had said to him to give a lamp to him through his sons all the days.

  

In Conclusion:

Omri was a commander of the army made king by the people of Yasharal. His dynastical blood line doesn't reveal which tribe he and his sons belonged to. Omri, Ahab, Ahaziah (Ahab's son), Jehoram (Ahab's son), AthalYah (Ahab's daughter) none of them have their ethnicity revealed. This 42-year-old dynasty unto AchazYah who was son by law to this dynasty through his father Yahuram (also the rule is attributed to kings and not a self proclaimed queen AtalYah) shows a trampling of the outer court as number 42 reveals. This dynastical wicked rule was over the 10 tribes was a type of the ha shatan rule and what it holds for the scattered people from these 10 tribes today is significant. 

1. The Gentiles (Yasharalites but no ethnicity) trampling the outer court for 42 months (Rev 11:1-2)

2. The living creature made war with Yasharal for 42 months (Rev 13:4-5)

3. 42 lads were torn up by 2 bears when they were mocking Alaysha/Elisha & he cursed them in the name of Yahuah, this shows a picture of the shaniy/two beastly kingdoms (one physical & one spiritual) tearing up the lads/yaladim (yalad means: ones brought forth) (2 Kings 2:23-24).

4. 42 cities to be given to the Levites (Numbers 35:6-7) plus 6 cities as cities of refuge to them. These 42 cities would be their habitation and the 6 where they could flee to if they mistakenly killed anyone and dwell there. We see the number 42 as habitation of Levites & understand that the Levitical priesthood today through carnal people claiming to be part of Yasharal trying to overpower the Malchitsedek priesthood by their man slaying Torah of sin and death, with nowhere to flee to. 

5. 1260 days where the Torah and the prophets (2 witnesses) prophesy is 42 months/chadashim i.e., 1260/30 days. Chadashim also means renewal. After this the living creature makes war and kills their testimony. (Rev 11:3-10).

6. Covenant Yasharal in the Malchitsedek priesthood is nourished in the wilderness for 1260 days which is 42 months/chadashim i.e., the renewal. (Rev 12:6) (1260/30).

7. This wilderness journey depicts the 42 places Yasharal encamped in their wilderness journey to the promised land i.e., the plains of Moab near Yericho, when they came out of Mitsrayim/Egypt (Numbers 33:1-49)

Numbers 33 encampments of Yasharal:

1. Sukkoth 2. Etham 3. Migdol 4. haChiroth 5. Marah 6. Eylim 7. Red Sea 8. wilderness of Siyn 9. Dophqah 10. Alush 11. Rephidim 12. wilderness of Sinai 13. Qibroth-hattaawah 14. Chatseroth 15. Rithmah 16. Rimmon-Parets 17. Libnah 18. Rissah 19. Qehelathah 20. Mount Shapher 21. Charadah 22. Maqheloth 23. Thachath 24. Tharach 25. Mithqah 26. Chashmonah 27. Moseroth 28. Beny-yaaqan 29. Chor-haggidgad 30. Yotbathah 31. Abronah 32. Etsyon-gaber 33. Qadesh 34. Mount Hor 35. Tsalmonah 36. Phunon 37. Oboth 38. Iye-haabarim 39. Dibon-gad 40. Almon-diblathaim 41. mountains of Abarim 42.  plains of Moab by the Yarden opposite Yericho

The 1260 number of days/42 chadashim (renewals) are all figurative of the wilderness journey Yasharal is in.

Hence, we see this dynastical kingdom of Baal worship where Baal in Hebrew means 'Lord/Master' is a replacement for Yahuah and His worship pattern. 

In conclusion meaning of the names of this dynasty:

1. Omri/Amri H6018 from H6014: make merchandise of/bind sheaves.

2. Ahab/Achab H256: brother or friend of his father (here Omri was his direct father)

3. Ahaziah/AchazYahu H274: Yah has seized (son of Ahab who died in 2 years)

4. Jehoram/Yahuram H3088: Yahuah raised (Ahab's son and Ahaziah's brother who ruled in place of his brother as his brother didn't have a son to rule on the throne).

5. Ataliah/AtalYah H6271: Yah has constrained (Ahab's daughter married to Jehoram king of Yahudah)

6. Jehoram/Yahuram H3088: Yahuah raised. (King of Yahudah who married Ataliah daughter of Ahab and the son in law of Ahab)

6. Ahaziah/AchazYahu H274: Yah has seized (son of Ataliah & Jehoram king of Yahudah & was son by law to the dynasty of Omri).

The dynasty began with Amri who made merchandise of the worship pattern followed by Achab who was a friend or brother to that pattern, followed by Ahaziah son of Ahab whom Yah seized him away from the land of the living as he ruled only 2 years (1Kings 22:51), followed by Yahuram/Jehoram whom Yahuah raised instead i.e., son of Ahab , simultaneously Yahuah raised another Yahuram (Yahu raised) king of Yahudah who married the daughter of Ahab, AthalYah whom Yahuah constrained (from killing Yoash who was the only seed left of the kingdom of Yahudah), whose seed was AchazYahu whom Yahuah seized as he ruled only 1 year (2Chr 22:2). Spiritually this dynasty sits as Ayzabel which has 2 root words 'Ay' which in Hebrew means "Where" and Zabel in Hebrew means 'Dwell'. Hence, put together 'Where dwells'. So, where does she dwell? Within.

Rev 2:20 “But I have a few things against you, that you permit the woman Yezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to leads My servants astray to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols.”

And this shows Yahuah is in control in dispersing those occupied in the false pattern away from him while He brings Covenant Yasharal closer to Him giving them eyes to see. Shalum in Mashiyach to all those who believe and see the ruach in the letter!

Who was the chosen 12th Apostle?

Have you wondered why Shaul in his introductory letters introduces himself as an apostle by the will of Aluahym? In Galatians he introduces himself as an apostle not of the sons of men or by sons of men but through Yahusha the Mashiyach and Aluahym the Ahba. In 1Tim1:1 he introduces himself as an apostle according to the commandment of Aluahym, in Philemon he calls himself a prisoner of Mashiyach as he witnessed to Anisimos who was Philemon's slave when in prison, Anisimos had fled from his master Philemon and Shaul was writing a letter of appeal to take him back. So, we see mostly Shaul introducing himself in his letters as apostle of Yahusha the Mashiyach by the will of Aluahym.

Rom1:1 Polos (Shaul), a servant of  Yahusha the Mashiyach, called to be an apostle and set apart to the Good News of Elohim,

1Cor1:1 Polos (Shaul) is called as an apostle of Yahusha the Mashiyach by the will of Elohim, and Sostenis our brother,

2Cor1:1 Polos (Shaul), an apostle of the Mashiyach Yahusha by the will of Elohim, and Timothios our brother, To the assembly of Elohim which is at Qorintos with all the saints who are in Akaya:

Gal 1:1 Polos (Shaul), an apostle (not of the sons of men nor by sons of men, but through Yahusha the Mashiyach and Elohim the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

Eph1:1 Polos (Shaul), an apostle of  Yahusha the Mashiyach by the will of Elohim, to the holy ones who are located at Ephesos and who are faithful in the Mashiyach Yahusha.

Col1:1 Polos (Shaul), an apostle of Yahusha the Mashiyach by the will of Elohim, and Timothios our brother,

1Tim1:1 Polos (Shaul), an apostle of the Mashiyach Yahusha  according to the commandment of Elohim our Savior, and of the Adon Yahusha the Mashiyach, our hope.

2Tim1:1 Polos (Shaul), an apostle of Yahusha the Mashiyach by the will of the Elohim, according to the promise of life which is in the Mashiyach Yahusha 

Tit1:1 Polos (Shaul), a servant of Elohim and an apostle of  Yahusha the Mashiyach, according to the faith of those chosen of Elohim and the knowledge of the truth which is according to reverence,

Phm1:1 Polos (Shaul), a prisoner of the Mashiyach Yahusha, and Timothios the brother, to Phileymon the beloved and the assistant with us,

Before we understand why Shaul in his salutations introduces himself as an apostle by the will of Aluahym, we must understand that none of the other apostles who wrote letters had to introduce themselves in this manner. Their salutation was straight forward as 'a servant of Aluahym and of our Adon Yahusha ha Mashiyach' or 'an apostle of Yahusha ha Mashiyach' etc. There are no 'by the will of Aluahym' part in salutations in the other apostle's letters.

Here are the other apostles' salutations: 

Jam1:1 Ya’aqob (James), a servant of Elohim and of our Adon (Master) Yahusha the Mashiyach, ask for peace to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion.

1Pe1:1 Petros (Kepha), an apostle of Yahusha the Mashiyach, to the inhabitants scattered throughout Pantos, Galatya, Qapodeqia, Asya, and Bithinyia.

2Pe1:1 Shimeon Petros (Kepha), a servant of Yahusha the Mashiyach and His apostle, to them that have obtained the precious faith as that is to us, by the righteousness of our El and our Savior, Yahusha the Mashiyach.

2Joh1:1 The elder to the chosen lady and to her children, whom I love it in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth, 

3Joh1:1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love it in truth. 

Jude1:1 Yahudah, a servant of  Yahusha the Mashiyach, and brother of Ya’aqob (James), to those who are called, in which they are beloved in Elohim the Father, and preserved in Yahusha the Mashiyach:

 An apostle שליח is a sent one/emissary/messenger on behalf of and had to be eyewitnesses of the one who sent him, though not all eyewitnesses were apostles.

1Cor15:4 and He was buried, and He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

1Cor15:5 and He was seen by Keypha, after him to the twelve.

1Cor 15:6 After that He was seen by over more than five hundred brothers at one time, of whom many ones remain until now, but some of them have fallen asleep.

1Cor15:7 after that He was seen by Yaaqob, after him by all the apostles.

1Cor15:8 and after all of them, He was seen by me also, as if to one born out of due time.

Shaul the emissary speaking about the resurrection of the dead, speaks of our Master's resurrection and as to who saw him.

1. He first says, He was seen by Kepha: 

1Cor15:5 and He was seen by Keypha, after him to the twelve.

Some Shaul/Paul haters quickly point Luke 24:12 to show Kepha/Shimeon had not seen the resurrected Mashiyach Yahusha yet.

Luke 24:12 Petros (Kepha) arose and ran to the tomb and peered in, but he did not see anything but the burial garments resting there, so he returned to his place, astonished about what had happened.

But the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus one of them whose name was Qeleophas (Luke 24:18) and the other unknown testify that they saw the risen Yahusha Mashiyach just as was seen by Shimeon (referring to Kepha)

Luke24:34 saying, “saying, "The Adon has risen indeed, and He has appeared to Shimeon”

It's just that the instance of the actual appearance to Shimeon/Kepha is not recorded in the gospels/basharah's.

2. after him to the twelve: Again Paul/Shaul haters point out there were 11 apostles and not 12 as Yahudah Iscariot was dead. What they fail to understand is when Shaul was writing the Corinthian letter, MattithYahu was already incorporated into the 11 as the 12th apostle by lots (which I will touch base a bit later). Also, Thoma was missing when Yahusha had appeared to them.

Acts 1:26 They cast their lots and the lot fell on MattithYahu. and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

In the first appearance to His apostles, Thoma was not there.

John 20:24 Thoma who is called Didumos, one of the twelve, had not been in their midst when `Yahusha entered. 

Mark 16:14 Finally He appeared to the eleven as they were reclining to eat. He reproached their lack of faith and the hardness of their heart, that they did not believe those who saw Him that He had been awakened from the dead. 

Hence, the sequence of events were as follows: When Yahusha appeared to the apostles, there were 10 of them and Thoma the 11th was missing & Yahuchanan in his basharah/gospel gives a description of his absence and then re-appearing to the 11. MattithYahu had not yet been incorporated into the twelve, he was incorporated post Yahusha's ascension. 

Acts1:22 “beginning with the immersion of Yahuchanan until the day when He was taken up from us, one of these should become a witness with us of His resurrection from the death.” 

Acts1:23 They put forward two: Yoseph called Bar Shabba who was also called Yustos, and MattithiYahu.

Mark 16:14 records 'Finally' showing all of the 11 were together when Yahusha appeared to them. And when Shaul was writing the letter to the Corinthian assembly by then MattithYahu was incorporated into the 12. There is no contradiction here.

3. Seen by over 500 brethren:

1Cor 15:6 After that He was seen by over more than five hundred brothers at one time, of whom many ones remain until now, but some of them have fallen asleep.

Again Paul/Shaul haters say he was lying as there were only 120 disciples in the upper room on Shavout/Pentecost when the Ruach ha Qodesh descended on them.

Acts1:14 All these were continuing together with one heart in prayer, and in supplication. They were the women with Miryam the mother of Yahusha, and with His brothers.

Acts1:15 In those days Petros (Kepha) stood up in the midst of the brethren, (the number of names of crowd together were about one hundred and twenty), and said..

The basarah's/gospels are silent on these over 500 brethren who were eyewitnesses of Mashiyach's resurrection, but Shaul mentioning them has to be seen in the light of scriptures and not hold on to the 120 gathered in the upper room. 

Matt28:7 Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going ahead of you into the Galil, and there you shall see Him. Behold, I have told you.

Matt28:8 They quickly went out of the tomb in fear and in great joy, and they ran to report to His disciples. 

Matt28:9 Behold, as they were going to report to His disciples, behold, Yahusha happened upon them and said “Shalom to you.” They approached and grasped His feet and bowed down to Him. 

Matt28:10 Yahusha said to them, “Do not fear. Go and tell My brethren to go on to the Galil, and there they shall see Me.”

 The women who were at the tomb were told by the messenger to report to His disciples that He has risen from the dead and He is going ahead of you into Galil and there you shall see Him as He said to you. And when Yahusha appears to the women and tells them to tell His brethren to go to Galil and there they shall see Me. The appearance to the 11 apostles was in the Upper room where later 120 were gathered in Yerushalayim at Shavout/Pentecost. Galil is not in Yerushalayim.

Where was the Upper room where they gathered?

Acts5:12 Through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were gathered all with one heart in the porch of Shelomoh.

Luke24:51 And it came to pass as He blessed them, He was separated from them and lifted up to the heavens.

Luke24:52 And they bowed down to Him and then returned to Yerushalam with great joy.

Luke24:53 They were continually in the Temple praising and blessing the Elohim. Aman.

The Upper room was called Shelemoh's porch which was in the temple at Yerushalayim.

Acts 2:6-12 states that huge crowds of people from every nation gathered to hear Kepha speak. Where would there have been room for great crowds of people, who were in Yerushalayim for the Feast of Shavuot/Pentecost, during the time of day that the Temple services would have been held? It would have had to have been somewhere in the Temple area, the only place where there would have been that much space!

Hence, Galil/Galilee is where the angel says the Adon will meet His brethren as He had said to them (which the gospels/basharah's are silent about the instructions given), and Yahusha confirms this with the women returning to witness to His disciples that He is risen.

Logically Yahusha met His apostles & disciples in Yerushalayim in the upper room atleast twice after His resurrection, why was there a need to meet the same audience in Galilee? It doesn't make sense if understood in plain sight. There were many people who had believed in Yahusha prior to His death and resurrection in Galilee, hence, it had to be a larger audience whom Shaul says over 500 brethren saw Him together which the gospels/basharah's are silent about & Shaul the emissary speaks about it.

Matt 28:10 Yahusha said to them, “Do not fear. Go and tell My brethren to go on to the Galil, and there they shall see Me.”

Mark 16:6 He said to them, “Do not be astonished.

You are seeking  Yahusha the Natsri, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. Behold, this is the place where they laid Him!”

Mark 16:7 “But as for you, go and tell His disciples and Phetros (Kepha) that He is going before you to the Galil, and there you shall see Him, as He said to you.”

Some attribute this appearance of Yahusha to the Sea of Tiberias incident as stated in Yahuchanan /John 21 where 7 of them went fishing. Again, meeting the 7 out of the 11 disciples at Sea of Galilee/Tiberias doesn't make sense unless we understand there was a reason why He sent them ahead of Him i.e., to gather the over 500 brethren in Galilee which Shaul the emissary speaks about & which the gospels/basharah's are silent about.

John 21:1 And it came to pass afterward things Yahusha appeared once more to His disciples by the Sea of TiberYah, and this is the account of His appearance to them: 

John 21:2 Shimeon Petros (Kepha), and Thoma who is called Didumos, Nethana’El from Qanah which is in the land of the Galil, the sons of Zabday, and two more of His other disciples were sitting together.

4. Seen by Yaaqob, after him by all the apostles:

1Cor15:7 after that He was seen by Yaaqob, after him by all the apostles.

Shaul writes “after him by all the apostles,” at the end of his list, he is referring to the ascension of Yahusha ha Mashiyach. So, the appearance to 500 likely happened before the ascension. It is interesting that he places after that He was seen by Yaaqob. Again, the gospels/basharah's are silent on the solo appearance to Yaqoob the apostle. But both these appearances mentioned in 1Corin 15:7 are different i.e., for Yaaqob a solo appearance and after him all the apostles during the ascension.

Luke24:50 He led them outside the city as far as Bethany, and He lifted His hands and blessed them. 

Luke24:51 And it came to pass as He blessed them, He was separated from them and lifted up to the heavens. 

Luke24:52 And they bowed down to Him and then returned to Yerushalam with great joy.

Mashiyach's ascension took place near Bethany which was on the slope of Mount of Olives. Matthew 28:16-17 passages are when they were in Galil and is not where He was ascended into heaven. Hence, when Shaul says "after him by all the apostles" definitely refers to His ascension.

Matt 28:16 And the eleven disciples went to the Galil, to the mountain that Yahusha had mentioned to them. 

Matt 28:17 They saw Him and bowed down to Him, but there were some of them who doubted.

In between Matthew 28:16-17 are the unspoken 500 brethren with the 11 apostles on the mountain in Galilee out of which some of them were doubting ones. There was no way the 11 would have doubted by now as this was at least a 3rd appearance to the 11 apostles and Thoma the doubters doubt was clarified in Yerushalayim by the Adon when He asked him to put his finger into his side and the nail prints and Thoma had confessed ''My Yahuah, My Aluahym".

Remember Yahusha appeared to His disciples over a period of 40 days after His resurrection, hence, the appearances with their geographical locations is important and significant to understand and distinguish.

Acts 1:3 To whom He also presented Himself alive to them after His suffering, by many proofs, being seen of them forty days and speaking concerning the kingdom of the Elohim.

Acts1:4 While they ate together, He commanded them not to depart from Yerushalam, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard from Me.

Acts1:12 They returned and went to Yerushalayim from the mount being called the mountain of HaZeythim (Mount of Olives), which is near Yerushalam, as the way of a Shabbat domain.

This is proof that His ascension took place on the Mount of Olives which is near Yerushalayim and not Galilee where He had gone to meet the over 500 brethren.

5. After all of them, Shaul says He was seen by him:

1Cor15:8 and after all of them, He was seen by me also, as if to one born/ (Aramaic: דליחקטא d'alyaHTa /still born child) (Hebrew: דמה Silence as dead) (Greek: ekromati/untimely birth) out of due time.

1Cor15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, and unworthy of being called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of the Elohim. 

1Cor15:10 But by the favor of Elohim I am who is that I am, and His favor upon me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the favor of Elohim which was with me. 

All three words in Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek translated as 'born' actually means 'untimely born' & in verse 9 Shaul tells why he felt this way. In verse 10 He says, he is an apostle by the favor of Aluahym which is with him. Hence, he too was an eyewitness of Yahusha's resurrection when he was on the way to Damascus and heard the Master speak with him in the Hebrew language and was told his mission. The details on his conversion accounts can be read here: Tents of Shem: Shaul's conversion accounts in Acts 9, 22 & 26, contradiction or harmony? (dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com)

Coming back to 1 Corin 15:10 in comparison to his salutation 'by the will of Aluahym' and his salutation to the Galatian assembly 'an apostle (not of the sons of men nor by sons of men), but through Yahusha the Mashiyach and Elohim the Father' is evidence that Shaul is speaking that he was not appointed by casting lots but by Yahusha Himself. He like the 12 (including Yahudah Iscariot) was handpicked by the Adon. This is confirmed in his salutation in 1Tim 1:1... an apostle of the Mashiyach Yahusha  according to the commandment of Elohim our Savior, and of the Adon Yahusha the Mashiyach..

What other sense would it make with these standing out salutations?

We can only understand this based on what 'casting of lots' mean. In OT casting of lots had a significance of wiping out all ambiguity concerning any deal/allotment in settling a matter. The only time casting of lot in a religious ceremony was on the Day of Atonement when Aharon cast lots between the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat (Lev 16:8). Rest all matters it was never part of Torah instruction but was a custom.

Prov 18:18 The lot/goral גורל H1486 causes arguments to cease and decides between the mighty ones. 

'goral' H1486 were colored stones cast to make a decision.

Prov 16:33 The lot is cast into the bosom, but its every decision or act of deciding/mishpat H4941 is from Yahuah.

Proverbs 16:33 should be understood in a proper way as it could mislead people into relying on spiritual decisions by casting lots which is an improper way to do it. What the verse is showing us is that Yahuah is Sovereign, and the act of final deciding is from Yahuah. There can be 2 outcomes of Prov 16:33:

1. What is agreed upon was Yahuah's direct will.

2. Yahuah's permissive will, but His direct will be revealed later in His way as He would align everything according to His will in His time. 

An example of Yahuah's perfect will could be understood from Yonah 1:7

And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Yonah.

The storm in the sea was due to Yonah fleeing away from Yahuah. In order to save the lives of those on the ship, Yahuah allowed the casting of lot to fall on Yonah.

An example of permissive will can be seen here:

There were 7 tribes out of 12 who had not yet received their inheritance. It was necessary that the inheritance would be divided among them so that each tribe receiving their inheritance wouldn't say it was not done fairly. While Yahushua cast lots for them and allotted them the lands as per the lots, the rule was as stated in Jos 18:5 i.e., Yahudah shall stay in its territory in the south and the house of Yoseph shall stay in their territory on the north. 

Jos18:2 There remained among the sons of Yisra’El seven tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.

Jos18:3 So Yahushua said to the sons of Yisra’El, How long shall you fail to go in to possess the land which Yahuah, the El of your fathers, has given you? 

 Jos18:4 Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall return to me

Jos18:5 They shall divide it into seven portions; Yahudah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Yoseph shall stay in their territory on the north. 

Jos18:6 You shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description hither to me. I shall cast lots for you here before Yahuah our El.

But we see in the days of Yeroboam's golden calves, he set up priests from all classes to serve the golden calves and minister to the children of Yasharal. But those faithful i.e., the priests of Levites and few other from other tribes crossed over to Yahudah to be under Rehoboam who served Yahuah.

2Ch 11:13 And from all their borders the priests and the Lĕwites who were in all Yisra’ĕl took their stand with him/Rehaboam. 

2Ch 11:14 For the Lĕwites left their open lands and their possessions and came to Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, for Yaroḇʽam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests unto יהוה, 

2Ch 11:15 as he appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for goats, and the calf idols which he had made. 

2Ch 11:16 And after the Lĕwites left, those from all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, such as set their heart to seek יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, came to Yerushalayim to offer to יהוה Elohim of their fathers. 

In the days of Asa king of Yahudah many of the scattered of Yasharal crossed over to Yahudah. These people from different tribes were absorbed into Yahudah. Those who remained on the other side were carried captive by the king of Ashshur later because they were unfaithful to Yahuah and worshiped the golden calves and other gods/mighty ones.

2Ch 15:9 and gathered all Yehuḏah and Binyamin, and those who sojourned with them from Ephrayim, and Menashsheh, and Shimʽon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Yisra’ĕl when they saw that יהוה his Elohim was with him/Asa. 

We also see Ephrathites of Bayth Lacham, Yahudah. The inheritance of Ephrayim son of Yoseph was beyond the Yarden so how did they have an inheritance in Bayth Lacham a city of Yahudah?

Jos 17:5 And ten portions fell to Menashsheh, besides the land of Gilʽaḏ and Bashan, which were beyond the Yardĕn,
Jos 17:6 because the daughters of Menashsheh received an inheritance among his sons. And the rest of Menashsheh’s sons had the land of Gilʽaḏ.
Jos 17:7 And the border of Menashsheh was from Ashĕr to Miḵmethath, which is on the face of Sheḵem. And the border went up to the right to the inhabitants of Ěn Tappuwaḥ.
Jos 17:8 The land of Tappuwaḥ belonged to Menashsheh, but Tappuwaḥ on the border of Menashsheh belonged to the children of Ephrayim.

It is interesting to see Kaleb a descendant of the tribe of Yahudah (not Kaleb the son of Yephunneh who also was a Yahudite but this Kaleb was son of Hetsron who was the son of Yahudah)  married Ephrathah who bore him Hur, Shobal, Salma (the father of Bayth Lacham...1 Chr 2:51) & Hareph whereas Yĕsher, Shoḇaḇ, and Ardon were his sons through Azubah his first wife (1 Chr 2:18).  Places are mostly named after their sons as seen throughout the scriptures.

1Ch 2:50 These were the descendants of Kalĕḇ: The son Ḥur, the first-born of Ephrathah: Shoḇal the father of Qiryath Yeʽarim, 

1Ch 2:51  Salma the father of Bĕyth Leḥem, Ḥarĕph the father of Bĕyth Gaḏer. 

1Ch 2:52  And Shoḇal the father of Qiryath Yeʽarim had descendants: Haro’eh, half of the Menuḥothites. 

1Ch 2:53  And the clans of Qiryath Yeʽarim: the Yithrites, and the Puthites, and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites. From these came the Tsorʽathites and the Eshta’olites. 

1Ch 2:54  The sons of Salma: Bĕyth Leḥem, the Netophathites, Atroth Bĕyth Yo’aḇ, and half of the Menaḥtites, and the Tsorʽites. 

1Ch 2:55  And the clans of the scribes who dwelt at Yaḇĕts: the Tirathites, the Shimʽathites, the Suḵathites. These were the Qĕynites who came from Ḥammath, the father of the house of Rĕḵaḇ. 

In 1Chronicles 2:19 her name is written in a short form 'Ephrath'

1Ch 2:18  And Kalĕḇ son of Ḥetsron brought forth children by Azuḇah, his wife, and by Yeriyoth. Now these were her sons: Yĕsher, and Shoḇaḇ, and Ardon. 

1Ch 2:19  And Azuḇah died, and Kalĕḇ took Ephrath as his wife, who bore him Ḥur. 

1Ch 2:20  And Ḥur brought forth Uri, and Uri brought forth Betsal’ĕl. 

1Ch 2:21  And afterward Ḥetsron went in to the daughter of Maḵir the father of Gilʽaḏ, whom he took when he was sixty years old. And she bore him Seḡuḇ. 

1Sa 25:3  And the name of the man was Naḇal, and the name of his wife Aḇiḡayil. And she was a woman of good understanding and good-looking. But the man was hard and evil in his doings. And he was of the house of Kalĕḇ.

Nabal the husband of Abigayil was from the house of Kaleb. This Kaleb was the great-grandfather of the architect Betsal’ĕl.

Exo 35:30 And Mosheh said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, “See, יהוה has called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah, 

1Ch 4:1 The sons of Yahuḏah: Perets, Ḥetsron, and Karmi, and Ḥur, and Shoḇal. 

1Ch 4:2  And Re’ayah son of Shoḇal brought forth Yaḥath, and Yaḥath brought forth Aḥumai and Lahaḏ. These were the clans of the Tsorʽathites. 

1Ch 4:3  And these were of the father of Ěytam: Yizreʽĕl, and Yishma, and Yiḏbash. And the name of their sister was Hatselelponi; 

1Ch 4:4  and Penu’ĕl was the father of Geḏor, and Ězer was the father of Ḥushah. These were the sons of Ḥur, the first-born of Ephrathah the father of Bĕyth Leḥem. 

1Ch 4:5  And Ashḥur the father of Teqowa had two wives, Ḥelah and Naʽarah.

Hur and Shobal were the sons of Kaleb but in 1 Chr 4:1 Kaleb's name is not mentioned but his sons Hur and Shobal are mentioned as sons of Yahudah (not to be understood as direct sons but Yahudah's descendants or great grand children, hence we must link all the scriptures to see the beautiful picture)

1Ch 2:3  The sons of Yahuḏah: Ěr, and Onan, and Shĕlah, the three born to him by the daughter of Shuwa, the Kenaʽanitess. And Ěr, the first-born of Yehuḏah, was evil in the eyes of יהוה, and He slew him. 

1Ch 2:4  And Tamar, his daughter-in-law, bore him Perets and Zeraḥ. All the sons of Yehuḏah were five. 

1Ch 2:5  The sons of Perets: Ḥetsron and Ḥamul. 

1Ch 2:6  And the sons of Zeraḥ: Zimri, and Ěythan, and Hĕman, and Kalkol, and Dara, five of them in all. 

1Ch 2:7  And the son of Karmi was Aḵar, the troubler of Yisra’ĕl, who trespassed in that which was under the ban. 

1Ch 2:8  And the son of Ěythan was Azaryah. 

1Ch 2:9  And the sons of Ḥetsron who were born to him: Yeraḥme’ĕl, and Ram, and Keluḇai

Hetsron who was the father of this Kaleb was son of Perets whom Tamar the daughter-in-law of Yahudah bore for Yahudah. 1 Chr 2:21 records Ḥetsron went in to the daughter of Maḵir the father of Gilʽaḏ, whom he took when he was sixty years old. Makir was the son of Menashsheh son of Yoseph.

Gen 50:23  And Yosĕph saw Ephrayim’s children to the third generation. The children of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, were also brought up on Yosĕph’s knees. 

Num 26:29  Sons of Menashsheh: of Maḵir, the clan of the Maḵirites. And Maḵir brought forth Gilʽaḏ; of Gilʽaḏ, the clan of the Gilʽaḏites. 

Now let's see the lineage as mentioned in the book of Ruth:

Rth 4:18  And this is the genealogy of Perets: Perets brought forth Ḥetsron. 

Rth 4:19  And Ḥetsron brought forth Ram, and Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ. 

Rth 4:20  And Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, and Naḥshon brought forth Salmon. 

Rth 4:21  And Salmon brought forth Boʽaz, and Boʽaz brought forth Oḇĕḏ. 

Rth 4:22  And Oḇĕḏ brought forth Yishai, and Yishai brought forth Dawiḏ. 

1Ch 2:9 And the sons of Ḥetsron who were born to him: Yeraḥme’ĕl, and Ram, and Keluḇai (Kaleb). 

1Ch 2:10  Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ, and Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, leader of the children of Yehuḏah; 

1Ch 2:11  Naḥshon brought forth Salma, and Salma brought forth Boʽaz; 

1Ch 2:12  Boʽaz brought forth Oḇĕḏ, and Oḇĕḏ brought forth Yishai; 

1Ch 2:13  Yishai brought forth Eliyaḇ his first-born, and Aḇinaḏaḇ the second, and Shimʽa the third, 

1Ch 2:14  Nethanĕ’l the fourth, Raddai the fifth, 

1Ch 2:15  Otsem the sixth, Dawiḏ the seventh. 

Kelubai is a variant spelling of Kaleb (son of Hetsron who married Ephratah of the daughters of Ephrayim the son of Yoseph ) and he was the brother of Ram. Boaz came from the lineage of Hetsron through Ram and Kaleb the son of Hetsron through marriage to Ephrathah brought forth the Ephrathites who became permanent dwellers in Bayth Lacham which formerly was called 'Ephrath' when the Canaanites dwelt in the land, hence, we see Alaymalak (Elimelech), Naamay (Naomi) and their two sons called as Ephrathites. They are called in Ruth 1:2 as Ephrathites of Bĕyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah.

Mic 5:2  “But you, Bĕyth Leḥem Ephrathah, you who are little among the clans of Yehuḏah, out of you shall come forth to Me the One to become Ruler in Yisra’ĕl. And His comings forth are of old, from everlasting.

Since Ram and Kaleb were blood brothers (1 Chr 2:9) Boaz was the relative on her husband's side but there was one more closer than Boaz to Alaymalak (Elimelech) who has not been named who definitely would be from the lineage of Kaleb the son of Hetsron and he was given the first preference to redeem Naamay/Naomi's land and take Ruth to be his wife to give the dead man (Machlun) a name in Yasharal, but since he refused Boaz the Yahudite the next near kinsman redeemed both the land as well as Ruth. Isn't this amazing! This is evidence of Yahuah's will finally being revealed as He switches over tribes, switches over people from tribes to accomplish His will.

Num 33:54 You shall inherit the land by lot according to your clans. To a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance. Wherever the lot falls for anyone, that shall be his. According to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.

Num34:13 So Mosheh commanded the sons of Yisra’El, saying, this is the land which you shall inherit it by lot/goral, which Yahuah  has commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe. 

Hence, while the allotment of the land fell to the tribes by lot/goral, the counsel of Yahuah would stand as it is He who marks each person's boundary.

Acts17:26 “All the people of sons of men of one blood dwell on all the surface of the earth, having set the appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,”

Yahuah shows His decisive will in allowing pagan Roman soldiers fulfilling His will to fulfill scripture. Casting of lots was also done for allotment of priestly duties, gatekeepers, musicians etc in the temple as well so that there is order and binding time in fulfilling their duties without complaining.

John 19:23-24 When the soldiers had impaled Yahusha, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things,

1Chr 24:31 These also, the head of each father's house and his younger brother alike, cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites.

1Chr 25:8 And they cast lots for their duties, small and great, teacher and pupil alike.

But that doesn't mean casting of lots is the right way to choose an apostle as was done by casting lots for MattithYahu. While he would have been taken into the fold in place of Yahudah Iscariot, we see Shaul in his salutations showing that it was he who was chosen by the will of Aluahym, by the commandment of Aluahym, chosen not by man or men.

Acts 1:21-26 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Adonay Yahusha went in and out among us, beginning from the immersion of Yahuchanan until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” And they put forward two, Yoseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Yustus, and MattithYahu. And they prayed and said, “You, Adonay, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Yahudah turned aside to go to his own place.” They cast their lots and the lot fell on MattithYahu. and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Yahusha had handpicked His 12 apostles initially and hence, the apostles should have waited for Yahusha to hand pick His 12th apostle who would replace Yahudah Iscariot. Moreover, the Adon had instructed His disciples to wait for the Ruach ha Qodesh, it was just 10 days from when the Adon had ascended into heaven, they went ahead in casting lots to determine the 12th apostle. Yahusha in due time revealed who His eyewitness & handpicked apostle would be and through whom most of the Renewed covenant was written.

Acts9:15 But the Adon said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the gentiles and kings and before the sons of Yisra’El”;

Acts9:16 “for I shall show him how much he has to suffer because of My name.” 

Since Yahusha had been on earth for forty days after His resurrection and before His ascension, He could have designated another person to take the place of Yahudah Iscariot, yet He did not. His choice, Shaul of Tarsus, had not yet been converted who would be as one born untimely or out of due time (this is probably when Shaul calls himself as untimely born as he was not with the Master physically before his death and after His resurrection). While Shaul wrote that Yahusha appeared to the 12 i.e., "after him to the twelve", we can clearly see that MattithYahu was not even incorporated as the 12th apostle, but when Shaul wrote the letter to Corinthians he mentioned the complete number as MattithYahu was also a brother (whose geographical location is not mentioned) who would have been an eyewitness of Yahusha but not yet chosen as the 12th apostle yet when actually being the eyewitness to the Adon's resurrection.

1Cor15:5 and He was seen by Keypha, after him to the twelve.

Finally, we saw Prov 16:33 point no 2: 

 Yahuah's permissive will, but His direct will be revealed later in His way as He would align everything according to His will in His time. Hence, looking at Shaul, he was one born out of due time, Yahusha's handpicked apostle. Shalum!
