There was a war between king Abijah of Judah and Jeroboam of Israel. Abijah had 400,000 "chosen men" and Jeroboam had 800,000 "mighty men of valor."
Given that the entire population of Israel was less than 400,000 at this time, and that of Judah far smaller still, this is very impressive!
The cause was, according to the Bible, that the people in the Land of Israel went astray (i.e. commited strange worship), so they had to be put to death, according to the Law, as it is explained in Sanhedrin.
So just how did Jeroboam's men not notice the mighty men of Judah waiting to ambush them?
I mean, they had supposedly all been hanging around listening to speeches together.
Unless the 400,000 mighty men were all hiding behind a tree or something.
I'd love to know... believers - how do you explain that the ancient Israelites, in about 2000BC witnessed battles twice the size of Stalingrad ? casualties in one day greater than the entire American Civil War ? Fireballs more deadly than nuclear strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ?
How do you square all these ridiculous numbers ?
He's some facts...
The bible claims that the ancient Israelites of 5,000 years ago(!) maintained an army FIVE TIMES larger than modern Great Britain, the fifth richest nation on earth in 2010, with the fourth highest military spending per GDP and a population of 60million ?!
Isn't this OBVIOUSLY a load of bollocks ?
What do you think when you read this, I just don't understand... ?
I mean... looking at all these stoopid numbers....
How does a pre-industrial society of 5,000 years ago rival the modern United States - a military power with more power and pre-eminence than the great Empires of Spain, Britain, ancient Persia and Rome combined ?!!
What is your mental block that doesn't proceed to.... what a load of hilarious bollocks ?
@skanksta: It's god's miracles ofc. God loves slaughter, so if he gives the Israelites and their enemies more men, then he has more people to kill. Win for god. Lose for the people he killed of course, but who cares about them, they're going to burn in hell because their leaders sacrificed the wrong thing accidentally.
skanksta,
You suddenly brought to mind the theory of Alantis being an advanced civilization.
Maybe they were more populated than we are now, with higher tech weapons than we use now... and thats why this strikes us as impossible but are, in fact, very real.
Maybe Alantis is just the name of the Earth back when this ancient civilization ruled it and somehow, over the years, we've renamed it.
Next, we need to prove that the earth is really flat!
belated thanks.
Wow; Abijah must've been the William Henry Harrison of Israelite kings...
(Harrison had the long inaugural address of any U.S. President; curiously, he also served the shortest term of office, dying one month after his inauguration.)
