A Tale of Three Kings (Politics)By mercedo Sun Oct 23rd, 2005 at 02:05:51 PM EST

The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
Back in 589BC, Kingdom Juda was a tribute of Babylon, King Zedekiah came to be king, he was set as a figurehead of Kingdom Juda and thought to act according to the will of King Nebchadnezzar, all other kings were thought to be against the will of Nebchadnezzar and kicked out by King Nebchadnezzar.
Kingdom Juda under Babylonian rule enjoyed some prosperity in certain degree though it was a tribute of Babylon. Canaan(what is now Palestina) were thought to be important land geographically - knots of three continent, Nebchadnezzar had to help Kingdom Juda in order to defend his territory from the strong power in the east -Egypt.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. King Zedekiah was fulfiled, fulfiled enough to think about the possibility of seeking for independence from the rule of Babylon, then he allied with Egypy and made a rebellion against the rule of Babylon. Historically speaking, in the age of Moses, once he tried to seek for a financial help from Egypt, and King Solomon took his wife from a daughter of King of Egypt. According to Bible, Jewish people used to live in Canaan before they went to Egypt and after they spent several hundred years in Egypt, after the Exodus led by Moses Jewish people started settling down again in Canaan.
King Nebchadnezzar got furious. He gathered all his troops possible and attacked Jerusalem. Jerusalem fell. King Zedekiah captured. King Nebchadnezzar captured not only him but also lots of Zedekiah's country men, craftmen, educated people then took all of them to Babylonia, that is so called Babylonian Captivity. Jewish people had to spend many years till king cyrus conquered Babylonia and allowed Jewish people to return to their homeland.
King Cyrus not only allowed Jewish people to return to Canaan but also allowed them to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, once reknowned by its splender built by King Solomon.
Throughout the reign of Persian rule, Jewish people were treated very good. See The book of Esther, Esther-Jewish was married to Persian King and her caretaker Mordecai and overall Jewish people were treated good. The times at that time was thought to be a pax-Persia, all the people regardless of their national origin, treated fairly.

The common spelling and pronounciation for the king's name is Nebuchadnezzar.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. What? How about some spelling here. Maybe using English? This would work much better as "Then King Nebchadnezzar helped the Kingdom of Juda greatly, both financially and militarily."
You should capitalize "king cyrus" in paragraph 5.
Is this supposed to be a really nice way of saying we call all live together, Muslim and Dhimmi, if we can all just agree that the Muslim way is right? And pay for the privilege of being allowed to live as their serfs?[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

don't but a - hyphen in front of it. Instead use the italics tag ( word ), or use "quotes", some people like _underscores_ or *asterixes*, try not to overuse bold as it can appear messy."if you are uncool, don't worry, K5 is still the place for you!" -- rusty[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

Editorial: Don't repeat intro in text. (none / 0) (#5) by localroger on Sat Oct 22nd, 2005 at 07:39:48 PM EST(localroger@hotmail.com) http://www.kuro5hin.org/prime-intellect/
Don't repeat intro in text. It's the style here.
Also it's riddled with grammar and spelling errors too numerous to enumerate. In the very first sentence "The name of the three kings are..." should be "The names of the three kings are..." and it only goes downhill from there.
It is also not real clear, after trying to penetrate the grammar, whether this story has a point. So it may not be worth the effort of editing.I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds -- J. Robert Oppenheimer[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

A fool come to be the king. He rules all the territory of the former three kings, and he teaches all the people something called "demo-crazy." He killed all these who do not believe in demo-crazy and make trouble, and only the crazy demos stay. And all people there live happily ever after. And it is called the peace of Bush, or Pax Bux.2Q: What kind of fool are you? A: We are the United Fools![ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

Was there a point to this, or did you just vomit into the edit queue?Suggestions for improvement:1) Learn English. Your grammer is terrible and your spelling is also.2) Cite something. Your article is op-ed without sources.3) Have a point. If your point is in the last paragraph, it's not well illustrated.[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]
