Isirayeli mu gihe ca Dawidi na Salomo

IMANA yasezeranye guha urubuto rwa Aburamu igihugu ‘gihera ku ruzi rwo mu Misiri, gushika ku ruzi . . . Efurate’ (It 15:​18; Kv 23:​31; Gus 1:⁠7, 8; 11:​24). Yosuwa amaze kwinjira i Kanani, haraciye nk’ibinjana bine kugira ngo Igihugu c’Isezerano gishikire izo mbibe.

Umwami Dawidi yarigaruriye ubwami bw’Abaharameya bw’i Zoba, ubwashika kuri Efurate, mu Buraruko bwa Siriyaa. Mu Bumanuko, Dawidi yaranesheje Abafilisitiya bituma yagura akarere gushika ku rubibe rwa Misiri.​—⁠2Sm 8:​3; 1Ng 18:​1-3; 20:​4-8; 2Ng 9:​26.

Salomo yaciye atwara “uhereye kuri rwa ruzi Efurate, ugashitsa ku gihugu c’Abafilisitiya ukagarukira ku rubibe rwa [Misiri]”, ivyo bikaba vyari igitutu c’ubutegetsi burangwa amahoro bwa Mesiya (1Abm 4:​21-25; 8:​65; 1Ng 13:​5; Zb 72:​8; Zk 9:​10). Naho ari ukwo, akarere Isirayeli yigaruriye, mu bisanzwe vyavugwa ko ‘kahera i Dani kagashika i Beri-sheba’.​—⁠2Sm 3:​10; 2Ng 30:​5.

Umwami Salomo yaragambarariye Imana, yirundaniriza amafarasi n’imikogote (Gus 17:​16; 2Ng 9:​25). Ayo mafarasi n’imikogote yabicishije mu runyurangane rw’amabarabara be n’inzira z’ibirari (Yos 2:​22; 1Abm 11:​29; Yes 7:⁠3; Mt 8:​28). Makeyi muri ayo gusa ni yo tuzi amakuru y’ido n’ido ayerekeye, nk’ “inzira iva i Beteli ija i Shekemu, i bumanuko bg’i Lebona”.​—⁠Abc 5:​6; 21:​19.

Igitabu kimwe kivuga ivy’amabarabara be n’inzira z’ibirari vyo muri Isirayeli ya kera (The Roads and Highways of Ancient Israel), kigira giti: “Ingorane iboneka ko ihambaye cane mu bijanye n’ukugira itohoza ry’urunyurangane rw’amabarabara ya Isirayeli ya kera, ni uko ata makanda agaragara y’amabarabara y’ico gihugu yo mu gihe c’Isezerano rya Kera akiriho, kubera yuko [muri ico gihe] ayo mabarabara atari ashashemwo amabuye”. Yamara, itohoza rijanye n’imimerere y’ahantu be n’ibisigarira vyacukuwe vy’ibisagara birerekana aho amabarabara menshi yaca.

Akenshi amabarabara yarafasha ingabo kumenya iyo zijana (1Sm 13:​17, 18; 2Abm 3:​5-8). Kugira Abafilisitiya batere Isirayeli, bavuye i Ekuroni n’i Gati baja mu karere kari “hagati y’i Sokoho n’i Azeka”. Ingabo za Sauli zabasanze ngaho, “ku mwonga Ela”. Dawidi amaze kwica Goliyati, Abafilisitiya baciye bahunga basubira i Gati n’i Ekuroni, Dawidi na we aca aduga i Yeruzalemu.​—⁠1Sm 17:​1-54.

Lakishi (D10), Azeka (D9) be na Beti-shemeshi (D9) vyari ku mabarabara y’inyamo yaca i Shefela akagenda yerekeza mu mirambi y’Ubuyuda. Gutyo, ivyo bisagara vyari ahantu heza umuntu yashobora gutangirira abansi baciye mu nzira yo ku mazi kugira ntibaze hagati na hagati mu gihugu c’Abisirayeli.​—⁠1Sm 6:​9, 12; 2Abm 18:​13-17.
