Ŵaisrayeli mu Nyengo ya Davide na Solomon
CIUTA wakalayizga kuti waperekenge caru ku mpapu ya Abram ‘kwamba ku mronga wa ku Egupto mupaka ku mronga wa Yufurate.’ (Gen. 15:18; Ex. 23:31; Dute. 1:7, 8; 11:24) Kufumira apo Joshua wakanjilira mu Kenani, pakajumpa virimika pafupifupi 400 kuti Caru ca Layizgano cifike ku mphaka izo zazunurika.
Themba Davide likathereska uthemba wa Zoba wa Ŵaaramu, uwo ukafika ku Yufurate, kumpoto kwa Syria. * Kumwera, Davide wakatonda Ŵafilisti, ndipo ici cikapangiska kuti wakuzge uthemba wake mupaka ku mphaka ya Egupto.—2 Sam. 8:3; 1 Mid. 18:1-3; 20:4-8; 2 Mid. 9:26.
Mwanteura Solomon wakawusa ‘kwamba ku Mronga wa Yufurate kuyakafika ku caru ca Ŵafilisti na ku mphaka ya Egupto,’ muwuso uwu ukacitira cithuzithuzi muwuso wa mtende wa Mesiya. (1 Mathe. 4:21-25; 8:65; 1 Mid. 13:5; Sal. 72:8; Zek. 9:10) Nangauli vikaŵa nteura, cigaŵa ico Ŵaisrayeli ŵakakhalanga comene-comene cikambira ‘ku Dan kwizakafika ku Beer-sheba.’—2 Sam. 3:10; 2 Mid. 30:5.
Cifukwa ca kureka kupulikira Ciuta, Themba Solomon likajiwunjikira ŵakavalo na magareta. (Dute. 17:16; 2 Mid. 9:25) Likendanga na ŵakavalo na magareta agha mu ntowa na mu misewu yakupambana-pambana. (Josh. 2:22; 1 Mathe. 11:29; Yes. 7:3; Mat. 8:28) Pa misewu iyi, njicoko waka iyo tikuyimanya makora, nga ni ‘msewu wakufumira ku Beteli kuya ku Shekemu, na kuvuma kwa Lebona.’—Ŵeru. 5:6; 21:19.
Buku linyake lakuti The Roads and Highways of Ancient Israel (Ntowa na Misewu ya mu Israyeli Wakale) likuti: “Ncakusuzga kumanya umo mukendanga misewu ya mu Israyeli wakale cifukwa cakuti palije vimanyikwiro vyakumanyira kuti apa pakaŵa msewu ivyo vili kukhalirira kufuma mu nyengo ya Testamenti la Kale. Ivi vili ntena cifukwa cakuti [pa nyengo iyo] misewu ŵakaŵikanga malibwe yayi panji vintu vinyake vyakuyipangiska kuti yiŵe yakukhora.” Ndipouli, kawonekero ka caru na vintu vya kujima pasi vya mu misumba, vikurongora umo misewu yinandi yikendanga.
Misewu yikakhwaskanga comene mendero ya ŵasirikari. (1 Sam. 13:17, 18; 2 Mathe. 3:5-8) Kuti ŵakatimbane na Israyeli, Ŵafilisti ŵakenda kufuma ku Ekron na Gath mupaka ku cigaŵa ca ‘pakati pa Soko na Azeka.’ Ŵasirikari ŵa Sauli ŵakakumana nawo kwenekura ‘ku cidikha ca Ela.’ Davide wakati wakoma Goliyati, Ŵafilisti ŵakacimbira na kuweleraso ku Gath na Ekron, ndipo Davide wakakwelera ku Yerusalemu.—1 Sam. 17:1-54.
Misumba ya Lakish (D10), Azeka (D9), na Beth-Shemesh (D9) yikaŵa mu ntowa iyo yikajumpanga mu cidikha ca Shefela kurazga ku mapiri gha Yudeya. Mwanteura misumba iyi yikaŵa yakovwira comene pa kujivikilira ku ŵarwani awo ŵizira ku Via Maris (Ntowa ya ku Nyanja) kuti ŵareke kunjira mukati mwa Israyeli.—1 Sam. 6:9, 12; 2 Mathe. 18:13-17.
