| | Amorites (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools |
 | | The Amorite kingdom continued to exist down to the time of the Israelite invasion of Palestine, and mention is made of it in the Egyptian records as well as in the cuneiform Tell el-Amarna Letters, and the Hittite archives recently discovered at Boghaz-keui, the site of the Hittite capital in Cappadocia. | | | From that time forward the Amorite kingdom was a dependency of the Hittite empire, which, on the strength of this, claimed dominion over Palestine as far as the Egyptian frontier. | | | Bente-sinas was dethroned by the Hittite King Muttallis and imprisoned in Cappadocia, where he seems to have met the Hittite prince Khattu-sil, who on the death of his brother Muttallis seized the crown and restored Bente-sinas to his kingdom. |

| | This is why Jesus restored his ear, as a sign that Malchus did not want to be free, and as a sign to Simon Peter that he was trying to do things the wrong way. | | | If there is any doubt, just consider those who have lived under the oppression of Amorites such as Fidel Castro or Saddam Hussein. | | | Even when the Amorites do kill these liberators, as they did with Jesus, their spiritual resistance cannot be annulled, since their blood cries out from the ground to God and unleashes God's righteous indignation on the Amorites. |

| | Like the Akkadians, the Amorites centralized the government over the individual city-states and based their capital in the city of Babylon, which was originally called Akkad and served as the center of the Amorite empire. | | | Like the Sumerians, the Amorites did not believe that life after death held any promise or threat, so like the Sumerians, Amorite religion ruthlessly focssed on this world. | | | For this reason, the Amorites are called the Old Babylonians and the period of their ascendancy over the region, which lasted from 1900-1600 BC, is called the Old Babylonian period. |

| | By this metaphor God enlarges on what he said before, that the Amorites had been exterminated, so that none of them remained. | | | The sum then is that God here complains that he had ill bestowed his blessings; and he reproves the people for their impiety, inasmuch as they did not lead a holier life after having been freely redeemed. | | | The more severe God's vengeance had been towards the Amorites, the more ought the Israelites to have extolled his favor: but when with closed eyes they passed by so remarkable a testimony of God's paternal love, it appears that they were extremely wicked and ungrateful. |
