"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I can make your child Absalom's life comfortable after his death."
The owner of the voice did not appear, but his words appeared clearly in King David's ears.
At this time, King David was worried about how miserable the world would be after his beloved son died. He was shocked at first, and then felt a little happy in his heart: "Are you Satan?"
Great Judge Samuel once told King David that the afterlife of the Israelites would either return to God's heaven or return to the devil's hell, but the original devil was Satan.
"It's really smart. Yes, I am Satan. King of Israel, do you want to go to my kingdom and see what kind of life your favorite son is enjoying now?"
Satan still did not show up, but his words were so powerful that King David couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a long time, he said calmly: "Please lead the way, I want to see my poor child."
In the hell of Canaan, Satan and Baal looked at each other. This king of the Israelites finally fell into the trap. In this way, their plan will be easier to carry out.
In the Garden of Eden, both Adros and Marduk watched this scene happen. Marduk also smiled at Yahweh and said: "Your Excellency Yahweh, you are the God of Israel, and you don't care about your own children." People?"
Yahweh smiled indifferently: "I am just guiding them in the direction. As for what choice they make, it is up to them. If ordinary people think that hell is better than heaven, then let them choose hell; if they feel that hell is not what they want , Needless to say, they will also want to go to heaven."
David didn't know what Yahweh thought of him going to hell. At this time, his soul escaped from his body. He just felt that he was in a trance. He didn't know where he was going. He only knew how to follow the guidance ahead. OK.
All he could see around him was a vast expanse of white. Suddenly, his body shook, and the scene in front of him became gray.
Then, he found himself in a very strange place. In this place, he felt extremely cold and lonely. And here, he could see almost nothing, no mountains and rivers, no sun and moon, not even heaven and earth.
In the gray world, he suddenly heard a voice that was very familiar to him. It was the cry of his son Absalom. The sadness and helplessness revealed in this cry made David almost shed tears.
He tried his best to move forward, but he could never find Absalom. He wanted to speak loudly and let Absalom find him, but he could not make a sound.
King David was so anxious that he kept thinking about how to find his child and comfort him. There seemed to be beads of sweat on his forehead.
At this time, the environment around him suddenly changed, and something finally appeared in front of him.
This is an extremely gorgeous palace. At the top of the palace, his son Absalom is tasting fine wine on the throne. Around him, beauties of different styles are dancing around him.
Almost all of these beauties had half-exposed breasts, graceful figures, and youthful faces, which made David's blood boil when he saw them. It turns out that his son lived such a good life in hell
He wanted to make a noise, make his son notice him, and tell him something. But just like before, no matter what he said, no one looked at him and treated him as if he didn't exist.
David was about to walk over and greet his son directly, but suddenly a gust of cold wind blew. He shivered and then appeared in another place.
Satan and Baal looked at David who had come to them. Satan smiled and said, "Well, the scenery in my hell is not bad, isn't it?"
David looked at the two seemingly ordinary people in front of him and heard the same voice he heard in the human world. He knew in his heart that the speaker was the devil Satan in the original place.
The King of Israel took a deep breath and said slowly: "What I just saw, which one is true and which one is false?"
Satan said with a smile: "None of these are true, but they may all be true. It depends on how you do it."
"I wonder what Lord Satan wants me to do?"
Satan chuckled softly: "I will not order you to do anything, I will just give you a reason and choice not to do anything. Just now, Yahweh ordered Gabriel to come to you and give you an edict to anoint Solomon as the future king. King of Israel. I think this approach is extremely inappropriate. Just like a pack of wolves, the one who can eventually become the king must be the most powerful. Only by winning the throne through his own competition will his opponents be convinced, and he will Will cherish it.”
David didn't know what Satan was going to do. He just said lightly: "As long as I do this, Absalom will not suffer in hell?"
Barr, who was beside Satan, nodded: "Don't worry, devils are all about credibility."
David looked back at hell, then looked up again. He seemed to be able to see Yahweh's heaven, and seemed to feel that God was paying attention to him in heaven.
"Okay, I know what to do."
These were the last words David said in hell. The next moment, he returned to his palace again.
After coming back, David's heart was full of pain. He was God-fearing, and he had to obey the instructions God gave him; but he also loved his son, so how could he bear to see his son suffering in hell.
In the end, David did not listen to Gabriel and immediately anointed Solomon as the future king of Israel. But because of this, he has been suffering from beliefs and emotions in his heart.
Due to the inner suffering, King David, who was in excellent health, began to age rapidly. In just over ten years, he came to the end of his life.
In the last ten years of his life, King David failed to follow Yahweh's command and establish a successor. However, David continued to gather and elevate the king's power, and for the first time the king's power nominally exceeded the power of the judges.
At this time, they were no longer called judges. David regarded them as prophets. They were still guides for worshiping God, but they were not allowed to say a word about the king's policies.
Towards the end of his life, the rivalry between his two best sons became increasingly fierce.
Because Solomon was the heir anointed by Yahweh through heaven, David naturally treated the child very well. Originally, he did not follow Gabriel's instructions, so he felt ashamed of his son.
In addition, Solomon himself was extremely talented and had the support of the prophet Nathan and many foreign soldiers. Under David, Solomon's power was already extremely large.
Another son of David, Adonijah, was also an excellent prince and was supported by the priest Abiathar and the general Joab.
Priests are different from prophets. They are all products of David's rules on religious beliefs. Before this time, those who spoke to the people on behalf of God and were in charge of temple affairs were judges. Nowadays, there are no more judges. Instead of God, it is the prophets who walk among the people, and those who take charge of affairs are the priests.
And the general Joab was even more impressive. He was the general under King David and commanded all the infantry of Israel.
It can be said that with the support of the two of them, Adonijah still has the upper hand in the battle for the throne.
But in the end, Adonijah, who had the upper hand, failed. Within a few days of David's death, Solomon successfully ascended the throne and took control of the throne.
Solomon ascended the throne in Gihon, with Isaac as the priest, Nathan as the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, as the general. Adonijah's final outcome was that he was chained up on the altar by Solomon's soldiers and then put away. He was guillotined.
"I never believe that Satan has worked hard for so long to cultivate such a waste."
In the Garden of Eden, seeing Adonijah defeated in a great situation, God Lord Marduk shook his head and sighed. If this was the result, he would be very disappointed.
Yahweh's eyes were indifferent and pitiful, seeming to be sad for David and for Adonijah who died after David. As for Adros, he looked at the world with a half-smile. He probably knew what Satan and the others wanted later, but there was no need to say it out.
Solomon ascended the throne and inherited his father David's vast land territory: the Euphrates River in the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba in the southeast, and the borders of Philistia and Egypt in the southwest.
He married the daughters and sisters of kings from various places, one of whom was the daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt, who captured and burned the Canaanite city of Gaza and gave it to Solomon. Like all founders of empires, Solomon maintained his territory by force. In addition to infantry, he also had an amazing army of chariots and cavalry. The network of trading posts established by Solomon later became the core of the Jewish outer settlement.
The new Israeli empire was centered on commerce, with all government agencies serving trade. Solomon built legations around the capital, Jerusalem, for major foreign trade missions in Israel.
At the same time, King Solomon was ambitious and his decisions were wise and strategic. He vigorously strengthened the state machinery of his rule. Based on the twelve tribes of Israel, Solomon divided the country into twelve administrative districts. Each district was appointed by the king to have a governor. The twelve governors were under the control of a great governor. Official positions were held to facilitate administrative rule and collect central taxes.
The new king who ascended the throne at the age of seventeen also strengthened the defense construction of the capital Jerusalem, expanded the city wall of Jerusalem, and built six fortified cities outside Jerusalem, including Megiddo, Hazor, and Gezer. He also built storage cities, vehicle depots, Basic buildings such as horse racing fields.
In addition to being a powerful monarch, Solomon was also a famous poet who wrote more than a thousand poems. His Song of Songs and Proverbs were valued by the priests and prophets of Israel, and were included in the works written by Moses. In the Bible.
During the reign of Solomon, it was the peak period of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah. The army was strong, business was prosperous, and culture was prosperous. The Temple of the Lord and the gorgeous palace were built in Jerusalem one after another.
If that were the case, Yahweh in the Garden of Eden would definitely be smiling from ear to ear, but what happened next made Yahweh's eyes darken.
Solomon's mother, the soldier's wife who was once possessed by David, turned out to be a believer in hell. She had a great influence on Solomon, who helped her do a great thing.
This major event was the signing of a contract with Baal, and it was a contract signed secretly. The signing of this contract only became apparent when Solomon had a conflict with Egypt.
In the great war between Israel and Egypt, Egypt, as they often do, had gods appear early on. Yahweh was about to send his angels down to guard Solomon.
But then he discovered that there was no need for him to send angels over. Seventy-two demon gods from hell appeared on the battlefield and drove away the Egyptian gods.
The moment these seventy-two demon gods came out, Adros murmured: "Sure enough, did the seventy-two demon gods of Solomon appear in this world?"
Marduk was also surprised and said: "I didn't expect that they would actually think of this way of rebirth. There are geniuses in hell."
When Satan and Baal wanted to take away the souls of these gods from the Babylonian Triad of Cosmic Gods, Marduk was still thinking about how they would help these souls be resurrected and what treasures they would rely on.
Because as far as Marduk knows, there are actually many treasures that can re-incarnate the soul. The earth mother Gaia's soil of life, Yahweh's tree of life, Babylon's own light of destiny, etc. can all do this. at this point.
But Satan and Baal chose an ingenious method. They directly created seventy-two bodies, but did not give them souls. Then through the power of the human king, using the divine power of contract and summons, these souls are summoned to the body.
In order to prevent this step from going wrong, Baal personally differentiated himself into an incarnation of Baal, and asked him to take the souls of the remaining seventy-one demon gods and place them on top of these bodies at once.
From then on, the seventy-two demon gods appeared between heaven and earth. Among the seventy-two gods, there are eighteen main gods, fifty-four below the main gods, and among the eighteen main gods, there are four demon gods who have already stood on the top of the main gods.
These four demon gods at the top of the main gods are also called the Four Supreme Pillars, and they command the demon gods in all directions.
Baal, the Eastern King, is the clone of Baal. He is extremely tall and powerful. He holds a giant hammer in his right hand and fires a thunder ball in his left hand. He wears a conical crown with two horns on his head and thunder at his feet. Obviously, this Lord of Baal does not have a very clever method of differentiation. He can only maintain his clone to the top of the Lord God, and cannot enter the first level of Lord.
The southern monarch worshiped Mon. It seems that when Satan and Baal made him a body, they referred to the structure of the god. This god has a pair of gray wings on his back, has a female face and a male posture, and wears a jewel-encrusted The crown, mounted on a dromedary, faces oddly.
The Demon Lord of the South, Astaloo, has blood at the corner of his mouth, his whole body is black and exudes a foul-smelling poisonous gas. He holds a hell dragon in his right hand and can travel through time and space at any time. Of course, this is just one of her aspects, there is also an extremely beautiful and alluring aspect. In comparison, she is Baal's wife or sister. If she stays like this, how can she get Baal interested
Asmodeus, the last Northern Demon Lord, is the second woman among the Four Pillars. She has three heads, namely an ox's head, a human's head, and a ram's head. She has a snake tail and holds a hell dragon. One hand holds a spear with a flag. Likewise, this is just a form, and she is also a beautiful and alluring goddess.
"Satan, is this your plan?"
In the Garden of Eden, Yahweh spoke softly, as if talking to himself. But his voice reached directly into hell, into the ears of Satan, the founder of hell.
Satan grinned: "Yes, you can choose Solomon as your successor, and I can also choose Solomon. Fortunately, the king of Israel I chose looks pretty good."
