The period covered by the Old Testament - beginning in
approximately 3000 BC - was one of great technological development
and innovation in warfare, as competing cultures clashed in the
ancient Middle East. The Sumerians were the first to introduce the
use of bronze into warfare, and were centuries ahead of the
Egyptians in the use of the wheel. The Assyrians developed chariot
warfare and set the standard for a new equine-based military
culture. The Babylonians had an army whose people were granted land
in return for army service. This authoritative history gives an
overview of warfare and fighting in the age of the Old Testament,
from the Akkadians, Early and Middle Kingdom Egypt and their
enemies, Mycenean and Minoan Greece and Crete, Assyrians and New
Kingdom Egyptians, the Hittites, the Sea Peoples who gave rise to
the Philistines, the Hebrew kingdom, the Babylonian kingdom, the
Medes and later Persian Empires, through to early Classical Greece.
Author Simon Elliott explores how archaeology can shed light on
events in the Bible including the famous tumbling walls of Jericho,
the career of David the boy warrior who faced the Philistines, and
Gideon, who was able to defeat an army that vastly outnumbered his
own.
