Nathaniel Brassey Halhed (25 May 1751 – 18 February 1830) (Bengali: হালেদ, romanized: "Haled") was an English Orientalist and philologist. [1] Halhed was born at Westminster, and was educated at Harrow School, where he began a close friendship with Richard Brinsley Sheridan. While at Oxford he undertook oriental studies under the ...
Halhed did not know that merger and split of phonemes were common features in the development of any language. He did not notice that three sibilants had already merged into one sound at the proto-Bengali stage. Halhed accurately observed that the verb to do (karā) was often construed in Bengali with a noun. “The number of verbs,” he wrote ...
Deuteronomy 25:17-18 fills out the story: "Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God." The Amalekites, not daring to take on the main host of Israel, attacked the tail end of the line, where the slow and weak plodded ...
Jul 12, 2024 · Second, the Amalekites had attacked innocent people unprovoked. In the case of the Assyrians, God had used them to meet justice for the deep and horrible sins the Israelites had committed. God still did not allow the Assyrians to last, but he used them as a scepter of justice. Finally, the Amalekites likely heard word of what God did in Egypt.

Our text in this first chapter of 2 Samuel reminds me of the story of a young accident-prone American pilot. Everything the young man did always seemed to go wrong. He was stationed aboard an aircraft carrier during World War II, and there was considerable doubt whether this fellow would be allowed to fly, since no one knew what might happen. One p...
1 Now it came about after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David remained two days in Ziklag. 2 And it happened on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dust on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and p...
11 Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so also did all the men who were with him. 12 And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword. 13 And David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” ...
17 Then David chanted with this lament over Saul and Jonathan his son, 18 and he told them to teach the sons of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar. 19 “Your beauty, O Israel, is slain on your high places! How have the mighty fallen! 20 “Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the dau...
David’s response to the death of Saul is remarkable, but is it sincere? Is David simply gilding the lily here? Is he sweeping all of the evils Saul has committed under the rug? Is this hypocrisy on David’s part? I think we must conclude that David is completely sincere. There is no hypocrisy to be found in what David says or does here. I believe ev...

The poem takes the form of a dramatic monologue. Regular meter creates an informal tone as the speaker explains his actions. The equal stanzas could represent the commonality of experiences of war. Repetition and mirrored language illustrate a connection between the speaker and the man he killed. Hardy uses informal language to characterise the ...
