3. King David knew a drought comes because of God's anger.
Rivkah   (09.25.09)
When a drought lasted three years in ancient Israel, King David went to the Prophet to ask why God sent a drought. The Prophet told King David that King Saul mistreated the Gibeonites and they were asking God for revenge and getting it in the form of a drought. David then went to the Gibeonites to ask how he could appease them so that they would stop asking the Lord for revenge. David appeased the Gibeonites. Who are the Gibeonites who have God's favor in Israel who are offended and asking God for vengeance? The Lord tells me it is the Haredim. Find out what is upsetting them and correct that and then if they stop asking God for vengeance, the drought should stop.
4. so he lets the gibonns hangs his family?
(09.25.09)
let seven of his sons be given to us, so that we may hang them up before the LORD at Gibeon on the mountain of the LORD." And the king said, "I will give them."

5. Who would vote for peres?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.25.09)
Is he running against nasrallah or achmedinajab to be president of the Jews? Isn't he already the father of palestine? This is nonsense since he is a loser! He would lose an election against assad to be president of the Jewish people.

7. It might be a specific person or group of people who called
Rivkah   (09.25.09)
on the Lord for vengeance in a matter. But one thing is certain: it is some one or some group that is following God's commandments and has/have God's favor for the Lord to avenge them with a drought. What happened in 2006 that might have upset the Lord besides affronts to the Haredim? The Sharon family was attacked with Omri being convicted of accounting errors that others commit who are not charged with a crime for doing. Gilad was vilified in the press for being the son of the PM who gave up Gaza. He was attacked for accepting employment as an advisor because it paid well, as if his expertise were not valuable. Ariel Sharon was not given proper medical care and had an iatrogenic (physician induced) stroke, if that is what happened. He may be a prisoner for political, religious, medical or family reasons. God is upset about the mistreatment of one or more righteous souls or a group of them. I would suggest a pardon for Omri since murderers are getting pardons if they are Muslim terrorists. Omri's conviction is not on the scale of violent crimes. The family should be compensated for the wrongful medical care such as the contraindicated injectable blood thinner that was an attempt to kill him in my opinion. His family should be compensated for the ER at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital failing to give him Caffeinol intravenous to reverse the iatrogenic (physician induced) stroke by reversing 80 per cent of the damage if given within 3 hours. The PM got to the hospital within one hour. Why wasn't he given that med? Medical malpractice or attempted murder?
