If you would actually go and check the Bible instead of carrying on like stuck hogs you might actually learn something new. I know I did, and I'm having fun following his posts. It brought me back to studying the Bible, which is more than anything you have done.
Keep at it Lost Tribe! Don't let the ba$tards grind you down!
Nothing. I'm asking questions. That's okay with you, right?
No, he is not. This is Basic Biblical History 101. Anybody who has read the books of the Prophets and Chronicles, knows that the Kingdom of Israel split during the reign of King Rehaveam ben Shlomo (Rehoboam the son of Solomon) with Yeraveam ben Nevat (Jeroboam the son of Nebat) forming a new kingdom of 10 of the tribes, and Rehaveam retaining control of Judah and Benjamin. At the time of the secession, many loyalists to the House of David, and the entire Tribe of Levi (who have not lost their identity even to the present day) remained with Judah and Benjamin (who became known as "Jews" following the conquest of the lower kingdom by Nebuchadnezzar).
The upper kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians several hundred years earlier and the "10 Tribes" sent into exile. Their identity today is not known, although many different theories have been put forth, one of which (although by no means the most credible) is LT's one-note mating call.
While the identity of the "lost tribes" is a legitimate topic for debate in the Religion forum, it is irrelevant, inappropriate and downright rude to barge in on every Mideast current events threads.
