From Dan to Beersheba is a biblical phrase used nine times〔(Spiritual Watchers Over the Nations, Esther Ken Achua Gwan )〕 in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the settled areas of the Tribes of Israel between Dan in the North and Beersheba in the South. The term contributed to the position that was used by British politicians during negotiation of the British Mandate for Palestine following World War I. ==Biblical verses== It is found in the biblical verses:〔(Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, By Gabriel G. Tabarani )〕 1. during the Battle of Gibeah at the end of the Book of Judges ::"Then all Israel from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came together as one and assembled before the LORD in Mizpah." 2. during the "Calling of Samuel" ::"And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the LORD." 3. during the war between Ish-bosheth and his brother-in-law David following the death of Saul ::"...and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba." 4. during the rebellion of David's son Absalom ::"So I advise you: Let all Israel, from Dan to Beersheba—as numerous as the sand on the seashore—be gathered to you, with you yourself leading them into battle." 5. / 6. / on David's census of Israel and Judah ::"So the king said to Joab and the army commanders with him, “Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and enroll the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are." ::"So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are." 7. following David's census of Israel and Judah ::"So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died." 8. following Solomon's ascention to the throne ::"During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, lived in safety, everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree." 9. during Hezekiah's passover ::"They decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel. It had not been celebrated in large numbers according to what was written." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「From Dan to Beersheba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
