Happy to share this painting for my worldbuilding.

Set in the Levant at the Bronze Age Collapse-era, this is a painting I made of a Hebrew Judge. Judges were chieftains of the twelve tribes, before the election of the first king to unite all tribes.

Hope you like it!

Valentin de Boulogne (1591-1632) "Samson" Oil on canvas Tenebrism Located in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, United States The Book of Judges states that Samson was a Nazirite, and that he was given immense strength to aid him against his enemies and allow him to perform superhuman feats. This included slaying a lion with his bare hands and massacring an army of Philistines using only the jawbone of a donkey, both of which are depicted above. The figure of Samson might be a self-portrait of the artist.

"So Jahel, Haber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it with the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died"

Judges 4;21 Douay-Rheims Bible.

In the Old Testament’s Book of Judges, two women—Deborah and Jael—help defeat the Canaanite general Sisera. Now, archaeologists in Israel’s Lower Galilee have unearthed 1,600-year-old mosaics depicting their stories, according to a statement from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Led by archaeologist Jodi Magness, the team discovered the ancient art in Huqoq, at the site of a Jewish synagogue built between the fourth and fifth centuries.

“This is extremely rare,” Magness tells Religion News Service’s Kathryn Post. “I don’t know of any other ancient depictions of these heroines.”

The biblical stories portrayed in the mosaics begin when Deborah summons the leader Barak to fight the Canaanites. Barak and his army succeed, defeating all of the Caaanites but Sisera, who flees the scene to escape being captured by Israelite forces. He seeks refuge in the tent of Jael. She feeds him until he falls asleep; then, she picks up a hammer and drives a tent peg into his head, killing him.

The mosaics are divided into three parts, per the statement. The uppermost part depicts Deborah under a palm tree, gazing at the warrior Barak. The next image, only partially preserved, displays Sisera seated, while the lowest section shows Sisera bleeding on the ground with Jael above him. In addition to the mosaic, the floor also revealed a Hebrew inscription inside a wreath, along with images of four animals eating grapes.

Civil War in Israel

18 The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?”

Yahweh said, “Judah first.”

19 The children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah. 20 The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah. 21 The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground. 22 The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day. 23 The children of Israel went up and wept before Yahweh until evening; and they asked of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?”

Yahweh said, “Go up against him.”

24 The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 25 Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.

26 Then all the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before Yahweh, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh. 27 The children of Israel asked Yahweh (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?”

Yahweh said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.” — Judges 20:18-28 | World English Bible (WEB) The World English Bible is in the public domain. Cross References: Numbers 27:21; Joshua 7:6-7; Judges 7:9; Judges 19:16; Judges 21:2; 1 Samuel 11:4; Psalm 78:62; Jeremiah 36:9

HER STORY: Exodus Pioneers, Deborah
