to spread into nations and become leaders
وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا [Q32:23-24]
Lets start with the historical events of 1000 BC. I haven't read thoroughly the events, simply summaries. But, if what I read is right, here is a very simplified timeline of key events:
10th | Prophet Solomon ﷺ inherited Prophet David ﷺ, and he was blessed to rule the most grand Kingdom in history. The Iron Age in the Near East. The Iron Age and Vedic Period in India. REF The Mandate Of Heaven of Zhou Dynasty in China | Ben David | Crown | |
9th | The Iron Age in Europe. REF | |
8th | The Assyrian conquered the Kingdom of Israel - the 10 Tribes were exiled. | |
7th | The Assyrian dominate, but later fell with the destruction of Nineveh. Scythian metallurgy in Eurasia. MAP | REF REF | |
6th | The Babylonian dominate. They conquered the Kingdom of Judah - the Jews were exiled and the First Temple was destroyed. Later, the Babylonian fell to the Persian. Under the Persian, the Second Temple was rebuilt & the Jews returned from exile. Faiths began across the world - Greek philosophy (in Europe), Zoroastrianism (Persia), Buddhism, Jainism (India), Confucianism, Taoism (China). | |
5th | Persian-Greek wars. Warring States in China. | |
4th | Conquests of Alexander of Macedon, spanning from Europe to the edge of India — they met the Mauriya and became Indo Greeks. Greek civilization spread (Hellenistic Era). Steelmaking in India and China. REF REF | |
3rd | Ashoka ruled Maurya Empire in India, and Greco Buddhism spread. The first empire of China, Qin dynasty was founded, followed by the Han dynasty. | |
2nd | The Romans annexed Greece. REF NCBI | |
1st | The Romans and Persians dominate. |
Ur David (1000 BC) is a naturally preserved mummy found in Xinjiang. Of European appearance, the Tarim mummies DNA is R1A1A | REF WIKI So, are they related to Brahmins (R1A1*) and Ashkenazi Levites (R1A1) | REF REF REF REF Haplogroup R is said to be the most prominent on Earth, which may have spread from Central to West Asia |
Before the Kingdom of Israel and Judah fell, the previous united Kingdom was the greatest under Prophet Solomon. ملكا لا ينبغي لأحد [Q38:35 | QA] They had the technology to smelt iron. وألنا له الحديد [Q34:10-11 | REF] So, with this higher civilization & might, was the kingdom a super state who protected and guided other nations? فأعينوني بقوة [Q18:83-98] זה דודי וזה רעי
Then after they fell, the Israelite spread across the world into nations. But they're still blessed with prophethood; so with their past civilization, did they taught the people they came to? لتبيننه للناس [Q3:187], ונברכו בך כל משפחת האדמה ובזרעך [Genesis 28:14] Were they very handsome as well, so the people embraced them as leaders? العلم والجسم [Q2:247 | QA]
Their brothers, the Ishmaelite did became leaders in Arabia (Quraish) - and they did spread East and West (Abbasid in China, Umayyad in Spain). ماشاء اللهبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
فقد آتينا آل إبراهيم الكتاب والحكمة وآتيناهم ملكا عظيما ...
... We had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom [Partial Holy Quran 4:54]
ولقد اخترناهم على علم على العالمين
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over (all) the worlds [Holy Quran 44:32]
So, did the same thing happened to the Israelite?
Word wise, Rei (רעי) in Song of Solomon 5:16, is like:It's a word related to leadership.
Rei رعي, Reis رئيس
(Arabic)Regent регент
(Russian)Roiyaru ロイヤル
(Japan)Reis (Turkish) Ríoga (Irish) Rai (Old Khas Kura) Rigas ρήγας (Greek) Roy (Old French) Rajya राज्य (India) Rex (Rome, Latin) Royal (English) Raja (Malay) Reich (German) Rey (Spanish) Rach ราช (Thai) Regio (Italian) Rei (Portugese) Reach រាជ (Khmer)
A grand thing to wonder about & I can only wonder.
I seek refuge in Allah SWT from errors.
Only Allah SWT Knows Best والله أعلم
