Lecture 23-24: israel -- from jeroboam i (927-906 bc) to jeroboam ii (788-748 bc) Palestine in the 9th and 8th c. bc: Acropolis = the 5 cities were the main philistine cities: The major philistine and pheonecian cities were able to expand. States, as the consequence of the expansion of local chieftains from their own small tribes, exerted their authority over empty abandoned areas. They were able to expand by collecting zes from multiple tribes, different ways: Phoenician trade in some ways spearheaded trade in various parts of the meditterraenean that were less structured and organized than areas in the levant. Characteristics of these small states (amon and moab etc): Expanding standing army (full-time experts of the military) Ways of collecting taxes in these city-states: corvees. From the 9th-10th c. bc, philistia economically stagnated in trade compared to phoenician. Overtime amon and moab were integrated into israel. The formation of the israelite kingdom was not as homogenous as we think.
