| | |  Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Salome Alexandra - Her internal and external policyThat the Pharisees, now that the control of affairs was in their hands, did not treat the Sadducees any too gently is very probable; although the execution of Diogenes of Judea, by whose advice King Alexander had 800 Pharisees nailed on the cross, speaks rather for their moderation than for their cruelty, inasmuch as the special reference to the execution shows that such acts of revenge must have been few. The Sadducees were moved to petition the queen for protection against the ruling party. Alexandra, who desired to avoid all party conflic ...

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Tzippori - History The city was established sometime around the year 100 BC, on a hill, giving it some degree of strategic advantage over the Hasmonean tribes which had taken over much of the region. The founder is said to be Alexander Jannaeus, and it was named after the Hebrew word for 'bird,' tsippor, perhaps because of the birds'-eye-view the hilltop provides.
In the year 37 BCE, the city was taken by the Romans, when, according to contemporary historians, the inhabitants fled during a snowstorm. The inhabitants of Tzippori organized a revolt ...

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Pool of Siloam - The Pool Through Time There would seem to have been at least three pools built, with various reconstructions over time:
Pool of Siloam - Hezekiah's Pool.
The first pool would have been built at the same time as King Hezekiah's tunnel from the Gihon Spring. The Siloam inscription was discovered in this tunnel in 1880, and is among the oldest extant Hebrew records. It is an accounting of the manner in which the water tunnel was constructed during the reign of Hezekiah. This pool would have been at least rehabilitated after the return from the Exile, in the early Second Temple period.

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Hippos - History
Hippos - Hellenistic period.
It is possible that Mount Sussita was occupied before Hellenistic times, but the city of Hippos itself was built by Greek colonists, most likely in the mid-200s BC. During this time, Coele-Syria served as the battleground between two dynasties descending from generals of Alexander the Great, the Ptolemies and the Seleucids. It is likely that Hippos, on a very defensible site in the north of Coele-Syria, was founded as a border fortress for the Seleucids. Its full name, Antiochia Hippos< ...

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Acre Israel - History Few towns have had a more chequered or calamitous history. Of great antiquity, Acre is probably to be identified with the Aak of the tribute-lists of Thutmoses III (c. 1500 B.C.), and it is certainly the Akka of the Amarna letters. To the Hebrews it was known as Acre (Revised Version spelling), but it is mentioned only once in the Old Testament, namely Judges 1:31, as one of the places from which the Israelites did not drive out the Canaanite inhabitants. Theoretically it was in the territory of the tribe of Asher, and Josephus assigns it by ...

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Pool of Siloam - Discovery of the Second Temple Period Pool In the Fall of 2004, workers making excavations for a sewer line near the present-day pool in the Silwan district outside the walls of the old city, uncovered stone steps.
Almost immediately, archaeologists Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron were on the scene, and it was apparent that this was likely the Second Temple period pool. Excavation thereafter swiftly commenced and confirmed the initial supposition. A portion of the this pool remains unexcavated, as it is owned by a nearby Greek Orthodox church and ...

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Pool of Siloam - Bible Hezekiah's tunnel is never explicitly referred to, but a celebratory inscription now in Istanbul records the event. Second Chronicles 32:2-3 does allude to this, however. A contemporary reference is found at Isaiah 8:6 which mention its waters, while Isaiah 22:9 ff. possibly makes a clear reference to the pool, in the context of the King's preparations for war, if not necessarily against Sennacherib.< ...

| | | | Alexander Jannaeus: Encyclopedia II - Pool of Siloam - Silwan This pool was identified with the Birket Silwan in East Jerusalem. Easton's Bible Dictionary describes Silwan as "in the lower Tyropoeon Valley, to the south-east of Mount Zion." The present-day area has been much changed by archaeological excavations and is now largely dedicated to tourists.
Easton's comments that
the water which flows into Silwan intermittantly by a subterranean channel derives from a spring renamed by Christians the "Fountain of the Virgin". The length of this channel, which has several windings ...
