1. Shaul's War against Amalek (III)

   Chapter 15 (Part III)

   Rabbi Amnon Bazak

   In conclusion of our discussion regarding the war against Amalek will discuss two central questions: a - Who owned the coat that was torn at the end of the story, and why is the text ambiguous about the owner of the coat? b - What is the relationship between the defeat against the Philistines and the loss of Shaul's monarchy?

2. Shlomo's Punishment

   Rabbi Alex Israel

   Are Shlomo's three adversaries a threat only at the end of his reign after he has sinned, or  are they not so much existential threats in Shlomo's era, as the product of current dissent which becomes the seeds of future destruction?

   Shlomo's punishment is mitigated because of David. Why is Shlomo's fate different than Shaul's? What merit does David have that makes God swear to him that his sons after him can be punished but cannot lose the kingdom? 

3. Adoniyahu's Insurrection and the King's Clothing
