Some walled cities of Bible times had an inner wall and an outer wall for maximum protection (see note on 2 Samuel 18:24).

Houses were sometimes built right into the city wall by placing them on top of these piles of rubble. Continue reading BIBLE CUSTOMS AND CURIOSITIES (A HOUSE ON A WALL) →

They are the most commonly mentioned instrument in the Bible, with seventy-two references.
