The History Channel is going to have a show on tonight at 8 PM EST (those not fortunate enough to live in NY need to check your local listings if you even have TV's in your pathetic cultural backwaters) called "Bible Battles" which will examine the tactics and weapons of the battles described in the Bible. What are your favorite Bible battles (no lame jokes, please)?

Originally posted by rwingettThe ads for the program discussed Moses, King David, Joshua and others as military leaders, so I presume it will be limited to those battles actually described in the Bible. I wonder if we'll get a description of the wonderful Midianite Massacre (my favorite).

My favourite bit of Biblical guerilla warfare would be Samson & the foxes. The civil war between David & Absalom should be interesting. The various sieges of Jerusalem should be pretty colourful.

Ah yes, King David back in 1985. Richard Gere played the archaelogically absent King David, and there was one heck of a nude scene where Bathsheba bathed herself in full majesty on the rooftop.
Well, worth watching. And rewinding and watching again. and again.
and again.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageBored to death of the John Denver look-alike, I missed Gere's rendition. Did it cover the battle between David and Abbie?
It has plenty of drama. I don't know if Richard Gere was a good casting choice though.
I'd like to see a reworked version set in the War between the States.
