We then meet Terach ben Nachor and enter the dangerous world into which his son Avram was born.On the night of Abram’s birth, mysterious signs convince Nimrod that this newborn child will one day threaten his kingdom.

In Part 3 of Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah: Kohen and Warrior, we continue with the dramatic opening of Shlomo HaMelech’s reign and the final reckoning with the unresolved enemies of Dovid HaMelech. The episode begins with Beniyahu carrying out Shlomo’s command to kill Yoav, the powerful general who had fled to the Mizbeach, and explores the deeper meaning of why Yoav’s downfall was necessary for the kingdom to be stabilized. From there, Beniyahu is elevated to become the new general of the army, taking the place of Yoav as the trusted military arm of Shlomo HaMelech. The episode then turns to Shimi ben Geira, whose earlier rebellion against Dovid now reaches its conclusion when he violates Shlomo’s warning and is executed by Beniyahu. The second half of the episode shifts into one of the most mysterious and legendary parts of Shlomo HaMelech’s story: the search for the Shamir worm, the miraculous creature needed for the building of the Beis HaMikdash. This leads into the astonishing mission of Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah as he captures Ashmedai, the king of the demons for King Shlomo. 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah kills Yoav 12:00 - Beniyahu becomes General of Army 13:13 - Beniyahu kills Shimi Ben Geira 37:40 - Beniyahu and the Shamir Worm 46:38 - Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah Captures Ashmedai

In Part 2, the spotlight shifts to the dramatic succession struggle that followed the final days of Dovid Hamelech. The episode begins with Adoniyahu’s attempt to seize the throne and the efforts of Beniyahu and other loyalists who remained faithful to Dovid’s chosen successor. As the crisis unfolds, Dovid acts decisively, ordering that Shlomo be publicly anointed as king. The podcast explores this historic coronation and the final instructions Dovid delivers to his son, providing guidance on leadership, justice, and the unfinished matters that would shape the future of the kingdom.The second half follows the challenges facing the newly crowned King Shlomo. When Adoniyahu launches another bid for power, Beniyahu is entrusted with carrying out the king’s judgment, demonstrating both his loyalty and his willingness to enforce difficult decisions. The episode also examines the banishment of Evyasar HaKohen, marking the end of a priestly dynasty and the fulfillment of earlier prophecies. Finally, attention turns to Yoav, who realizes that his past actions have left him vulnerable under the new regime. Fearing retribution, he flees to the altar seeking refuge, setting the stage for one of the most consequential confrontations of Shlomo’s reign and further cementing Beniyahu’s role as both guardian of the kingdom and servant of justice.00:00 - Intro00:27 - Rebellion of Adoniyahu08:03 - Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah and the Loyalists10:08 - Dovid Hamelech has Shlomo Annointed as King18:36 - King Dovid's Final Instructions to King Shlomo21:37 - Adoniyahu Rebels Again26:07 - Adoniyahu is Punished by Beniyahu29:24 - King Shlomo Banishes Evyasar HaKohen35:02 - Yoav Fears King Shlomo and Flees to the Altar

Mar 29, 2026

In Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah (Part 1), the episode introduces one of the most fascinating and paradoxical figures in Tanach, a Kohen who rose to prominence as a fearless warrior. We begin with Beniyahu’s early life and the influence of his father. As a loyal soldier of Dovid Hamelech, Beniyahu emerges among the elite fighters, including the famous episode of the three warriors who risked their lives to draw water for the king. His rise continues as he is appointed commander of the Kreisi and Pleisi, positioning him at the heart of Dovid’s military leadership.The episode then broadens to the turbulent political and military landscape of Dovid Hamelech’s reign. During Avsholom’s rebellion, shifting loyalties lead to Achitophel's death and Yoav’s temporary demotion, opening space for other leaders like Beniyahu to rise. The chaos continues with the rebellion of Sheva ben Bichri and the controversial assassination of Ammasa. The episode concludes with a deep analysis of the verses describing Beniyahu’s legendary feats, unpacking both their literal meaning and the deeper significance behind his extraordinary acts of strength and devotion. 00:00 - Intro and Questions 01:34 - Early Life of Beniyahu and his Father 05:21 - A Loyal Soldier for Dovid Hamelech 06:57 - The Three Who Drew Water 20:05 - Commander of the Kreisi and Pleisi 22:48 - The Military Leadership of Dovid Hamelech 24:50 - Avsholom's Rebellion and Yoav's Demotion 32:26 - Rebellion of Sheva Ben Bichri and Assassination of Ammasa 37:51 - The Verses of the Mighty Feats of Beniyahu (and the meaning behind them)

Jan 15, 2026

56:09

In Rus the Moavite: Loyalty and Royalty (Part 4), Rus follows Noami’s guidance and quietly goes down to Boaz’s field at night. When Boaz awakens and discovers her presence, the tension gives way to dignity and restraint. Boaz blesses Rus for her purity of intent and loyalty, reassures her of his respect, and carefully outlines the proper path forward. Rus remains for the rest of the night without impropriety, preserving her honor and the integrity of the moment before returning to Noami with news that hope is within reach. The narrative then shifts to daylight and public justice. Boaz brings the matter before the high court and summons Tov, the closer redeemer, to resolve the legal right to the land and marriage. When Tov steps aside, Boaz lawfully acquires the fields and marries Rus. Their union soon produces a son, anchoring Noami’s restoration and completing Rus’s transformation from foreign outsider to the mother of Jewish royalty. 00:00 - Intro and Recap 01:03 - Rus Goes Down to the Boaz's Field 02:17 - Boaz Goes to Sleep and Rus Approaches 06:06 - Boaz Awakens and Discovers Rus 11:08 - Boaz Blesses Rus and Tells her his Plan 19:57 - Rus Remains for Remainder of Night 27:08 - Rus Returns to Noami 31:07 - Boaz Summons Tov to the High Court 44:54 - Boaz Acquires the Fields and Marries Rus 49:24 - Rus has a Son 52:31 - The Legacy of Rus

Shimshon. Judge and Fighter. Samson. (Part 4)

Jul 22, 2024

44:42

Rabbi Aber introduces Untold Stories of the Torah, continuing the story of Shimshon in part four. The focus is on Shimshon’s miraculous killing of a lion, and how this event, though kept secret from his parents, sets the stage for key moments in the wedding and riddle challenge. Recap of Shimshon’s Lion EncounterShimshon’s encounter with the lion and later discovery of honey in its carcass becomes a central theme. The Wedding Feast and CompanionsShimshon’s father arranges a wedding feast as was customary, and the Philistines assign Shimshon thirty companions due to his isolation. Debate Over Wedding Feast DurationThere is a debate about whether the wedding celebration lasted seven or fourteen days. Shimshon’s Riddle ChallengeShimshon challenges his thirty companions with the famous riddle: Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet. Companions Fail to Solve the RiddleFor three days, the companions are unable to solve the riddle. Desperate, they pressure Shimshon’s wife to extract the answer from him, threatening to burn her and her father’s household if she refuses. Shimshon’s Wife Betrays HimShimshon’s wife, fearing for her life, pleads with Shimshon to tell her the answer. After days of her nagging, Shimshon finally reveals the solution. She immediately betrays him by telling the companions the answer. The Companions Solve the RiddleOn the seventh day, just before sunset, the companions approach Shimshon with the solution: What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion? Realizing they cheated by coercing his wife, Shimshon angrily declares, Had you not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle. Wedding Feasts and TimelineRabbi Aber discusses the various interpretations of how the wedding celebrations unfolded. Some believe the riddle was proposed during the seven pre-wedding days, while others argue it was posed after the wedding. The Threat to Shimshon’s WifeThe class explores the deeper implications of the threat made to Shimshon’s wife by the Philistine companions, who were willing to burn her and her father’s house to the ground if she didn’t provide the answer. Shimshon’s SuspicionsShimshon’s cryptic accusation—Had you not plowed with my heifer—hints at a deeper suspicion of betrayal, possibly even that his wife was unfaithful to him. The Aftermath of the RiddleAfter the riddle is solved and Shimshon kills the thirty men to pay off his companions, he leaves in anger. His wife’s father, assuming the marriage is over, gives her to another man, one of Shimshon’s companions. Shimshon’s Revenge BeginsLearning of his wife’s remarriage, Shimshon’s anger reignites, leading him to take violent revenge on the Philistines, setting the stage for his ongoing battle against them. This is one of the most famous episodes in Shimshon’s story, where his unpredictable and extreme tactics instill fear in his enemies. Divine Providence in Shimshon’s ActionsThe timing of Shimshon’s return and his violent actions align with divine providence, amplifying the devastation he unleashes on the Philistines. This becomes a recurring theme as Shimshon continues his mission to confront the Philistines. 41:30 – Shimshon’s Legacy and Ongoing ConflictThe class concludes by examining the legacy of Shimshon’s actions, which initiated a long and bloody conflict with the Philistines. 00:00 – Introduction 00:20 – Recap of Shimshon’s Lion Encounter 01:17 – The Wedding Feast and Companions 02:50 – Debate Over Wedding Feast Duration 05:25 – Shimshon’s Riddle Challenge 06:32 – Companions Fail to Solve the Riddle 07:04 – Shimshon’s Wife Betrays Him 07:40 – The Companions Solve the Riddle 11:45 – Wedding Feasts and Timeline 20:00 – The Threat to Shimshon’s Wife 21:34 – Shimshon’s Suspicions 25:00 – The Aftermath of the Riddle 34:28 – Shimshon’s Revenge Begins 36:00 – Divine Providence in Shimshon’s Actions 41:30 – Shimshon’s Legacy and Ongoing Conflict
