To Christian rulers he said that he was the spiritual return of Christ whom they were awaiting. (Alvah-i Nazilih khitab bi Muluk, pp. 8, 9, 11). He castigated the French ambassador in Istanbul for colluding with the Iranian envoy against Baha'u'llah. He condemned the Ottoman authorities for substituting their own principles for those of God, for hypocrisy, and for unjustly banishing Baha'u'llah from Baghdad and then Istanbul and Edirne (Muluk, 18-20). He denied opposing the sultan, and urged him to gather around himself upright ministers with whom he should consult. He sternly criticized the great gap between the wealthy and the poor in the empire, and more especially in Istanbul, and urged the sultan to intervene to distribute wealth more equitably (Muluk, 34, 36, 40). He reproached the Iranian ambassador, Mirza Husayn Khan, the Mushiru'd-Dawlih, for intriguing against him. He ended by addressing the Muslim clergy and philosophers of Istanbul, urging them to recognize his authority as God's spokesman and to be humble before God (Muluk, 49-51, 65-70).
so the populace who probably did nothing wrong are punished by getting killed, enslaved and raped?
and so on and on'
and his dynasty because the successors will inherit the disasters
but the king just needs to give the Assyrians tribute?
I mean... really?
Yep
Your subjects get crushed
**bruh**
They asked for it
... people who are religious created their own religions all the time.
it doesnt mean that they dont have religious feelings.
that was the deal
They get a king
And if he messes up
but it was God who put the kings into power to begin with
Well
They demanded God do it
yes and he tooketh away
he states this explicitly when he takes the throne from Solomon's sons
what he gave
the jews yes
so God himself gave the throne to a shitty king
And he didnt want to
first king was lame ass
forget his name
Mayve
but the second was david
God didnt want to give them kings
Saul was fairly capable imo
saul
the endless rape feast and slavery of Muslim countries is just...blah
yes
So maybe by giving them shit it might convince the jews to turn back
He was capable
the only reason they shit on Saul and suck off David is cause the text was written as David propaganda
...biologically... most muslism are JEWS
But disobeying has its consequences
well he wasn't as loved of affective as david
David took over
like I said the Book of Kings and the Book of Chronicles isn't really a holy text
