The lyrics encourage the actions of Deborah and Barak, saying, “Wake up, wake up, Deborah! / Wake up, wake up, break out in song! / Arise, Barak! / Take captive your captives, son of Abinoam” (Judges 5:12). Jael’s role is also heralded: “Most blessed of women be Jael, / the wife of Heber the Kenite, / most blessed of tent-dwelling women” (verse 24).

ellauri156.html on line 396: (1) It seems likely that David and Uriah are hardly strangers, but that they know each other, to some degree at least. Uriah is listed among the mighty warriors of David (2 Samuel 23:39; 1 Chronicles 11:41). Some of the “mighty men” came to David early, while he was in the cave of Adullam (1 Samuel 22:1-2), and we suspect that among them were Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, the three brothers who were mighty men (see 2 Samuel 23:18, 24; 1 Chronicles 11:26).39 Others joined David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:1ff.), and still other great warriors joined with David at Hebron (1 Chronicles 12:38-40).40 We do not know when and where Uriah joined with David, but since his military career ends in 2 Samuel 12, his military feats must have been done earlier. It seems very unlikely that David and Uriah are strangers; rather, it would seem these two men know each other from fighting together, and perhaps even from fleecing Saul together, or maybe Uriah had been a dear brother to David like his old Jonathan.
ellauri156.html on line 493: You may remember that when David first fled from Saul he went to Ahimelech the priest and asked for some provisions and a sword. The priest had nothing but the sacred bread, which he would allow David and his men to eat, if they had only “kept themselves from women” (verse 4). The priest assumes they may have conducted themselves otherwise. David's answer, and especially the tone of it, is very pertinent to our text. He confidently assured the priest that he and his men had kept themselves from women, almost incensed that the priest would think otherwise. And the reason David gives is that he and his men are on a mission for the king. The inference is that this is a military (or at least official) mission.
ellauri197.html on line 176: Clifton's three books of poetry were published by Duckworth. The first was Dielma and Other Poems in 1932 and then followed Flight in 1934. One commentator has said that “Clifton was particularly adroit at poems honouring – and marvelling at – women” and the Times Literary Supplement stated that “His lyrics are a gracious tribute to the beauty of women”. These were fairly conventional poems unlike his final work Gleams Britain's Day published in 1942. The Spectator described it as “expressing in a sort of prophetic certitude opinions upon religion, patriotism, love, art, war and peace, which he puts in unconventional verse”. The reviewer stated that the book was “the product of a curious, whimsical mind, full of energy, squandering it on half-digested ideas”. W B Yates dedicated his poem, Lapis Lazuli, to Clifton who had given him a valuable Chinese lapis lazuli carving.

Han talar om den italienska ”normalfascismen”, den tyska ”radikalfascismen” och slutligen den östeuropeiska fascismen. En sådan realtypisk tredelning av fascismbegreppet har en empirisk konkretion och ger en bättre utgångspunkt för forskningen än Griffins tandlösa definition.

xxx/ellauri385.html on line 66: Mötley Crüe on vuonna 1981 Los Angelesissa perustettu yhdysvaltalainen keinumusiikkiyhtye. Sen nykyisen kokoonpanon muodostavat laulaja vince Neil, basisti ja perustajajäsen nikki Sixx, kitaristi John 5 sekä rumpali ja perustajajäsen tommy Lee. Yhtye on myynyt yli sata miljoonaa levyä maailmanlaajuisesti. Sen tunnetuimpia kappaleita ovat ”Sähköpaimen”, ”Huuto pirulle”, ”Oma koti kullan kallis”, ”Typyjä, typyjä, typyjä”, ”Tri Kutaa” ja ”Polkukäynnistä pumppuni”. Kovaa keinua ja painavaa metallia yhdistelevän musiikkinsa lisäksi yhtye tuli 1980-luvulla tunnetuksi hedonistisesta ja pahennustakin herättäneestä keinu ja kieri -elämäntyylistään. Girls Girls Girls on esiintynyt albumissa Typyjä. Ikävystyttävää mopoilua ja taukojumppaa kärisevien tenorien säestyxellä. Tälläisestä voi pitää vain punkkitohtori.
