The Habbanis: “the Habbanis proudly wore full turbans, rode on horseback as expert horsemen, and wore their weapons openly. The Arabs feared them. The freedom of the Habbanim, was maintained by a legacy of unmatched warriorship. It was a tradition preserved from time immemorial which their freedom and very survival depended upon. It was this mightiest of Abir warrior chiefs who caused the Al Wahidi and Aleewa sheikhdoms, the two largest warring tribes of Southern Arabia, to put down their weapons against one another, coming under his authority as their protector and advisor. This thwarted a plan to massacre all the Jews of Habban and greater Yemen.”
“Genesis 12:3 ” I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel; and through Israel will be blessed all the families (nations) of the earth.
The Israelite Tribal Warriors of G-d: With no denial of G-d given ruah ha-kodesh–the Shechina granted to special Jewish men of valor-there is an actual warrior art that lies behind the story of two teenagers, the sons of Jacob, who single-handed waged war against an entire Canaanite city, slaying all their men. At the end of their sojourn in Egypt, their descendants, the Israelites emerge from the darkest, most difficult hour of their slavery as an armed force of 600,000 foot soldier’s; men, women and children were given ruaH ha-kodesh – the Shechina. Divinely inspired martial arts were something the Israelites had maintained in Egypt and throughout the ancient times of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Israelite shepherd’s staff is in deed known as a most lethal weapon charged with Ani Ma’amin.”
“Historical accounts abound with Joshua and the Israelites entering the Promised Land. In addition the accounts of Shamgar ben `Anath, with nothing but a simple cattle goad, would slay 600 enemies. Samson, with only the jaw-bone of a donkey in hand, slew 1000 Philistine men. And the young teenage David, the shepherd son in his family, would slay 200 Philistines for the hand of King Saul’s daughter.
References to the incredible bravery and military prowess of Jewish war heroes do not end with these biblical accounts. From the Maccabees, they continue down to the Roman era in the Jerusalem Talmud recalling the feats of the men chosen for Bar Kokhba’s army, and the account by Josephus of Jews fending off the Romans with their bare hands.”
Where are these warriors today to wipe out Amalek?
