You will be in charge of a team of prophets trying to remove evil from Israel, while building the altars needed to win the game.##This tutorial will help you learn the basics of Kings of Israel such as the various rounds to the game, events that your team may face, and the actions available to everyone on your team."

"tut_14","During the Sin Increases phase, several locations are drawn from the Location deck and each one will receive a Sin Cloud."
"tut_15","When a Nation is drawn from the Location deck, Sin Clouds will spread from that Nation to each neighbouring location"
"tut_16","Idols are created in places where the most evil is occurring. If three or more Sin Clouds would be placed in a location that does not have an Idol, an idol is also placed at that location."
"tut_17","If a Sin Cloud is added to a location that already has an Idol, evil will spread and each adjacent location will also receive a Sin Cloud!##A location can never receive more than one Sin Cloud per card drawn."

"tut_19","On each prophet's turn, that prophet receives four action points that he can use to do good things in Israel. The active prophet is always shown a little bigger than the other prophet's."
"tut_20","For his first action, let's move the Sailor from his location in Acco down the road to Mount Carmel."
"tut_21","For his second action, let's remove one of the Sin Clouds in Mount Carmel by preaching to the Israelites."
"tut_22","For his third action, let's remove the Idol in Mount Carmel. Destroying Idols takes two action points, so this will be the Sailor's last action."
"tut_23","Finally, on the bottom right you will see an image for the one Blessing card available to your team. Any prophet can play Blessing cards on their turn and they do not cost an action. Let's have the Sailor play the 'Ammonites Driven Out' card now."
"tut_24","Acquiring resources is very important, since resources are needed to build altars, make sacrifices, and move quickly across Israel. Let's have the next prophet draw a card from the Resource deck as his first action."
"tut_25","The Travel action allows a prophet to move up to three times on the road if that prophet discards a Grain or Cattle resource. Let's move to Chinnereth quickly using the Travel action."
"tut_26","Teamwork is very important in Kings of Israel. One of the best ways to use teamwork is by giving resources from one prophet to another prophet if they are at the same location. Let's have the active prophet give his two resources to the other prophet at his location. This will allow the next prophet to build an altar on his turn."
"tut_27","The Rest button ends the current prophet's turn and moves onto the next prophet's turn. Let's do that now."
"tut_28","The active prophet has enough resources to build an altar! Use the Build an Altar action to discard his Gold, Stone, and Wood resources to build an altar at his location. Your team is now one step closer to winning!"
"tut_29","You might have noticed this bar next to the active prophet. This is the Prophet Action Bar and it decreases whenever an action is performed. The amount the bar goes down when performing an action is displayed below each action button. Let's Acquire a Resource and watch it go down one unit."
"tut_30","The active prophet now has enough resources to perform the Make a Sacrifice action. To make a sacrifice, that prophet needs to be at an altar's location and then discard a Cattle and Grain card.  Once a sacrifice is performed it removes all Sin Clouds in that player's location along with one Sin Cloud from each adjacent location. Let's now make a sacrifice!"
"tut_31","After all of the prophets have completed their turns, the End of Round phase begins. In the easiest of game modes, Blessing Cards are drawn for sacrifices made that round.  On the other hand, in the hardest modes the False Prophet will take his turn causing bad things to happen. Finally, the starting player for the next round changes and a new round begins!##Those are the basics of Kings of Israel! You may now begin your campaign of removing evil and building altars in Israel!##And if after playing you still need help, try going through the Tutorial again. It is found under Settings in the Main Menu."

King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler. he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold. There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests. Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom. All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon. For the king had a fleet of Tarshish at sea with Hiram's fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules. Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he kept in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland. The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. A chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites, and to the kings of Syria.%Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites; of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, @You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.@ Solomon joined to these in love. He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father was. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh's sight, and didn't go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods. Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn't keep that which Yahweh commanded. Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, @Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father's sake; but I will tear it out of your son's hand.

King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler. he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold. There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests. Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom. All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon. For the king had a fleet of Tarshish at sea with Hiram's fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules. Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he kept in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland. The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. A chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites, and to the kings of Syria.%Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites; of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, @You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.@ Solomon joined to these in love. He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father was. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh's sight, and didn't go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods. Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn't keep that which Yahweh commanded. Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, @Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father's sake; but I will tear it out of your son's hand.

At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and they were allies of Abram. When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan. He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.%The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High. He blessed him, and said, @Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth: and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.@%Abram gave him a tenth of all.%The king of Sodom said to Abram, @Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.@%Abram said to the king of Sodom, @I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.'

"bible_location_68_2","When Solomon had finished the building of Yahweh's house, the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do, Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. Yahweh said to him, @I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances; then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.' But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them; then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. Though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss; and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land, and to this house?' and they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.'@%At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, Yahweh's house and the king's house (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn't please him. He said, @What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?@ He called them the land of Cabul to this day. Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.%This is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build Yahweh's house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem's wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burnt it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon's wife. Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower, Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness, all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel; their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day. But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. These were the five hundred fifty chief officers who were over Solomon's work, who ruled over the people who labored in the work. But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of David's city to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built Millo. Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh three times a year, burning incense with them, on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house. King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon."
