An element in the names of King David’s sons Solomon and Absalom. Original guardian, patron and protective deity of Jerusalem. “Before the fifteenth of July all Syria had sworn the same allegiance. Vespasian’s cause was now joined also by Sohaemus with his entire kingdom, whose strength was not to be despised, and by Antiochus who had enormous ancestral wealth, and was in fact the richest of the subject princes. Presently Agrippa, summoned from Rome by private messages from his friends, while Vitellius was still unaware of his action, quickly crossed the sea and joined the cause.” – Tacitus, The Histories, Book II http://s407341505.onlinehome.us/Episode_B20_The_God_of_Dusk.mp3
