The Bashan Bull King (Poetic Prose)

The Bashan
Bull King

((Poetic Prose) (with notes))



It happened right down in the Bashan Valley ((in what is now known as the Golan Heights, in Israel, once Syria) (about 1400 BC)), close in front of what is called the Wheel of the Giants, also known as, Stone Heap of the Wildcat (a kind of shrine, temple, astrological site, for the Rephaim Giant Cult of old), you could see King Og (( jababirat )(whose bed was cast in iron)), and Ohaho ((one of the two-hundred Angelic Renegades, enemies of the Most High) (who had left his first abode—before the Great Flood, to cohabitate with the loveliest of earthly women)) snarled at each other, and cursed one another like two Bashan Bulls, on the Bashan Plateau. And when Ohaho charged King Og, the Iron Giant of old, thirteen feet tall (son to Azaz’el the renegade archangel, who had hung onto Noah’s Great Ark, during those far-off trying days above those masculine waters, that obliterated mostly all that dwelled above the earth), three-forth superhuman—of immense weight (his waist four-feet wide), he swung back firmly like a wildcat when the wind hits its face, his legs held in a firm stance, apart, the heavy iron mallet in one hand, a double-edged sword in the other, both crisscrossing following his zigzagging curve in front—as he stepped forward, then he cursed Ohaho, threw the mallet at him, wounded his thigh, broke his balance, as it flopped to the ground, then King Og, swung forward from his charge his feet heavy and sturdy, the heavy sword curving in the wind, and with each swing, each forward thrust, the circling crowd of Rephaim demonic type accursed Giants, roared mercilessly as Ohaho stepped back.
When he started this devastating rush—it was all in one ongoing motion, like a bull charging, looking straight in front of Ohaho, hating with anger, and thirsty for submission. He dropped his sword, picked up his mallet and sighted with the same movement, the side of his temple, and called to the renegade, “Ohaho, Ohaho!” and Ohaho—regaining his equilibrium, charged and just for a moment they became solitary: they become one, and then it was over. King Og was still standing straight with the iron-end of the mullet firmly by his side, griped in one mighty fist, an inch away from Ohaho’s temple. King Og, his other hand raised to the crowd, he had defeated his foe for Kingship of the Rephaim Cult, in the Bashan Bull Valley Plateau, once more. The crowd roared for more blood, and then looking straight down at Ohaho, his legs going into spasms, he dragged him around by the hair—to show his conquest, then, ostracized him from the Bashan Valley— complete.

The King’s smile inflaming, and all that watched dignified and glorious in admiration, entirely filled with awe and fear, forever their pious king of the Bashan Plains (they murmured and whispered among themselves) — personified the king in mysticism. And these Rephaim Giants of old, as tall as cedars and strong as oaks (with their king seventy-generations older), souls of pleasure, they lifted him up, up onto their shoulders and they took him, and like a whirlwind, paraded him around the great stone structure, of 42,000-tons of stones—boulders as round as large oaks, they marched, around this enclosure, within its four circles, to the tumulus, the summit of the stone heap, and like light and thunder, for an ultimate end to the parade, lifted him up as if unto the heavens for the Almighty to see, as if he was the setting of the sun, the righteous one: as if he did not defile, oppress all the children of the people from the earth: where nations had once worshiped him before the great deluge; and a great darkness befell the valley just then, and out of the darkness cautiously came a storm to be—Joshua and his armies.




Note 1: in the book of Deuteronomy 3:11, we see King Og’s bed, monarch of the trans-Jordanian kingdom of Bashan, “Only Og, King of Bashan was left of the Rephaites (Rephaim Giants). His bed was made of Iron and was more than thirteen-feet long and six-feet wide” Also, ancient writings indicate there would be a great battle to come where King Sihon of Heshbon, and King Og of Bashan would war against the Israelites—King Og, would be the only survivor.

Note 2: At one time, iron was as precious as ivory is today, thus the writer of Deuteronomy, felt it necessary to make a point of this, by making a remark on the subject of King Og’s bed.

Note 3: Bashan once contained some "sixty walled cities" with great bars and gates and many un-walled towns, had capitols at Ashtaroth and Edrei in the region of Argob.

Note: The land of Bashan was famous for its prized cattle and oak groves. Lions also once roamed the area in ancient times.

"The Amorite" the giants within this area were as high as cedars and whose strength was like the oaks, dominated this area. Amos 2:9
