The concept of treaties is prevalent throughout the Bible, reflecting the political and social dynamics of the ancient Near East. These agreements were often sealed with oaths, sacrifices, or symbolic acts to underscore their binding nature. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, treaties were common among the nations surrounding Israel. The Hebrew word often associated with treaties is "berith," which is also translated as "covenant." One of the earliest examples of a treaty is found in <a href="/genesis/21-27.htm">Genesis 21:27</a>, where Abraham and Abimelech, the king of Gerar, make a covenant to settle a dispute over a well: "So Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant." Another significant treaty is the one between the Israelites and the Gibeonites in <a href="/bsb/joshua/9.htm">Joshua 9</a>. The Gibeonites, fearing the advancing Israelites, resorted to deception to secure a treaty of peace. Despite the deceit, the Israelites honored the treaty due to the oath they had sworn before the LORD, illustrating the sacredness and binding nature of such agreements. The treaty between Solomon and Hiram, king of Tyre, is another notable example. In <a href="/1_kings/5-12.htm">1 Kings 5:12</a>, it is recorded: "So the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty." This treaty facilitated the construction of the Temple, showcasing how treaties could lead to significant collaborative projects. New Testament Context While the New Testament does not focus extensively on political treaties, the concept of covenant remains central, particularly in the context of God's relationship with humanity. The New Covenant, established through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is seen as a divine treaty offering salvation and eternal life to all who believe. <a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a> states, "Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant." Theological Implications From a theological perspective, treaties in the Bible often reflect the broader theme of covenant, which is foundational to understanding God's interactions with humanity. The divine covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, and ultimately the New Covenant through Christ, underscore God's commitment to His people and His faithfulness to His promises. Moral and Ethical Considerations The Bible presents treaties as solemn commitments that should be honored, even when made under less-than-ideal circumstances. The account of the Gibeonites serves as a moral lesson on the importance of keeping one's word, as the Israelites upheld their treaty despite the Gibeonites' deception. This reflects the biblical principle that oaths and promises, especially those made before God, carry significant weight and should not be taken lightly. Historical and Cultural Context In the ancient Near East, treaties were often accompanied by rituals and ceremonies, including sacrifices and the exchange of gifts, to formalize the agreement. These practices underscored the seriousness of the commitment and the expectation of divine witness and enforcement. The biblical narrative reflects these cultural norms, providing insight into the historical context of the biblical world. In summary, treaties in the Bible are multifaceted, serving as instruments of peace, cooperation, and divine covenant. They highlight the importance of faithfulness, integrity, and the sacred nature of promises made before God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

After the rise of the monarchy, treaties were common. David and Solomon had friendly relations with Hiram, king of Tyre (<a href="/1_kings/5-15.htm">1 Kings 5:15</a>); Asa, to rid himself of the hostile approaches of Baasha, king of Israel, entered into a league with Ben-hadad of Syria, which the prophet Hanani denounced (<a href="/2_chronicles/16-1.htm">2 Chronicles 16:1</a>); Ahab entered into a similar compact with Ben-hadad's son and successor, and set him at liberty when he was his prisoner of war (<a href="/1_kings/20-34.htm">1 Kings 20:34</a>); and at a later time Jehoshaphat joined Ahab in an expedition against Ben-hadad II to Ramoth-gilead in which Ahab lost his life (<a href="/nasb/1_kings/22.htm">1 Kings 22</a>). Sometimes with Syria and neighboring states against the terrible Assyrian power, and sometimes with Egypt against Assyria or Babylon, the kings of Israel and Judah entered into treaty to resist their advances and to preserve their own independence (<a href="/2_kings/17-4.htm">2 Kings 17:4</a> <a href="/hosea/7-11.htm">Hosea 7:11</a> <a href="/isaiah/30-1.htm">Isaiah 30:1</a>).
