You'll have to first explain which 5:24? Ezekiel chap 5 only goes to v.17. (That was the last book being referenced.)

Ezek 5:17 [HCSB]
I will send famine and dangerous animals against you. They will leave you childless, Jerusalem. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, Yahweh, have spoken.”

Are you sure you have the Correct verse. This is a verse spoken to Israel the majority, NOT THE FEW WHO HAD IT RIGHT.

OUCH

Joshua 5:2-6,8 NET
At that time the LORD told Joshua, "Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites once again." [3] So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at the Hill of the Foreskins. [4] This is why Joshua had to circumcise them: All the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt died on the journey through the wilderness after they left Egypt. [5] Now all the men who left were circumcised, but all the sons born on the journey through the wilderness after they left Egypt were uncircumcised. [6] Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the wilderness until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the LORD, died off. For the LORD had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn by oath to their ancestors to give them, a land rich in milk and honey. [8] When all the men had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they had healed.

1 Samuel 18:27
David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought
back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might
become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

I figured if you were going to have to jump through hoops anyways, you should do it in style. I was thinking more of David collecting Philistine foreskins, but I should have been more specific.

My requests always engender grace. I'll have to check but I thought the original request by Saul was only 100, but I could be wrong.

Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a
hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Ah! You are correct .:D

This seal belonged to Nathan-Melech, who was:

Quote:
What is most likely to capture popular interest is the burnt clay seal impression, which features the words: “(belonging) to Nathan-Melech, Servant of the King” 2600 Years Old, "(LeNathan-Melech Eved HaMelech).” The fact that it was written without a surname indicates his fame is on par with celebs of today, such as singers Madonna or Adele. :End Quote.

It was found in western Givati Parking Lot Dig, and is further evidence of Temple being in the OPHEL. Nathan's Office was West of the Temple.



2 Kings 23:11 (YLT)
11 And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that is in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.
