The religio-political & racial line of separation dividing Israel & Judah was originally the southern boundary of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin.  There was a Deep Hatred—an Enmity—about to surge over that border.

It is often difficult (for faithful & skeptical readers alike) to navigate the anciently revised layers of what was allegorically ambiguous to begin with; nevertheless, in these pre-histories the latter-histories and future aspirations of a murderous Yahwistic Cainite sub-ethnic group were codified in story-form by its composer – a Cainite scribe of the Davidic administration in Judah.

The word Nephilim means “Fallen Ones,” and this is how the Yahwistic Cainite refers to the non-Cainite Races, relating them with Elohim.

Hence, all Cainites traditionally traced their ancestry MATRIARCHALLY—or, to use their verbiage, through the “Seed of the Woman”—from primordial Mother Eve (the “Hivites”), to Naamah (the Hamathite-Canaanites), to Judith (the Judeo-Edomites), to Bathshua, Tamar and Rahab (the Judahites), to the Gibeonite-Rechabite Scribes, etc…

In the absence of the Kingdom of Israel, with its People without voice or power, the Prophets & Scribes of Judah continued to rewrite Israelite history, declaring Israel’s fall the righteous judgment of Yahweh against a sinful nation who would not accept Yahweh as God, nor David as King.
