JAREB

(Heb. yārēḇ)

King of Assyria to whom Israel (Ephraim) sent tribute at various times during Hosea’s prophetic career (Hos. 5:13; 10:6), ca. 750-722 b.c. Because no other evidence supports the existence of a King Jareb, some interpreters read “a king who will contend,” a possible Hebrew epithet for Tiglath-pileser III. The NRSV represents another common alternative, emending the Hebrew text on the basis of the Assyrian honorific title malku rabu, “the great king.”

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
