More highlights:
- I integrated the Carthaginian Punic culture because it's related to the Israelite Asher tribe.
- I accomplished lots of missions like the Matter of Palestine, and the Lower Egypt one where the game asked me to renovate Moses' shrine in Oros Chorib.
- My kingdom became the top ranked country for land, with 3225 territories and population of 57486.
- I conquered all of Africa and the Arabian peninsula, except for two tribal vassals in Yemen with one territory each. They were former barbarians that I let settle as vassals. I took the region of Gandhara and almost all of the Indus Valley, leaving a few river territories in the Himalayan plateu in foreign hands.
- I never crucified any POWs, executed or assassinated anyone.

More High points:

- My client states were Byzantion, Adiabene, Armenia, Aris in Persia, and the two settled tribes in Yemen. Byzantion reminded me of the Byzantine Empire, and Adiabene's historical Queen Helena converted to Judaism in the 1st century AD. I was more than halfway through the process of integrating two client states: the Persian Empire formed by the Hellenic Seleucids, Armenia, and Devaprayaga in India.
- My kingdom had 85% Judaism with the Religious Conversion Policy enacted, and 65% Hebrew culture.
- I made a shrine for David in Thekoa (in Bethlehem's real life province) and one for Solomon in Jericho (a game territory that had buildings that Solomon built in real life)
- I owned all Jewish shrines, like Moses' Oros Chorib, connected them with roads, and built a grand temple and other nice buildings in each.

- I played for hundreds of hours on Very Easy, made hundreds of savegames and reloaded many times to reverse particularly bad events, like characters killing each other.

High points:

- I played as the Zadokite dynasty from start to finish with each oldest son inheriting the throne from his father. The Zadokite priesthood was the line of priests from Zadok whom David appointed.
- I kept the theocratic monarchy government form even though I could have upgraded to the imperial form.
- I integrated the Punic culture as "citizens" and unlocked all the Levantine and North African Military Traditions, except the ones that demanded that I integrate Hellenic or Italic cultures.
