Packet K: Tossup 6

The spoils of Samaria and this city’s wealth are prophesied to be carried away before Maher-shalal-hash-baz utters “my father” or “my mother” for the first time. An oracle concerning this city’s future as a “heap of ruins” in Isaiah (-5[1])17 (-5[2])may have been fulfilled by (10[1])King Ahaz after he bribed Tiglath-Pileser (-5[1])III with silver and gold stolen from (-5[1])the Temple. (-5[2])A vision experienced by Ananias tells him to visit this city’s (-5[1])Straight Street (10[2])and lay (10[1])his hands (10[1])on a praying (10[1])man. (10[3]-5[1])A former tentmaker (10[3])escapes (10[1])this former (10[1])capital of (-5[1])Aram in a basket (10[1])that is lowered (-5[2])from a wall (-5[2])to avoid (-5[1])arrest. (-5[3])A vision asking “why do you (-5[1])persecute (10[1])me” is experienced by that man (10[2])before (-5[1])he is struck blind (10[1])and sent (10[1])to (-5[1])this (10[1])city. (-5[1])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])Saul (10[1]-5[2])became (10[1])Paul (10[1])after (10[1])he (10[1])saw (10[2])a vision (10[1])of Christ (10[1]-5[1])while on the (10[1])road (10[1])to (10[2])what (10[1])city, (10[2])the capital (10[1])of Syria?
