The Lion of Judah is the symbol of the Hebrew tribe of Judah (the Jewish tribe).

The Battle of Zephath, according to the Bible, occurred during the dates of 911-870 BCE, in the reign of King Asa of Judah.
 It was fought at the Valley of Zephath near Maresha in what is now Israel, between the armies of the Kingdom of Judah under the command of King Asa and that of the Kushites and ancient Egyptians under the command of Zerah the Ethiopian who, given the time frame with Asa's reign, may either be Pharaoh Osorkon II or Osorkon I.
 The warriors of Judah were victorious in the battle after utterly defeating the Egyptians and Kushites, by divine intervention as written in the Bible and Asa's forces collected a large volume of war spoils.
 Asa's forces pursued the enemy stragglers as far as the coastal city of Gerar, where they halted due to exhaustion.
 The result of the battle created peace between Judah and Egypt until the time of Josiah some centuries later, when the latter would again make encroachments in the region.

 Since he feared he might violate the law of ""At his day thou shalt give him his hire"", it was a way for him not to hire the laborer, so he would not be bound to this commandment.
