For example, if disposable income is $217.50 ($7.25 Ã 30) or less, there is no garnishment. If disposable income is more than $217.50 but less than $290 ($7.25 Ã 40), the amount above $217.50 can be withheld. If disposable income is $290 or more, a maximum of 25 percent can be garnished.
Form of Government. Kingship appears to have been the oldest form of Phoenician government. The royal houses claimed divine descent, and the king could not be chosen outside their members.His power, however, was limited by the powerful merchant families, who wielded great influence in public affairs.he Israelite king Omri had allied himself with the Phoenician cities of the coast, and his son Ahab was married to Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre and Sidon.
The Phoenicians were active merchants who traded throughout the Mediterranean and established colonies as far away as Spain. The best known of these Phoenician colonies was Carthage, one of the most famous cities of antiquity. It was founded on the north coast of Africa by the Phoenicians of Tyre, in 814 B.C.
