Podcasts about gibeonites

In this Bible Story, we witness the continued bravery of David even into old age. He continues to wage war against all who would threaten the followers of God. As a result, David becomes weary, but doesn't lose hope in the Lord. This story is inspired by 2 Samuel 21. Go to https://www.BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Samuel 21:3 from the King James Version.Episode 110: Famine was in the land of Israel, and this led to hard times for the people. So David sought the Lord and asked what he should do. God showed him the reason for the famine and commanded him to make peace with the Gibeonites for the sins that Saul had committed against them. David called the Gibeonites to him and gave them their request, the life of Saul's sons. After this, the famine eased and Israel once again flourished. However, this flourishing would draw out more enemies of Israel and more battles, battles that David was too old to fight in.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Moses could get Israel to the Promised Land, but he couldn't get them in. To cross the Jordan, Israel needed a new leader with a familiar name: Joshua. Discover why the transition from the Law to Grace is the only way to claim your divine inheritance. Summary: In this episode, we study the Book of Joshua. We move beyond the battles and the trumpets to find the deep spiritual transformation required to stop wandering and start inheriting. Filling the Shoes of a Giant: We analyze the transition from Moses to Joshua—and from Peter to Jesus—exploring how God stays with the successor just as He was with the predecessor. Crossing the Jordan: We look at the "dry ground" miracle at the Jordan River and how the priests had to step into the water before it parted. Strange Strategies: We discuss the "foolish" tactics used at Jericho. Why does God ask us to do small and simple things—like family prayer or scripture study—that seem unrelated to the "walls" we are trying to bring down? The Valley of Achor: We look at the cautionary tale of Achan and how "one man's sin" can affect an entire community, and how God turns our "valleys of trouble" into "doors of hope." Choose You This Day: We conclude with Joshua's final plea at Shechem. We learn that our obedience lasts only as long as our memory, and why we must choose—every single day—whom we will serve. Call-to-Action: Joshua told the people that the stones of the altar had "heard" their promises. What "witnesses" have you set up in your life to remind you of your covenants?

The weekly Sunday morning sermon delivered by Rev. James Wiles2 Samuel 21:5-14“They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and planned to destroy us, so that we should have no place in all the territory of Israel, let seven of his sons be given to us, so that we may hang them before the Lord at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.” But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. The king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite; and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the Lord, and the seven of them perished together. They were put to death in the first days of harvest, at the beginning of barley harvest. Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until rain fell upon them from the heavens. And she did not allow the birds of the air to come upon them by day, or the beasts of the field by night. When David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done, David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa. And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan; and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged. And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they did all that the king commanded. And after that God responded to the plea for the land.”1. Rizpah was a mother of example in her devotion.2. Rizpah was a mother of example in her demonstration.3.

Our study in Joshua brings us to the Gibeonites who deceived the Israelis into making a treaty with them. This makes us think about whether we take God's will into account.

Pastor Alexander shares a Mother’s Day message about an obscure mother named Rizpah. Because King Saul had broken Israels covenant in slaying the Gibeonites, God brought a famine to the land. To break the famine the Gibeonites requested the sons of Saul be hung. When her two sons were slain, Rizpah stood her ground, staying with the bodies of her two sons, keeping the birds and beasts away from devouring their bodies. As a result of her devotion and determination, her sons ultimately received a royal burial and her story is recorded in Scripture as an example of the depth of a mother’s love.

Live by faith and not by sight

Pastor Shane Kohout preaches Joshua 9 and shows how the story of the Gibeonites exposes the danger of living by sight instead of by faith. This sermon calls us to repentance, deeper trust in God, and confidence in His mercy.

In this raw, unscripted episode, Norense unpacks what overwhelm is really trying to do to you — and why the small moments of frustration, the micro-triggers, the "what's the point" feelings are not random. They are targeted. The enemy knows that if he can render you emotionally powerless, your gift never reaches the marketplace.Using the story of Joshua possessing the Promised Land, Norense breaks down the spiritual and practical framework for pushing through — even when you don't feel ready, even when the plan falls apart, and even when the shame of your past is still buried in the ground.In this episode:Why overwhelm is a spiritual strategy against your gift — not just a bad dayThe difference between emotions, feelings, and moods — and how to stop letting external triggers write your storyWhat it means to "possess the land" and why God can promise it but you still have to take itThe Joshua and Gibeonite story — and what happens when you make major decisions without consulting God firstWhy secret sin keeps you from stepping into your authority — and how to come cleanThe danger of living in a Christian bubble instead of being the light you were called to beHow to drop the seed in every marketplace — even when you don't control the soilKey Truth: Before the foundation of the world, the lamb was slain.

JOSHUA 9

Fr. Mike expands on the significance of establishing a covenant relationship, and how the trickery of the Gibeonites can represent the desire to enter into a relationship with God out of fear rather than out of love. Today's readings are Joshua 8-9, and Psalm 126. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Bro. James Jones - A sermon preached Sunday Evening during our Spring Jubilee, on March 22, 2026.

In Joshua 6–9, God gives Israel victory at Jericho, but Achan's disobedience brings trouble until the sin is dealt with. Israel then defeats Ai, renews their covenant with God, and later makes a treaty with the Gibeonites after being deceived.Read the WHOLE Bible with me! Subscribe so you don't miss an episode.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the March 21st, 2026 episode of Daily Radio Bible. In today's journey, Hunter invites us into an honest and transformative exploration of Joshua chapters 9 to 11 and 1 Corinthians 6. Together, we witness the shrewd faith of the Gibeonites, who, like Rahab, chose the path of wisdom rooted in faith rather than power—a theme that resonates with the everyday choices we face in our walk with God. Hunter draws connections between ancient battles and modern spiritual struggles, encouraging us to embrace a "shrewd faith" that relinquishes our insistence on having our own way for the sake of peace and deeper relationships. As always, the episode wraps with meaningful prayers, reflections, and a reminder of God's abiding love. Tune in for spiritual guidance, encouragement, and practical wisdom as you continue your daily walk through scripture. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Shrewd faith that seeks deliverance. The story of the Gibeonites reminds us that sometimes faith can look a whole lot like shrewdness. Much like Rahab, the Gibeonites saw what God was doing among his people. They recognized that the Lord, the God of Israel, was the God of deliverance. They didn't trust in their own power, alliances, or might. Instead, they sought to make peace with God—even using cunning and deception—because they feared him and believed his promises. Their shrewdness, though rooted in deceit, was ultimately an act of faith. It was their confidence in God's purposes that moved them to take action. The Gibeonites understood that deliverance did not come from holding tightly to their own ways or insisting on their own terms, but rather by aligning themselves with what God was doing. Even when their wisdom didn't look entirely "respectable," it led to their rescue and inclusion in the story of God's people. Jesus himself spoke of the value of shrewdness in the parable of the shrewd manager—commending the ability to let go, to give away, to not hold onto our own rights but instead to seek life and deliverance, even in unexpected ways. True faith often requires a willingness to let go and give up what we might otherwise cling to. Paul carries this same theme into his words for the Corinthians: Why not just accept the injustice and let yourself be cheated, rather than insist on your own way? Sometimes, faith means releasing our grip, letting go of our insistence, and making peace—in our relationships with God and with others. This is the way of faith—a faith that is wise, cunning, and obedient. It is a faith that doesn't always fit our expectations, but it always invests itself in relationship—relationship with God, with his people, and with the world. May we learn from the Gibeonites and from the words of Paul a shrewdness that leads us not to destruction, but to grace, deliverance, and life. That is the prayer I have for my own soul. That is the prayer I have for my family—for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that is the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

After the victories over Jericho and Ai and the reading of the law, Israel is ready to start the next phase of the campaign. However, it starts with a bit of controversy including a covenant that eventually needs to be fulfilled. Fulfilling that covenant is what leads to one of the greatest victories so far in taking the Promised Land.If you are enjoying Bible Backdrop, please leave a 5 star rating and review.

In this Bible Story, Israel battles against five allied armies. God sends hail from the sky and causes the sun to stand still until Israel prevails over their foe. This story is inspired by Joshua 9-10. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Joshua 9:15 from the King James Version.Episode 55: The Gibeonites, a people of the land of Canaan, hear about what God is doing for the people of Israel and fear for their lives. In this fear, they devise a plan to deceive Israel into thinking that they are weary travelers coming from afar, in hopes that Israel might make a treaty with them. This caused five of the tribes in Canaan to gather together as one in an attempt to make war against Israel. But even though their numbers were large, they were no match for the God of Israel. He caused hail to go before them and even allowed the sun to stand still until the armies of the Canaanite kings were thoroughly defeated.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

In this verse-by-verse Bible teaching from 2 Samuel 21, Sam Vargas looks at a difficult passage during the reign of King David, where a three-year famine leads David to seek the Lord and learn that it is connected to Saul's actions against the Gibeonites. The teaching explores God's faithfulness to His promises, the seriousness of sin and its effects on others, and the importance of humility and dependence on God in prayer. Sam also reflects on passages such as James 1 and Psalm 46, highlighting how God works through trials to grow His people and how He remains a present help in times of trouble.

What can a group of ancient deceivers teach us about salvation? In The Gospel According to the Gibeonites (Joshua 9:22–27), we see a powerful foreshadowing of the gospel: hearing God's warning, fearing judgment, making peace before it's too late, and becoming servants of the King. This message calls us to face the reality of judgment—and rejoice in the greater reality of a Savior who seeks and saves the lost.

After a mountaintop moment of worship and victory, Israel walks straight into deception. In Joshua 9, the Gibeonites trick God's people into making a binding oath—because Israel failed to seek the Lord's direction. The result? A costly reminder that our words matter. This message explores the danger of relying on our own understanding, the seriousness of truth and integrity before God, and why keeping your word reflects the character of the God of truth. From Joshua's mistake to the greater faithfulness of King Jesus, we're reminded: don't speak lightly—do what you say.

Joab kills David's new general Amasa but does get the rebel, Sheba. David has to appease the Gibeonites for Saul's breaking of their covenant. David is tempted into taking a census which draws God's judgment. 2 Samuel 20:1-26; 2 Sam 21:1-14; 2 Sam 24:1-14; I Chronicles 21:1-12, Matthew 27:50-54 #everydaychristians

Send a textThis week we discuss how Joshua's lack of inquiring of the Lord led Israel into a bad treaty. 

Send a textJoshua 10 reminds us that obedience doesn't end when the agreement is made—it's proven when pressure comes. After Israel's covenant with the Gibeonites in Joshua 9, Joshua is immediately pulled into a fight he didn't initiate but is still responsible to finish.In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we look at what it means for men to follow through when commitment becomes costly. Joshua doesn't hesitate, delay, or look for a way out. He shows up, fights hard, and trusts the Lord to do what only God can do—even to the point of the sun standing still.This chapter challenges us to consider how our present faithfulness prepares us for future battles. Half-hearted obedience, delayed action, or unfinished work doesn't just affect today—it weakens us for what's coming next. God honors men who keep their word, stand firm under pressure, and move forward in confidence that the battle ultimately belongs to Him.Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Subscribe to Recalibrate, the daily podcast from The Pursuit of Manliness: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recalibrate/id1797551549Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Send a textIn Joshua 9, Israel wins battles on the battlefield but stumbles in the conference room. The Gibeonites don't defeat Israel with swords or strength, but with worn clothes, stale bread, and a convincing story. And the most dangerous line in the chapter may be this: “They did not ask counsel from the Lord.”In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we wrestle with why deception so often works on us as men. Why do we trust appearances, rush decisions, and rely on our own judgment—especially after seasons of victory? Joshua 9 exposes how spiritual confidence can quietly turn into self-reliance, and how failing to slow down and seek the Lord can lead to long-term consequences.This episode challenges men to examine where they may be operating on assumption instead of prayer, instinct instead of obedience, and confidence instead of humility. True strength isn't found in quick decisions—it's found in dependence on the Lord who sees what we cannot.Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Subscribe to Recalibrate, the daily podcast from The Pursuit of Manliness: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recalibrate/id1797551549Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore ancient covenant ceremonies and what covenants truly meant in biblical and Israelite culture — far beyond the modern idea of a simple two-way promise.Using the story of David and Jonathan as a primary archetype, this lesson reveals how ancient covenants involved the merging of identity, shared inheritance, protection, loyalty, sacrifice, and sacred relationship. These covenant patterns illuminate how God relates to humanity and what it means to enter a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ.You'll learn:✨ Why ancient covenants were relational, not contractual ✨ How covenant ceremonies symbolized shared identity, strength, and inheritance ✨ The spiritual meaning of robes, weapons, and sacred exchanges ✨ How covenant blood symbolism points to Christ's atonement ✨ Why God identifies Himself as One who keeps covenant and shows mercy ✨ How covenant blessings extend across generations ✨ What covenant faithfulness, justice, and mercy look like in real lifeThis episode also explores the story of the Gibeonites, the seriousness of covenant obligations, and how God honors covenant relationships even across centuries. Viewers are invited to reconsider temple covenants as sacred relationships of transformation rather than mere ritual compliance. If you've ever wondered what temple covenants truly mean, how God relates to covenant partners, or how ancient practices illuminate modern worship, this lesson provides essential spiritual foundations.

Episode 2.79In this episode, Michael and Zach walk through Joshua 9–12, a pivotal section of the book that contrasts Israel acting without Yahweh with Yahweh fighting for Israel.We examine Israel's deception by the Gibeonites in Joshua 9, where careful reasoning replaces prayer—and obedience becomes costly but necessary. From there, the narrative turns to the southern and northern campaigns (Joshua 10–11), highlighting Yahweh as the true warrior who grants victory, commands obedience, and fulfills His promises over time rather than through a quick conquest.Along the way, we address key theological and historical questions:• Why Israel honored a deceptive oath• The meaning of Joshua's long-day prayer• Divine sovereignty and human obedience in battle• Why “taking the land” differs from fully “possessing” it• How Joshua's obedience models covenant faithfulnessThe episode concludes with Joshua 12's king list, showing the scope of Yahweh's victory and the unity of God's people—east and west of the Jordan. The takeaway is clear: victory comes not from strategy or strength, but from dependence on the Lord who fights for His people.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/pxIEkAN7v00Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

I had so much fun recording this episode! It's a new story for me which is always enjoyable. The story takes place right after the fall of Jericho (the episode titled "Rahab and the Scarlet Rope"). Joshua and the Israelites are up against Ai. (If I'm pronouncing Ai wrong, I sincerely apologize! It was the one I found when I searched that seemed the most accurate.) Someone is disobedient. And the Gibeonites are scared to death of the Israelites so they take drastic measures.We are reading Joshua 7 through 9 (NIV).If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like toshow your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.

Overcoming condemnation- Although it was a mistake, Joshua honored the covenant Israel made with the Gibeonites and gave them a place to serve. Has your sin left a cloud of condemnation hanging over you? Let God use your failure and turn it into a servant for His purposes.

Theme: Covenant Renewal and the Danger of Compromise Pastor Matthew continued the Joshua series, focusing on Joshua chapters 9 and 10—the story of the Gibeonite deception and Israel's response. The message explored how deception, presumption, and failure to seek God's direction lead to spiritual compromise, but also how God's mercy and power still prevail through covenant faithfulness. The Gibeonite Deception (Joshua 9) After the miraculous victories at Jericho and Ai, news spread throughout Canaan about Israel's power under God's command. While other kings prepared for war, the Gibeonites chose deception: they disguised themselves as distant travelers, wearing old clothes and carrying moldy bread to make Israel believe they came from far away. “The devil doesn't always come at you head-on. Sometimes he comes dressed as something harmless, familiar, or even friendly.” Israel's leaders failed to consult the Lord before making a covenant with them. “They examined the evidence but didn't pray. That's where the failure happened.” Lesson: “Not everything that looks right is right. When you stop seeking God's counsel, you open yourself up to deception.” The Power and Permanence of Covenant Once the truth was revealed—that the Gibeonites were local inhabitants—Israel wanted to destroy them, but Joshua refused, because they had sworn an oath before the Lord. “You don't break covenant just because it's inconvenient. When you give your word before God, He expects you to honor it.” Joshua made the Gibeonites servants in the house of God, cutting wood and drawing water for the altar. “Even in discipline, God gives a place of grace. The Gibeonites ended up serving in the temple—better to be a servant in God's house than a warrior outside of it.” Application: Keep your word, integrity matters. God honors covenant even when we fail to discern perfectly. His mercy can redeem our mistakes and bring them into His purpose. Spiritual Warning — The Cost of Presumption Pastor reminded that Israel's misstep came not from rebellion but assumption: “They assumed they knew what to do because it looked obvious. But assumption is the enemy of revelation.” He linked this to modern believers: People presume God's approval because of success or blessing. Churches presume direction because of tradition. “We don't pray about things anymore because we think we already know the answer. That's dangerous ground.” Joshua 10 — When the Enemy Attacks Your Covenant Five Amorite kings formed an alliance to destroy Gibeon for aligning with Israel. The Gibeonites cried out to Joshua for help—and Joshua honored the covenant, marching all night from Gilgal to defend them. “When you make covenant before God, He'll expect you to keep it even when it costs you sleep, comfort, or convenience.” God honored Joshua's obedience with supernatural victory: The enemy was thrown into confusion. Large hailstones fell from heaven, killing more than the sword. The sun stood still over Gibeon as Joshua prayed for extended daylight. “When you honor covenant, God honors you. Heaven will move time itself to fulfill His word through a faithful servant.” The Sun Stands Still — God's Power in Partnership Pastor emphasized that God didn't act until Joshua spoke in faith: “The miracle didn't happen until Joshua opened his mouth. Faith is voice-activated.” This battle revealed divine partnership—God works through people who trust His covenant and speak His promises. “God didn't tell Joshua to pray for the sun to stand still—he just believed big enough to ask. That's faith that moves creation.” Application: Don't wait for the perfect conditions to believe in miracles. When you walk in covenant obedience, heaven backs your faith. God Finishes What He Starts Joshua captured the five kings and had them brought before Israel. He instructed his commanders to place their feet on the necks of the defeated kings. “That's a picture of what Christ does through us. He lets us stand in His victory.” Pastor tied this to Romans 16:20: “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Spiritual Principle: “God gives you victory not just to end a battle—but to establish dominion. When you stand in covenant authority, the enemy is beneath your feet.” Closing Reflections Never stop seeking God's direction, even after victories. Keep covenant—your word matters to heaven. Faith speaks boldly—God moves through the believing voice. Victory comes through obedience, not shortcuts. Don't mistake mercy for approval—learn from Gibeon's deception but walk in Joshua's faith. Bro. Matthew concluded with a call to vigilance and worship: “We're living in days of deception. Don't trust what looks right—trust what God says. Stay prayed up, stay in the Word, and you'll see the sun stand still in your life too.”

In today's readings, Fr. Mike highlights David's humility in two instances: when David asked the Gibeonites how he could repair their relationship after they had been mistreated by Saul, and when David takes a step back from battle. He also explains the role of the gatekeepers as people who would be responsible for guarding the doors to the Temple. The readings are 2 Samuel 21, 1 Chronicles 26, and Psalm 40.
