Saul's son Ish-Bosheth is murdered in this chapter. The men who do it are so proud of themselves. They cut off his head and bring it King David like a prize!  In verses 9-11, he says, “As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble, when someone told me, ‘Saul is dead,' and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and put him to death in Ziklag. That was the reward I gave him for his news! How much more – when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed – should I not now demand his blood from your hand and rid the earth of you!” -----  Corporate Soft by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/positive-background-music/  Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/  Creative Commons CC BY 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  Sovereign by Kevin MacLeod | https://incompetech.com/  Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/  Creative Commons CC BY 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, September 29, 2024 In 2 Samuel 2:17-3:29, the clash between Judah's army (David and his “mighty men”) and Israel's army under Ish-Bosheth's military commander Abner continues. Pastor Steve's message from this narrative warns of the sins of opposing God's kingdom through intentional rebellion, pursuing God's kingdom for personal ambition, and subverting God's kingdom for selfish consideration. While these activities certainly can restrain God's kingdom, they will never ruin it.

Daily Dose of Hope August 7, 2024 Day 4 of Week 19   Scripture:  2 Sam 1-2; 1 Chronicles 11; Psalm 96, 106; Acts 21   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements New Hope Church's Bible reading plan.   Let's switch things up a bit and start with our New Testament passage, Acts 21.  I have to admit, I struggle with this chapter.  Paul is being warned repeatedly by believers, those who have the gift of prophecy, that he should not go on to Jerusalem because it is dangerous for him.  Paul has experienced persecution and danger, but what is waiting for him in Jerusalem could certainly be the worst yet. And yet, he insists upon going.  Was he ignoring warnings from the Holy Spirit or simply determined to courageously carry out what God called him to do?    Now, most of us will never, ever encounter the kind of resistance and persecution that Paul is experiencing.  But how often have we felt the strong call of God in a particular area and then felt dissuaded by our Christians brothers and sisters to carry it out?  So often, I think people react to our plans more out of fear for us and/or how our lives might be disrupted than from clear guidance from God.  (There are certainly exceptions but I wonder how people's reactions might be different if we asked them to go home and pray about it specifically and diligently for a week.)  Paul clearly felt God had called him to return to Jerusalem, minister to the Jews and Gentiles there, and face the authorities, so that God's Word could be preached to the powers that be no matter the consequences.  Wow, just wow.   Now, we start 2 Samuel.  Certainly, the relationship between Saul and David was complex.  Rather than rejoice in Saul's death, David mourns.  He seems angry at the young Amalekite who kills Saul, putting him out of his misery.  David actually seems to lash out in grief and anger as he orders the young man's death.  Then, the first chapter ends with a lament.   Rather than a royal coronation with lots of fanfare, David grieves.    After Saul's death, David does not rush back to Israel to claim the throne.  Rather, he inquires of God what his next move should be, a great model for all of us.  God tells him to head to Hebron in Judah.  It's there that David is crowned king by the elders of Judah.  But I hope you noted that David was not king over all of Israel.  Rather, Saul's commander and cousin, Abner, appointed one of Saul's sons, Ishbosheth, to be king.  We have no other mention of Ishbosheth as one of Saul's sons.  Most likely, he was born out of wedlock and not considered legitimate.  Regardless, this was a calculated choice for Abner, who could allow Ishbosheth to sit on the throne while he was actually the real power behind a very weak king.   But Ishbosheth was not God's anointed.  That would have been David.  Thus, David allows him to sit on Israel's throne for two years while David stayed in Judah.  That doesn't mean there weren't skirmishes though.  We see that in the last half of the chapter.  Thus begins the on-going war between the house of Saul and the house of David.  More on this tomorrow.   In 1 Chronicles 11, we are fast-forwarding a bit.  The author here doesn't provide a lot of the warring details between the house of Saul and the house of David.  Rather, he jumps right to when David becomes king over all of Israel.  This is what God had said would happen.  It took some time, there was a lot of warfare and heartache, but it came to pass in God's timing.   How many of us really struggle with God's timing?  I know I have at times.  We pray, pray, and pray some more; sometimes we even beg God to intervene in certain circumstances.  Sometimes, God answers immediately.  Other times, it's a waiting game.  Think of everything that David went through before he became king of Israel.  Some of his experiences were horrific!  And yet, God brought him through it.  But God did something powerful in him during those dark times.  How many of us could say the same thing?  God always answers prayers, just not always in the way we want or in the timing we want.    I'm not going to talk about the psalms but do read through them.  They speak of God's glory and God's goodness.  You may recognize some of the lines as being part of hymns and praise songs that we still sing today.  If you are feeling adventurous, try singing one of these psalms, remembering that your voice is a beautiful sound to the Lord.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Saturday, 20 July 2024   Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. Matthew 1:13   “And Zerubbabel begot Abiud, and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor” (CG).   The previous verse ended with, “and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel.” Matthew's genealogy leading to Israel's Messiah now continues with, “And Zerubbabel begot Abiud.”   This listing does not match that of 2 Chronicles 3, which says –   “The sons of Pedaiah were Zerubbabel and Shimei. The sons of Zerubbabel were Meshullam, Hananiah, Shelomith their sister, 20 and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-Hesed—five in all.” 2 Chronicles 3:19. 20   From this list, it is believed by some that Abiud is the same as Hananiah in that genealogy. John Gill thinks he is the same as Mushullam. Either way, the reason for the variance in names is that someone “...might have two names; nor is this unlikely, since it was usual, especially about the time of the Babylonish captivity, for men to have more names than one, as may be observed in Daniel and others, Daniel 1:7 where they went by one, and in Judea by another” Gill.   The list continues with “and Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor.”   Neither name is listed in 2 Chronicles. None of the names from this point on are recorded in Old Testament Scripture because of the dating of 2 Chronicles which ends prior to the intertestamental period.   Of this record, Bengel says –   “Hiller explains in his Syntagmata, pp. 361, sqq., where he shows, that the Jews acknowledged the genealogy in the said passage of Chronicles to be that of the Messiah: nor, indeed, was it necessary that any other genealogy should have been carried further down there than that of the Messiah. There can, therefore, be no doubt but that the passage in question was particularly well known to the Jews; and there was, consequently, the less need that St Matthew should repeat it in extenso. In this generation, then, concludes the scripture of the Old Testament. The remainder of the genealogy was supplied by St Matthew from trustworthy documents of a later date, and, no doubt, of a public character.”   Life application: The genealogical records in the Old Testament were meticulously maintained, but they didn't account for differences in names at the time when two names were used. They simply listed a name and continued on. As such a lot of research is often needed to know who is being referred to. At times, speculation must be made.   An example of one person with two names is found in the sons of Saul –   Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal.” 1 Chronicles 9:39   The son named Esh-Baal is the same as Ishbosheth recorded in 2 Samuel 2:8. Likewise, the son of Jonathan, Mephibosheth of 2 Samuel 4:4 is called Merib-baal in 1 Chronicles 8:34. These things can be deduced from the surrounding text within the narratives at times, but the point is that people being given two names is not unusual, nor is it something that is always noted.   As noted above, Daniel and the three men noted with him in Daniel 1:7 were given new names when they were exiled to Babylon. If their names were recorded, normally only one would be maintained in a particular genealogy. This makes things both difficult and, at times, completely unsure. However, in the Bible, there is enough information for us to be certain that Jesus is the Messiah. Even with a difficult genealogy to consider, innumerable other clues point both to the timing of His coming and the role He would fulfill.   Let us be confident that we have a sound and reliable record of what God intends for us, even if we do not have all the answers to various genealogical difficulties at this time.   Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word which gives us great insights into what You have done and continue to do in the stream of history to bring us back to Yourself. Above all, thank You for Jesus who is so prominently on display in the pages of the Bible. We have every assurance that we are following You properly when we choose to follow Jesus. Amen.

In this episode of "Seeking Truth with Sharon Doran", we delve into the historical intricacies of the second book of Samuel, Chapters two through four. Sharon Doran, a renowned scripture scholar, sheds light on the ancient city of Hebron's significance, how sin essentially stirs division, and juxtaposes the destinies of David, God's chosen king, and Saul, favored by men. She meticulously guides us through the tense political and religious scenarios of the age while navigating the narrative of David's reign. As we traverse through the episode, Sharon provides rare insight into the ongoing battle within and without the households of David and Saul. Insights into their respective strengths, weaknesses, victories, and losses are detailed with a focus on the significant role played by an array of characters, such as Abner, Saul's cousin, and commander, and Asahel, in this unfolding tale of power and transition. Amid the political turmoil, the episode also highlights the presence of betrayal and revenge, symbolized by Joab's action against Abner. The aftermath, including David's reaction and the public's response, is thoroughly probed. Also, the episode revisits the death of Ish-Bosheth, Saul's last son, and the subsequent effects on the power dynamics in the kingdom. The overarching theme of the episode is a provocative discourse on the significance of seeking God's favor rather than men's applause, the danger of over-reliance, and the pivotal choice between trusting in God or leaning on human recognition. Immerse yourself in the diversities of the biblical narrative and trace the intricate relation of these past events to present realities in this enlightening episode.

The Rev. Dr. Peter Elliot, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Seattle, WA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Samuel 4. A king in danger, a plot to kill, and a surprise twist. Ish-Bosheth, Saul's son and rival king of David, is in trouble. His strongest ally is dead, and his kingdom is crumbling. He doesn't know who to trust or what to do. Two of his own commanders have a plan to end his misery and secure their future. They sneak into his bedroom and do something unthinkable. They think they have done a great service to David, but they are in for a shock when they meet him face to face. How will David react to their deed? What will happen to Ish-Bosheth's legacy? 2 Samuel tells how David becomes the king of Israel and faces both success and failure. It shows YHWH's faithfulness to His promise and David's need for His mercy. Through this book, God reveals David in times of both strength and weakness, but nevertheless as a man after God's heart.

Born to Win Podcast - with Ronald L. Dart

It is fascinating, when you’re reading history, to see how much people are the same—in every age and every time. Cultures change, standards change, technology changes, but human nature—at its base—changes very little, if at all. Petty politics, palace intrigue, deal making, trivial and great jealousies: They make us feel right at home even in strange times and places. It is one of the reasons Shakespeare remains so relevant. His plots have been stolen over and over again by playwrights and movie-makers. (When Solomon said, There is nothing new under the sun, he could have been talking about Hollywood.) For all I know, Shakespeare stole some of his stuff from the Bible.But when you read along in the history of Israel, you feel right at home, even in these days of modern, political assassination. When Saul died in battle against the Philistines, anyone reading the story, or even remotely familiar with subsequent history, would have assumed that David would have assumed the throne over all of Israel. After all, Samuel himself had anointed David king at God’s own command and choice. But if that were your assumption, you would have been wrong. The men of Judah accepted him immediately, because David was one of them. But Saul’s chief of the military, a man named Abner, installed Saul’s son as king over the rest of Israel.Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.2 Samuel 3:1 KJ2000None of this could possibly have been lost on a man like Abner. He was a military man, a fighter—tough as nails—and he was very aware. He had his attitudes toward David who had, on one occasion, really showed him up and then rubbed it in front of everyone, as Saul was chasing David from cave to cave. But Abner was no fool, and he well understood the levers of power in his own time. So we can’t be surprised at the outcome of a confrontation between Abner and the new king, Saul’s son Ishbosheth. We’ll find this turning point in 2 Samuel, chapter 3.
