1st Samuel 20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground you will not be established nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
1st Samuel 20:33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David…. 1st Samuel 22:11 Then Saul sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king. 12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
1st Samuel 22:13 And Saul said unto him, why have you conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? 17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the Lord: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
It is with great sadness that we have to announce to you that we are living at a time when the thirst for revenge is running rife across the world. Persons are poisoned, beheaded, and nations are rising against nations, just as Jesus said they would, in the pursuit of revenge, either phantom or real. As Christians, Jesus instructs folks to take a different route if someone steps on our toes, inadvertently or deliberately.
1st Samuel 22:16 And the king said, thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
