This is what he sang: ‘The Lord keeps me safe. He is my great rock and my strong place. My God is my high rock. I run to him to hide and be safe. He keeps me safe like a soldier’s shield. He is the strong place where I can hide safely. God, you have […]

David took the bones of Saul and Jonathan and also the bones of the 7 men who had been hung. They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan with those of Kish, Saul’s father, in Zela in Benjamin’s land. The king had told them what they should do. And they did it all. Then God […]

For three years together no food grew in Israel. So David asked the Lord what had caused this trouble. The Lord said, ‘It is because of the blood of the Gibeonites.

Ahithophel got on his donkey and he left Jerusalem. He realized that Absalom had not agreed to his ideas. When he arrived home, he told his family what he needed to tell them. Then he hung himself by his neck. He died and they buried him in his father’s grave. 2 Samuel 17:23 亞希多弗見不依從他的計謀，就備上驢，歸回本城；到了家，留下遺言，便吊死了，葬在他父親的墳墓裏。 撒母耳記下 […]

Absalom and all Israel’s men said, ‘Hushai’s idea is better than Ahithophel’s.’ (The Lord had decided to make Ahithophel’s idea seem worse than Hushai’s idea. He wanted to cause bad trouble for Absalom.) 2 Samuel 17:14 押沙龍和以色列眾人說：「亞基人戶篩的計謀比亞希多弗的計謀更好！」這是因耶和華定意破壞亞希多弗的良謀，為要降禍與押沙龍。 撒母耳記下 17:14
