So Cap is asking, what two specific questions did David ask of the Lord following Saul’s death?
Speaker 1
I wish I could ask Cap what prompted this question. I wonder if it’s like from a homework assignment, but just a little context. First, in one Samuel 31, we see the death of Saul. For example, verse eleven says, now when the inhabitants of Jobesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, all the valiant men rose and traveled at night and took the body of Saul in the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshawn, and they came to Jabath and burned them there. So Paul dies.
Speaker 1
In one Samuel 31, we go to second Samuel one.
Speaker 1
So we’re starting now the second book of Samuel, first chapter, first words, it says now came to Bass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag. On the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was when he came to David, and then we proceed to find out that this man reveals to David that Saul was dead, and he claims that he was the one that killed Saul. And then David orders that guy to be killed. And then David gives a lamentation to Saul.
Speaker 1
Now we come to second Samuel two. Second Samuel, chapter two, verse one. And it reads, it happened after this that David inquired of the Lord. So finally we come to David asking questions, and he inquired of the Lord, saying, shall I go up to any of the cities in Judah? And the Lord said to him, go up.
Speaker 1
So question number one is, shall I go up to the cities of Judah? And God said, basically, yes. Then David asked the second question, where shall I go up? And he, referring to God, said to Hebron. So David went up there and his two wives also, Ahinoam, the Jezrolytis and Abigail, the widow of Nabal, the Carmilite.
Speaker 1
So there you have it. Question number one was, shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And then the second question was, where shall I go up? And you got to give David credit, because compared to a lot of people in the Bible, david is one of those few people who consistently, not every time, but pretty consistently throughout, he’s always asking God, god, what should I do? What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1
And this is a man who we’re told has a heart after God, and he definitely gives us a good example of always before we take a major action, we should consult with God first. So I appreciate that. Of David. I’m glad the Bible records these things.
