30 Days of Bible Food

Well readers, here we go again reading the Word of God, the bible on this land mark day where we have only 60 days left to complete this excellent goal and task of reading the bible in 90 days with understanding.

We are going to begin today's reading in 1 Chronicles chapter 10.  Some of today's reading will be a rehash of the kings stories from another point of view.  Let us begin...

1 Chronicles Chapter 10

This chapter begins with the telling of the death of king Saul and his house, along with Jonathan; how Saul committed suicide to avoid being tortured by the Philistines who shot and wounded him.  And we are reminded that Saul died for his sins against the Lord; for not keeping His Word; and seeking a familiar spirit.  If God would kill a great king in Israel for seeking a psychic; then He would kill today for doing that also.

1 Chronicles 11

 ¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Right away the people moved to make David their king when they heard of the tidings of Saul.  David had Joab knock off the Jebusites who were inhabiting Jebus, as they call it, which is Jerusalem and David got greater and greater because the Lord God was with him.  The chapter ends with the listing of David's mighty men.

1 Chronicles 12

All the tribes of Israel came up peaceably to make David their king and captain.  Men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

Moreover there was joy in Israel to make David king over them.


In 1st Chronicles chapter 13; David brings up all the tribes and the Levites and proposes them to bring up the ark of our God to Jerusalem because they didn't in Saul's days.  And it is a good idea to everyone to do so.  So they went up to Kirjathjearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up the ark of God the LORD, that dwells between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.  
And as we read in kings, they put it on a cart and when the calf stumbled the ark began to fall and Uzza put his hand to catch it; a good thing, the right thing, but the Lord killed him on the spot for touching the Ark.  Imagine that; dancing, singing, rejoicing for the Ark and all the sudden boom, a death.  David was shoot and all Israel; and they left the Ark to figure out what to do.

1 Chronicles 14

Other nations began to contact David and send gifts so he took this that God confirmed and established him as king of Israel.  He took more wives and had more children.  The Philistines were not thrilled about David and came up to kill him.  ¹⁰And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

David forgot to do this when he went up to get the Ark of the Covenant, he didn't inquire of the the Lord.  ¹⁴Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

 ¹⁵And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.  God even gave David war strategies and went out and fought for David.  The sounds on the top of the mulberry trees were the sound of wind but it was angels and the Lord going out to battle.  That is the best feeling in the world when God is fighting for you.  Now as other nations heard about this; they began to fear Israel under David's leadership.  God brought that fear upon them.

1 Chronicles 15

After David asked the Lord, then David said, nobody should carry the ark of God except the Levites: it is the Levites who the LORD has chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister Him at all times.  And they gathered to go get the Ark of God correctly.  Do you know what this taught me?  That no matter how much zeal and emotion we have in serving God; we cannot do things any way we want.  We must do it the way it was set up to be done.

God will not permit you if He commands you cut the grass and you don't; but instead clean the entire house making it spic and span.  He will not be pleased with that.  We must do things His way and do them the right way.

¹³For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

 ¹⁴So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

 ¹⁵And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

Because they didn't do this is due order, Uzza had to die.  Now they brought the Ark of God to Jerusalem with singing, dancing, and rejoicing; but Michal, Saul's daughter, was not happy to see David dancing as he was because she thought he was doing it to get women; but David danced before God because he was happy to bring the Ark of God to Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 16

They brought the Ark of God; and feasted, David gave every family a piece of meat, bread, and gallon of wine.  It was a good time; I wish I was there.  David appointed the Levites, priests and singers, who would take care of the Ark of God as commanded in the writings of Moses daily, and David wrote and prayed a psalm to the people; in fact it was Psalm 48.  David then sent all the people home and returned to bless his house too.

1 Chronicles 17

In chapter 17 here David is sitting thinking he lives in a nice house but the Ark of God sat in a tent and that didn't make sense to him.  Some of us know about that; we have a great big house, but the church we go to is in a storefront or is just a shabby building. Your mind would be moved to do something about that if you pondered on it deeply as David did.  So he decides to build a Temple for the Lord.  Nathan tells him to do it because God is with you on so many things; but it still requires us to ask God before we do a thing.

God had David not build a Temple; in fact God did things for David and never asked David to do this.  The Lord goes into future prophesy telling David when he dies God will raise him a seed that will build His Temple.

 ¹²He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
 ¹³I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
 ¹⁴But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

We would think this is Solomon since he built the Temple right?  But Solomon was not considered a son to God; and when Solomon had all those strange women; God rent the kingdom from his son; so His mercy was taken from him; and most of all Solomon died and there are no accounts of him raising from the dead yet; so who's kingdom is going to be established forever, came from the seed of David, and this being was known as the son of God?  Jesus!  
This is reading the bible with understanding.  David thanked God in prayer concerning His word.

Chapter 18

The LORD preserved David wherever he went.  Whatever he did prospered because God is showing us that David's Jerusalem is what Jesus Jerusalem will be; one kingdom other nations cannot fight against.  ¹⁴So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

1 Chronicles 19

Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son Hanun took over after him as the customs are.  David sent messengers to console Hanun because David liked his father.  But he thought they came to spy and take over the land; so he shamed them by shaving their beards and cutting holes in the buttocks area of their garment (like the artist known as prince) and sent them away.

David heard this and had them wait in Jericho until their beards grew back in before they returned home; and David went to Ammon to handle business.  Ammon hired the Syrians to help them; but when the smoke cleared David took them both down leaving nothing and making Ammon servants to Israel:

¹⁹And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

1 Chronicles 20

Chapter twenty just tells of wars between Philistines where Israel defeated tall giant type men, showing that the Lord was truly with them.

1 Chronicles 21

 ¹And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.  When we read this in second Samuel chapter 24; it accounted that the Lord stood up against Israel; so who was it the Lord or Satan that caused David to be provoked to number Israel?  It was the Lord; but he sent Satan.  When evil needs to be done; the Lord sends an evil spirit (as was done to kill Ahab when a lying spirit was sent to his prophets).  

When the Lord sees us today sinning against Him; then all of the sudden drama comes into our lives; an evil spirit came in to punish us so we can correct our way to the Lord.  So Satan stood up and had David number Israel.  This caused 70,000 people to be killed in Israel.  

¹⁴So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
¹⁵And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it:...

What angel is known as the destroyer?  Satan!  The Lord showed David the angel as he was destroying the city; and David feared because he saw that angel's sword.  However, David and the priest made sacrifices for the Lord to hold off His anger.

1 Chronicles 22

David wants the House of the Lord to be great so that all nations revere it and come unto it.  So he prepares to build it while he's alive and instructs Solomon on it as well.

¹⁰He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Although David thought the Lord was speaking of Solomon regarding the Temple; verse 10 clearly separates it from Solomon because Solomon as I mentioned before was not known as the son of God.  David finishes telling Solomon to be strong in building the Temple and tells all Israel to support him in this great feat.

1 Chronicles 23

When David was old, he made Solomon his son king over Israel, gathering all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites to the anointing ceremony.  This concludes today's milestone reading.  Let's continue and push forward and finish this goal.  Thank you for joining peace in Jesus name.

Bible Food 2 Samuel - Day 23

Good morning we are moving along; I hope this has become a habit to you.

We are starting in 2 Samuel 13
In this chapter Amnon, David's son wanted Tamar, his half sister, who was also the sister to Absalom.  And he wanted her desperately; so he laid a trap to lay with her.  And when she refused; he raped her and sent her away.
Absalom and Tamar had the same mother; while Amnon had a different mother; so Absalom waited two years and killed Amnon for raping his sister.  

We can't help but remember what Nathan the prophet sentenced against David for sinning against the Lord by laying with Uriah the Hittites wife.  Now all this evil is in the house of David.

 ³⁹And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

Absalom fled; and David was still worried sick about him as a father would a son; but he was comforted in Amnon being dead because at least he knew he was dead.

 In 2 Samuel chapter 14
Joab didn't want Absalom to get away with this and wanted David to summon him back to Jerusalem; and Joab had a lady do all this talking and fibbing to David and finally David ordered Absalom to return to Jerusalem; but did not want to see Absalom.

 ²³So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

2 Samuel 15

 ¹And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.  Since David would not come see Absalom; Absalom slowly plotted to take the kingdom of Israel from David.  
He started being pleasing to the people and being a politician.  Thus he ended up stealing the hearts of the men of Israel.  So David left Jerusalem for fear Absalom would raise up and kill the kings.

¹⁶And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.

2 Samuel 16

As the king fled a man named Shimei out of Saul's family, who was still very bitter about the kingdom going to David, came and shouted at David and cursed him.

This guy did what is done in Iraq today how people throw rocks at US military men; he cast stones at David and all David's men.  I could tell he was emotional and crazy; because he threw rocks at David's mighty men, who are proven killers.

Shimei called David a "bloody man" and Abishai the son of Zeruiah ask David the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head."  If David would have done so; it would not correct anything but look how easy David's men said that and they would have done it for David.

David was logical and reasonable; and said if my son wants to kill me (speaking of Absalom), what of this man from the house of Saul?  Meanwhile, another prophecy spoken against David came to pass as Absalom slept with all his father's concubines who were left behind.

²²So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

2 Samuel 17

Now Ahithophel was giving the counsel to Absalom and they began to get better counsel so this guy went and got his house in order and killed himself.  He did this because he knew that if Absalom didn't kill him later, David and his men surely would.  So he settled with a suicide.  


In 2 Samuel Chapter 18: Joab convinces David to fight back and stop running away from Absalom; and David agreed; but warned his men not to kill his son but to bring him back alive.  

They battled and 20,000 men died and as Absalom got his head caught in the boughs of a great oak tree while riding his mule.

 ¹⁰And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.

The man did not kill the kings son; but Joab did putting three arrows in his heart while he was alive caught in the tree.  Joab is a vengeful man, and will disobey orders to get revenge.  

He did it was Abner (who killed his brother), and he did it here with Absalom (who burned his field).  If you cannot control your emotions; it will come back and haunt you as all of this is haunting David who did not control his lustful emotions for Uriah the Hittites wife.  In addition to that Joab had ten young men smote Absalom to make sure he was dead.

When this was reported to the king, he wept for his son like any loving parent would for their child who is not.

³³And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

2 Samuel 19

 ¹And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
⁶In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.

Here Joab was making a valid point.  If the king keeps weeping for his son; all his servants will start to look at David weird saying, "this the son that was trying to kill you and us, and probably the rest of your family, why are you crying for him?"

So he advised David to stop and to carry on the administration.  And David did so.

2 Samuel 20

Another Benjamite was running across Israel telling people not to deal with David.  We have to imagine the children of Benjamin, where Saul was from, probably did not like David because they feel he stole the kingdom.

So a wise woman of the Benjamites got all the people to deal with Sheba, the man who did not want to deal with David, to shut him up because Joab and David's men were going to deal with that town.  So they brought the man out and had him killed, giving his head to Joab.

David did return to Jerusalem and had to put those ten concubines into widowhood because of the Levite law that once a woman is gone into by another man by means of rape or adultery, the husband cannot go back unto her.

2 Samuel 21: Here in chapter 21 there was a famine 3 years in Jerusalem and David went to the Lord to see why and found out it was because Saul killed the Gibeonites in the land.  This was not to be done because the league Joshua made with them.  

The Lord does not let people break vows or covenants.

The Gibeonites demanded 7 of Saul's sons be hanged; and this had to be done to stop the famine.  And they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

2 Samuel 22

 ¹And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
 ²And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

David gives thanks and praises the Lord.  This same prayer and song is found in Psalm chapter 18; thus letting us know that David did write many of the Psalms.  This concludes today's reading.  Join again tomorrow.

Bible Food Day 22 - 1 Samuel

Good morning; we are embarking on day 22 of our 90 day goal of reading the bible with understanding.  Today we will begin reading in 1 Samuel 29.  Here we see David still in Gath of the Philistines and they are going to war against Israel and David was going with them and his men.  The princes of the Philistines begged and demanded the king, who was friends with David, not to let David fight because he might switch sides and it be deadly to them.

1 Samuel 30  So David and his men stayed back; but when they got back to their dwelling they saw the Amalekites of Edom take their possessions and kidnap their wives and children.  Many of the men were so upset and sadden that they wanted to stone David.  But David went to his bread and butter and inquired at the Lord what he should do and the Lord answered him and he did it.  Because they even took David's two wives and he was grieved greatly.

But they found the Amalekites having a ball drinking and dancing over all they stole; and David and his men jumped them and smote them and gathered all their belongings full.

 ¹⁸And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

1 Samuel chapter 31

 ¹Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
 ²And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
Now in this battle; the Philistines were clobbering Israel and it got to the point, as the familiar spirit had told Saul that he would be dead; and Saul and his sons were killed in battle.  Saul was struck real bad and asked his Armour bearer to finish him because he was badly wombed.  The man would not; so Saul fell on his own sword.
 ⁶So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
The Philistines cut off Saul's head and took his body and put it in the temple of their god Ashtaroth.

We move into the second book of Samuel at chapter 1

A man came up from Saul's camp into Davids and meets David to tell what happened to Saul.  And he reported that Saul was dead and his sons.  David asked him how did he know and the man proceeded to lie to make himself appear better in the eyes of David and instead of telling the story as he saw it; he said he did Saul the favor and killed him at his request.  So David responded in verse fourteen:

 ¹⁴And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
 ¹⁵And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.  

David had the man killed for killing Saul, although he did not do it.  This let's me know to tell the truth at all times, especially if you don't know the shot.  David avoided killing Saul all these years; he was not going to be please with another person killing Saul; particularly not if you are a non-Israelite.
Then David, still a music and psalmist wrote these for Saul and Jonathan.

¹⁹The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
 ²⁵How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
 ²⁶I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
 ²⁷How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

2 Samuel 2

David went to ask the Lord if he should go up to Judah now that Saul is dead because David knew he would be king after Saul passed because Samuel had anointed him.  And the Lord told him to go up even to Hebron.  One thing about David; he asked the Lord about something before he made a move all the time. 

And the men of Judah made David king over them and anointed him; but Abner, Saul's general, made Ishbosheth, Saul's son who survived, king of the rest of Israel.

 ¹⁰Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
 ¹¹And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

Now Abner and Joab went to play fighting with their men to see who was the toughest and it got serious and it ended up with Joab's brother being killed by Abner because they were trying to kill Abner.  What we would call today; a senseless killing.

2 Samuel 3

 ¹Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
⁶And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.  Now David's kingdom was becoming stronger while Saul's house was growing weaker; and Abner and Saul's son Ishbosheth fell out over Abner taking one of Saul's concubines.  Abner was very upset over this, he probably felt like family, so he resigned and even decided to go help campaign Israel to join David.

Ishbosheth wasn't a valiant man and he fear Abner so he had no response to this as Abner was his force in even  setting him up as king over Israel.  So Abner went to the house of David and made a league with them all he had to do was bring Michal, David's wife, to David who was given to someone else.  Howbeit, David worked very hard for her.  She probably wasn't happy about this; but that is how it had to be done.

In verse 19 we Abner campaigning for David in the ears of the people of Israel
¹⁹And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
²³When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.  Joab still had that issue with Abner and even though David and his administration made peace with Abner; Joab took it upon himself to go around that league and killed Abner.

 ²⁸And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
 ²⁹Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.

David knew a great man had fallen in Israel that day because Abner was Saul's enforcer and general, and a good man at his job for Saul.  And David required a fast in Israel for Abner.

2 Samuel 4

Saul's son was not scared that Abner was dead because that was his protection and two men of Benjamin seeing this decided be heroes and kill Saul's son and turn it into David for rewards (jobs in his administration).  David said if the men who brought the news that Saul and Jonathan were killed; how much more these.  And he killed the men.

In 2 Samuel 5

All the tribes of Israel came to make David their captain and David was 30 years of age when he began to reign; doing 7 years in Hebron and 33 in Jerusalem.

David saw the Lord was really working for him in establishing the kingdom and he took more wives and had more sons and daughters.

2 Samuel 6

 ¹Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
 ²And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.

David wanted to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem.  Now if you remember back when were reading in Leviticus; you'd remember there was a way that the people had to deal with the Ark of God.  But David's men went and set the Ark on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

⁷And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

God killed Uzza for not doing it correctly.  If we learn anything, we learn we cannot serve God any way we want.  So they left it and went back for it; and did it correctly.  And David danced and rejoice, he and all Israel.

2 Samuel 7

 ¹And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
 ²That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
 ³And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.  David decided to make a temple for the Lord since David had a palace; but the Lord had a tent.  

Nathan the prophet told David to do what he wanted because the Lord is with him.  This is not always the case.  David was told not to build a house for God because his hands were too bloody.

The Lord would have David's son build the temple and establish it forever, which is a two-fold statement because Solomon is not alive; but Jesus is.

2 Samuel 8

 ¹And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
David went about conquering enemies and further establishing the kingdom of Israel.

 ¹³And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
 ¹⁴And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
 ¹⁵And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 

2 Samuel 9

David keeping to his promise to Saul search out in all the kingdom if any of his descendants were left in which David can show kindness towards.

 ⁶Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!

David found Mephibosheth; the son of Jonathan and further allowed him to sit at the kings table continually.

2 Samuel 10 David found himself warring against Syria and Ammon because of the king's son (of Ammon) who did foolishly when David sent messengers of comfort to his father who passed.  It caused a war and Syria decided to help the children of Ammon, in which Israel took.   

¹⁸And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

 ¹⁹And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

In Samuel the second book and the 11th chapter we get the infamous story about David and his lust and adultery of Bathsheba.

David commits adultery and is punished; he even committed murder just to successfully commit adultery.

 ²And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
 ³And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
 ⁴And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.

David should have went to war with his army first off; and secondly he should have heeded to his men who told him Bathsheba was a married woman.  Now I will spare putting all the scripture here but David sent her home and she let him know she was pregnant and then David attempted to get her husband to come home from war and sleep with his wife.

After that did not work, he sent the man into the hottest battle and there he was killed and now David can move on in with no one knowing he committed adultery.  But doesn't God know all things?  Does God not keep track of all our secret things?

Now let us see what the Lord weighed in on this whole event.

2 Samuel 12

 ⁷And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 

The Lord sent the prophet Nathan to check David and boy did he.  He gave a great parable that angered David to hear someone would do such a thing; but then he found out it was him.  Sometimes we can't see we do the things that other people do; but since we do those things we can't see it as bad.

The Lord hammered David sentencing him to the sword in his household, his wives will be slept with in front of the entire nation, and that David will see much affliction because of his sin but he won't die.  The Lord had given David much; so much is required. 

David confessed his sin; but even two thousand  years later David's act has given a great occasion to non believers (enemies of the Lord) to blaspheme the Lord.  This is our reading today; I really love reading about king David; I hope you enjoyed the reading today.  See you tomorrow for more Bible food.
