More Trouble

Hello Everyone: 

I was really running today so I am sorry for the last post.  I’ll just do a couple of scriptures since it is so late in the day and many of you probably will not log in again until Monday, so I don’t want you to get behind.

We left off on our story about how Israel and Judah were fighting over brining David back into the city.   Today, we will show what the outcome of that dispute was:

Here is our text:

II Samuel 20: 1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said , We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel. 2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem. 3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death , living in widowhood. 

As you can see, the trouble maker in this situation is a man by the name of Sheba who blows his trumpets and tells all the Israelites to go to their tents for they disowned David.  

David goes on to his house in Jerusalem and takes his ten concubines and feeds them and takes care of them for the rest of their life but David never has sex with them again.  They lived in widowhood yet they belonged to David. 

Now David has another fight on his hand.   He is still not totally secure in his kingdom.

Have a great weekend everyone and I’ll see you in web land on Monday. 

Stay encouraged everyone and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
