261 | Ruth2 y did Boaz redeem Ruth not Naomi? | Ruth 3:9 | Val | 200161 | ||
Also Naomi was too old to have any more children and she was depressed because of the loss of the men - her husband and sons. So Ruth took care of her and would not leave her. She went out and brought food back. This is how she met Boaz. So when she told Naomi about Boaz's kindness, Naomi instructed her what to do. Boaz and Ruth were the parents of Obed, Obed was the father of Jesse, Jesse was the father of David, David's line led down to the virgin Mary who was the mother of our Lord Jesus. One of the interesting things I learned when I studied Ruth is that the Lord is our Kinsman Redeemer. Not only was He the Kinsman Redeemer for the Jews but also for the gentiles as well as Ruth was a gentile. Interesting isn't it? Blessings -Val | ||||||
262 | 1 samuel | 1 Samuel | Val | 197841 | ||
1 Sam 25:39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and has kept back His servant from evil. The LORD has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife. | ||||||

1 Sam 25:27 "Now let this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who accompany my lord. 1 Sam 25:28 "Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil will not be found in you all your days. 1 Sam 25:29 "Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; but the lives of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling. 1 Sam 25:30 "And when the LORD does for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and appoints you ruler over Israel, 1 Sam 25:31 this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the LORD deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant." 1 Sam 25:32 Then David said to Abigail, "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me, 1 Sam 25:33 and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand. 1 Sam 25:34 "Nevertheless, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, unless you had come quickly to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male." 1 Sam 25:35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him and said to her, "Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and granted your request." |

264 | Samuel serving where he shouldn | 1 Sam 1:1 | Val | 213373 | ||
Dear MJH; a good set of books is the Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the bible. They can be purchased for about 50-60 dollars and there are five volumes. I read up on the priesthood and found that the requirements given by Moses to Aaron and his sons may have been primarily while they were wandering in the wilderness. After Aaron's death the words Levites and priests became synomous. As Keily has already stated Samuel was from the priestly line. One good thing about these volumes is you can read each name and a desciption of them and their ancestors. Most valuable in my reading this topic is the following: Influence of OT priesthood on Christian Doctrine - The Levitical priesthood and the sacrifical system in which it operated, found their fulfillment and perfection in Christ. In the NT, Christ is the High Priest, Hebrews, Romans 3:25. He is the great High Priest, eternally one with the Father, Hebrew 1; identified with man in Incarnation, Hebrews 2:14-18; 4:15; 5:1, 8-10. He is the mediator of the new covenant 7:23-28; 8:6-13; 9:15, perfecting eternal redemption, 9:11-28; 10:11-18 and assuring His people of constant access to God 10:19-25. Moveover, all of God's people are priests in the NT 1 Peter 2:5, 9, Romans 12:1, Hebrews 13:15, Revelation 1:5. Two vital elements were transmitted to the NT teaching: the doctrine of priestly mediation and the priestly hierarachy. The Epistle to the Hebrews builds on the teaching of the effectual high priesthood of Christ. Ministry in the Church has replaced the ancient God-ordained hierarchy. - C. L. Feinberg Sincerely, Val |

265 | Where the priest impatient and greedy? | 1 Sam 2:13 | Val | 206118 | ||
Eli's sons were interrupting the priests in their offering to the Lord. They were not to take the meat until the priest had prepared the fat for the Lord. By their doing this, they were eating the fat. A word study on "fat" shows it was to be the Lord's part. A reading of Lev. 10:1-7 shows how serious offense this was. In essence the behavior was not regarding the Lord as Holy. A reading of 1 Samuel 2:29-36 shows the Lord confronting Eli about this situation. It seems Eli may have been eating the fat as well because he was very fat. For this he and his sons were told what their judgement would be and again in 1 Sam. 3:13. 1 Sam 3:13 "For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them. What they were doing poking the fork in the pot was taking the fat which was the Lord's. They were taking the meat from the pot. The Lord gives instructions and if those instructions are not followed there are consequences. This same truth applies today. God judges sin. Eli failed by not rebuking his sons. As a consequence his sons die on the same day and Eli falls and dies when he hears the news. The ark is taken by Israel's enemies thus the whole nation suffers. 1 Sam 4:15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were set so that he could not see. 1 Sam 4:16 The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, "How did things go, my son?" 1 Sam 4:17 Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken." 1 Sam 4:18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. Thus he judged Israel forty years. Blessings, Val |

No problem. I think Eli's sons were taking advantage of their position. I believe there were numerous priests performing this service. The two sons were like the head priests. Eli was the top priest. Levitcus lays out the details. I have studied Leviticus and I Samuel that is why I answered your question. Leviticus would probably answer your detail question about the fork but again it all goes back to the "fat". Blessings, Val | ||||||
267 | What are the lessons to learn from Joshu | 1 Sam 9:1 | Val | 196944 | ||
Joshua and Caleb believed God and were not afraid of the people in the land. They were allowed to enter. Many died in the wilderness because of their unbelief. Num 14:6 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; Num 14:7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, "The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. Num 14:8 "If the LORD is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us--a land which flows with milk and honey. Num 32:11 'None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully, Num 32:12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the LORD fully.' Num 32:13 "So the LORD'S anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the LORD was destroyed. |

268 | putting forth their hand? | 1 Sam 24:12 | Val | 194029 | ||
1 Sam 24:12 "May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you. The short answer is that David sought to please the Lord. Saul was unreasonable and suspicious of David and tormented him to the point of trying to kill him. David on many occasions had been spared from Saul's men by the Lord. I am sure he was frustrated with Saul and on more than one occasion could have ended Saul's life. He chose rather to leave it to the Lord. As an application to our lives today, if we continually seek to please the Lord He will vindicate us of lies and slander against us if we like David leave it to the Lord. We must always be in constant prayer and walk in faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. Staying close to our Lord in daily bible reading and prayer is the best defense. |

Bowler, are you OK. Haven't seen you post in a while. Hope everything is alright. I have been studying Hebrews. Here are some verses for encouragement. Heb 13:1 Let love of the brethren continue. Heb 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. Heb 13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. Heb 13:4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Heb 13:5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," Heb 13:6 so that we confidently say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?" Heb 13:7 Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hope you have a good day in the Lord. Blessings Val |

271 | Was this really Samuel's spirit? | 1 Sam 28:11 | Val | 201923 | ||
Correction, the devil is no where mentioned in this passage. As gvgriffin has answered the Lord allowed Samuel to speak to Saul one last time. We must always put scripture above commentary no matter how beloved our commentaries are to us. | ||||||

274 | Was this really Samuel's spirit? | 1 Sam 28:11 | Val | 201955 | ||
The Lord had confronted Saul about his sin - but Saul had never repented of it. Samuel told Saul the kingdom had been torn from him - "what is this sound of the sheep I hear" Saul could not accept this fact and was in rebellion against the Lord even until the day he died. Consulting a medium was a sin. When Samuel spoke to him one last time he repeated what the Lord had already told him and added the news of his death. It wasn't that the Lord wouldn't answer Saul. It was that he wouldn't listen. When Saul took that attitude the Lord no longer answered his prayers. The lesson in this for us is that we must deal with sin in our lives and worship the Lord his way according to His ordinances. Thank you for listening and searching out the scriptures for yourself. Blessings, Val |

275 | why God reprents for making saul as king | 2 Sam 1:1 | Val | 209071 | ||
In the book of 2 Samuel the account is given of the relationship of Saul and the Lord as well as Saul and the Lord's prophet Samuel. The Lord gave Saul instructions through His prophet Samuel. Saul did not wait on Samuel but went ahead and offered sacrifices. The Lord gave Saul another chance and gave him instructions concerning the evil King Agag. Saul did not obey the Lord. This time the Lord torn the kingdom from Saul. All of this was revealed to Saul through the prophet Samuel. Samuel loved Saul and mourned this fact. The Lord had to prompt Samuel to move ahead. The message for us may be that we must keep moving forward. Things do not always turn out the way we want them and people may disappoint us by their disobedience to the Lord. It is our personal responsibility to obey the Lord. | ||||||
276 | Throne of his father, David??? | 2 Sam 7:12 | Val | 214186 | ||
It is a fulfillment of the promise made to King David. 2 Sam 7:12 "When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. Something that will help you in answering your questions is to look at the cross references for the particular verse in question. They will shed light on the verse in question. Scripture is the best interpreter of scripture. Sincerely, Val |

278 | Is this about David or about Jesus? | 2 Sam 22:1 | Val | 231539 | ||
On the surface it may appear to be arrogant. However the Lord chose David specifically because of his heart's condition. David wrote most of the Psalms. In reading them we see that he was constantly praising the Lord, being thankful, adoring the Lord. I check the cross references in the margin of my bible when reading a passage. These will shed light on the context of the passage also showing if it is a prophecy about the Lord. There can be a near and far interpretation meaning there may be an immediate meaning.,i.e. Regarding David and a far interpretation meaning a future event, i.e. Regarding our Lord. Hope this helps. | ||||||

Dear Azure, I just finished a Precept Inductive Study of 1 and 2 Samuel. David's immediate family was affected. He lost 4 sons. However, I don't see in scripture where he is the cause of Israel and Judah splitting. |
