Subject: Who'd Be In Charge? |
Bible Note: Greetings Lionstrong! I misinterpreted your original question, and I apologize. According to John MacArthur and Matthew Henry, Isaac would be in charge. Elieazer was Abraham's steward, and would have been entitled to inherit his estate--were it not for the son, Isaac. Also, according to Mr. Henry, Eliezer was to act as a proxy for Isaac, in order to ensure that Isaac would not fall into the sins of the Canaanites. I hope I understood you this time, if not, hand me the mental floss..:-) 2nd Samuel 22:36-37 |
