Bible Note: Hi, I had a couple of things I wanted to share and I had to give up the computer to my daughter who is in her last week of college. :)) One of the references in my Study Bible for 1 Samuel 10:27 is 2 Chron 17:5. Here the Lord established the kingdom into the control of Jehoshaphat, and all Judah brought tribute to him. This gives me the idea that a gift was to be expected and these worthless men, these rebels, did not bring a present to Saul. We can contrast this also with the occasion in Matthew's gospel where the Ruler came forth who would shepherd His people. Matthew 2:10, "And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And they came into the house and saw the Child with Mary and His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him; and opening their treasures they presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh." Here is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we, too, see His star and have come to worship Him. We worship Him because He is able to deliver us, to shepherd us, and to reign over us. From the heart, Ray |
