This week’s passage is 2 Samuel 21:1-22. Even though the rebellions have been stopped, everything was not okay, there was still need for reconciliation. A picture of God’s faithfulness. God cared about the Gibeonites. Deut. 24:16, it wasn’t a normal practice for children to be killed because of the sins of their parents. Deut. 21:22&23 required the quick burial for a criminal. Going along with what people want, and not consulting the Lord, can lead us to a place we never should have gone. The more selfish a person gets, the more they focus on their feelings of discontent and what they think will make them feel better. David’s military career started and ended with battles against giants.
