1 Chronicles 10
King Saul disobeyed God and didn’t wait for what God had said to, but went ahead and did his thing and consulted some witchcraft lady for advice rather than God. “So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; and enquired not of the Lord; therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.” 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 1 Chronicles 16 Here is David which is the same thing he wrote in Psalm 105: “Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.” 1 Chron 16:11-12 “For the gods of the people are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.” 1 Chron 16:26 1 Chronicles 21 “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.” 1 Chron 21:1 So even David is susceptible to the attacks of the enemy. 1 Chronicles 22 David says to Solomon his son: “Only the Lord give thee wisdom and understanding.” 1 Chron 22:12 Which as we know he did, and then he was so wise that he could write all those cool Proverbs. 1 Chronicles 28 “And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts; if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.” 1 Chron 28:9 |
1 Chronicles 29
Before he dies David prays this which really sounds like the Lord’s Prayer, a foreshadowing: “Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said ‘Blessed be thou Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. Thine O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.’” 1 Chron 29:10-11 I think these Old Testament books repeat the same stuff, kind of like the gospels tell about Jesus four different ways. |
