As I have begun to read the Bible once again this year, I’ve attempted to do so without the input of pastors and theologians. Each time I study the Bible, I try to do so in a different way so I not only become bored with reading it, but also to learn things from a Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_samuel/9.htm I don’t know how long David mourned the death of Saul’s son Jonathon, but it had to have hit him hard. Jonathon was like a brother to him. And David hasn’t forgotten him, and wants to do something in his memory. David founds out that Jonathon named Mephibosheth, who we read about before and Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/psalms/96.htm The author of Psalm 96 is unknown, but is likely attributed to David since most of the psalms were written by him. And this psalm/song is not only another praise of God and His goodness, it is also a prophesy about the coming of Jesus to judge us. Many people think of that as Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/psalms/60.htm A psalm is actually a song set to music. They usually don’t rhyme like a modern day song, I believe they are more of a chant, a singing prayer if you will. The majority of the psalms were written by David, and the title of many explains the setting or situation David was in Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_samuel/7.htm The Canaanites that occupied “the Promised Land”, the land God gave to the Hebrews, we pagans. They all had came from Noah, but like Esau who was angry about his birthright and married a Canaanite woman just to spite Isaac, that side of the family tree left God, distanced themselves from Him. There were Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_samuel/5.htm Now that Abner and Ishbosheth are dead, Judah and Israel are once again one country and they anoint and install David as King over the entire land. And God’s Will was done. And David still confers with God, serves Him, and does as He wishes, and as a result of his faithfulness, we can Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_chronicles/3.htm The four Gospels of the New Testament, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are pretty much about the same, just from a different perspective. It is reported that Mark wrote his Gospel first, and Mark was a man of few words; in the words of Sgt. Friday of the TV Show “Dragnet”, Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_chronicles/1.htm Sorry for the sudden changes, but I’ve gotten way off base. My original intent was to simply share my notes about the books and chapters as I read them, but somehow someone dropped the reins and my mouth has began to run wild. Most of this problem is caused by the fact that I Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_samuel/4.htm Having read the Bible from front to back before, it is hard for me to refrain from the things Jesus taught, which will be reviewed later in the Bible. And the reason it is hard is because Jesus was always in existence with God in the Godhead, Jesus was seen throughout the Old Testament, Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/2_samuel/3.htm Joab was the commander of David’s army, Abner the commander of Saul’s. And if you remember, Abner divided the country by appointing Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, as King of Israel, despite the fact that God had anointed David to fill this roll. So as it turned out, the tribe and territory of Judah installed God’s Continue reading
