Thank you for raising some good q I too have considered on the rightness or wrongness of Davids dealings with different ppl and situations. Things to consider could be the culture. It was ofcourse a much harsher life where enemies were always lurking. I don't know whether it applies but have read up some on the shame vs honor mind set where people exacted decisions made for the betterment of the clan or collective.
I think that Saul’s death was bitter-sweet for David. He never lost his forgiving and merciful heart for his former employer and current arch-enemy. The fact that the Amalekite took it upon himself, without the order from David, to “execute” Saul, “God’s anointed,” was, in fact a capital offense against God. And David may have felt in a horribly vengeful mood after losing his best friend Jonathan in a battle that seemed necessary, yet so counterproductive to his own emotional well-being.
Saul did kill himself. The man lied hoping to find favor in David. 1. He lied. 2. He was an Amalekite. 3. David even didn't kill Saul, he left Saul in GOD's hand. All David knew (by the man's own words) was an Amalekite killed Saul.
Yes. The man was hoping David would reward him for killing the king, but of course David had him killed for killing God's anointed king. He lied for brownie points😂
Saul was wounded first by the philistines, then asked his amorbearer to kill him but he denied then laid his sword down and fell upon it killing himself… hope that Helps
When Samuel (the Earth) was old, i.e., when winter came on, he made his two sons, Joel (Elijah = the Sun in Aries), the first-born, and Abiah (his father is Jah, or the summer = the fall equinox), i.e., the two equinoxes; the first being born, as the name indicates, when the Sun enters Aries; the last when the Sun enters Libra, six months later, where the father was at the birth of the elder. They were judges in Beer-sheba (the seventh month, the Sun being in Libra). These sons walked not in the ways of their father, "but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes (the crops) and perverted judgment," that is departed from the fall equinox, the place of judgment (8.3), and winter followed. This, as it is always sure to do, displeased the people; and they asked of Samuel a king. At this Samuel, in his turn, was displeased, for he, as the earth, or nature always is, was on the side of the people. So, Samuel prayed to the Lord (summer) for help. The Lord, however, told Samuel to hearken to the people; for says he, "they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me" (v8.7), i.e., they were still on the earth though they had left the summer hemisphere. "Appoint them a king, yet protest solemnly (the weather was growing colder) unto them, and shew them the manner of the king (the winter Sun) that shall rule over them" (8.9). Samuel' protested, as the Lord had directed, but the people said: "Nay, but we will have a king over us" (8.19). Though fairly warned by Samuel, and in time, the people would not rest, as it ever has been, and is still the case; but would have a king, come what might. So, Samuel (the earth) made Saul, Sheol, Hades, Hell, or the pit (winter solstice) a Benjamite (i.e., one related to Benjamin, or the Sun in Libra, because in quartile aspect with him), king, i.e., the earth came in conjunction with Cancer, the Sun being in Capricorn.
David had already fought and killed men before what happened to the 'messenger'. I'm not saying this killing is not important but he had already crossed the 'Rubicon'. This may have been an illegal killing but that wasn't the point of the scripture given here.
Man someone's gotta help me. If 2 Samuel 1 is a recap of 1 Samuel 31 but from David's perspective, then why isn't it being paid to be consistent. Cause in 1 Sam 31, Saul kamikazes himself with his sword, but in 2 Sam 1, someone else kamikazes Saul with a spear. Either that or it was someone else but Saul (but the guy who said he deleted Saul had his crown with him before he got deleted by David, so im not sure) or maybe its my lack of sleep catching up to me. Also, the video is not 5 minutes :OOOOOOO You're cancelled mister!! hehehe
Glory to God!!
#2BeLikeChrist has been a blessing 🙌🏽 We are sharing daily into 2025
Glad you are back, missed your 5 minute Bible Study
Good to be back :)
God has mercy on who he has mercy. When you read Psalms you will see how tender hearted David was. I imagine that’s why God gave him mercy many times.
YOOOO LET'S GO 2 SAMUEL 1❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥✝️✝️✝️

Why isn’t Jasher in the Bible? Especially when God refers to it?
Thanks for all the help. 😊
I'm confused... Didn't Saul kill himself when he fell on his sword?
Saul did kill himself. The man lied hoping to find favor in David. 1. He lied. 2. He was an Amalekite. 3. David even didn't kill Saul, he left Saul in GOD's hand. All David knew (by the man's own words) was an Amalekite killed Saul.

Hey man, love your posts on your Website. Do you really do them yourself? They seem like they are in high quality. I cant wait for more Videos!
Hi! Yes, I make them each day as I study through the text. Thanks for the encouragement :)
I think the young man wanted to score David's trust/favor by saying he killed Saul🤔
❤❤❤❤
So David didn't promise not to kill him for him telling what happened
David had already fought and killed men before what happened to the 'messenger'. I'm not saying this killing is not important but he had already crossed the 'Rubicon'. This may have been an illegal killing but that wasn't the point of the scripture given here.
The young Amalekite reported his own death 😂

The man lies about killing Saul to get favor from David.
