2 Samuel 9-10
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 9: Restoration of the Land of Saul
David decides
that he wants to honor Jonathan for being his friend and decides to restore the
land that once belonged to Saul, to his family. So Saul calls for a search of the
family of Saul, they (his servants) find out that Jonathan's son is still alive
and he brought before the king. Mephibosheth was Jontathan's son and he was given
Ziba as his servant, eating at the kings table and eating the kings bread he was
honored.
Chapter 10: Israel Defeats: Amonites and the
Syrians
The king
of the people of Ammon dies and King David decides to send his comfort to the new king, Ammon's son.
The new king was named Hanun and when the messengers of comfort and peace came into
the land of Ammon, the people of Ammon begin to tell Hanun that Daivd is sending
"comforters" who really are spies to spy out the city. So Hanun has the
servants humiliated. The servants come back to David and tell him what has happened.
David responds by defeating the armies of Ammon and the Syrians who were helping
them. Although the Syrians decided to back off before they were really defeated,
for fear of Israel.
