1 Samuel 14:1-52
John 7:31-53
Psalm 109:1-31
Proverbs 15:5-7

I Samuel 14:3 – The High Priest’s Uncle Ichabod – we’ve met him earlier.

I Samuel 14:6 – This is an incredible verse – The King’s son decides to go rogue. He invites his bodyguard and the bodyguard isn’t afraid to die (I Samuel 14:7). Is it faith in the LORD or just loyalty to his liege? Maybe just the later but the bodyguard would see how God would provide! Can God provide? Let’s look up some cross references on I Samuel 14:6.

I Samuel 14:24 – While Saul had good intentions, his actions made it easier for Israel to commit a worse sin (I Samuel 14:32). We’ve seen earlier that eating blood was forbidden for the Israelites!

John 7:45 – Why have ye not brought him? Jesus is superior to the plans and schemes of man. He willingly laid down His life.

Psalm 109:22 – Deliverance is available only to those who acknowledge they are poor and needy.

Psalm 109:27 – Deliverance is soli deo gloria!

Proverbs 15:6 – True treasure is found in the house of the righteous!
