Jude Sat Dec 09, 2017 3:00 am

2And it came to be on the third day, that see, a man came out of the camp from Sha’ul with his garments torn and dust on his head. And it came to be, when he came to Dawiḏ, that he fell to the ground and did obeisance.

3And Dawiḏ said to him, “From where do you come?” And he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Yisra’ĕl.”

4And Dawiḏ said to him, “What was the matter? Please inform me.” And he said, “The people have fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Sha’ul and Yehonathan his son are dead too.”

5And Dawiḏ said to the young man who informed him, “How do you know that Sha’ul and Yehonathan his son are dead?”

6And the young man who informed him said, “By chance I was on Mount Gilboa and saw Sha’ul leaning on his spear. And see, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 2 SAMUEL 1:2-6 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 2 SAMUEL 1:2-6 King James Version - KJV

2 Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with [a]his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and when he came to David, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 Then David said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped.
4 And David said unto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battle, and many of the people are overthrown, and dead, and also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 And David said unto the young man that told it him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6 Then the young man that told him, answered, [b]As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear, and lo, the chariots and [c]horsemen followed hard after him. 2 SAMUEL 1:2-6 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS
1Hear righteousness, יהוה, Listen to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, From lips without deceit.

2Let my right-ruling go out from Your presence; Let Your eyes see what is straight.

3You have examined my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me – You find I have not schemed; My mouth would not transgress.

4As for the deeds of men – By the word of Your lips, I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer.

5My steps have held fast to Your paths, My feet have not slipped.

6I have called upon You, for You answer me, O Ěl; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

7Let Your kindness be distinguished, You who save by Your right hand those who take refuge From those who rise up.

8Guard me as the apple of Your eye. Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

9From the face of the wrong who ravage me, From my deadly enemies who surround me.

10They are enclosed in their own fat, They speak proudly with their mouths,

11They have now surrounded us in our steps, They set their eyes to cast us to the ground,

12Like a lion who is eager to tear his prey, And as a young lion crouching in cover.

13Arise, O יהוה, Confront him, cause him to bend; Deliver my being from the wrong by Your sword,

14From men by Your hand, O יהוה, From men of the world whose portion is in this life, And You fill their bellies with Your treasure, They are satisfied with children, And shall leave their riches to their babes.

15As for me, let Me see Your face in righteousness; I am satisfied to see Your appearance when I awake. PSALM 17 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
