Jude Sat Dec 09, 2017 3:08 am

1And Sovereign Dawiḏ was old, advanced in years. And they covered him with garments, but he could not get warm.

2So his servants said to him, “Let them seek for our master the sovereign a young woman, a maiden, and she shall stand before the sovereign and be his companion, and shall lie in your bosom, so that our master the sovereign gets warm.”

3And they sought for a lovely young woman in all the border of Yisra’ĕl, and found Aḇishag̅ the Shunammite, and brought her to the sovereign.

4And the young woman was very lovely. And she was a companion for the sovereign, and served him, but the sovereign did not know her. 1 KINGS 1:1-4 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. 1 KINGS 1:1-4 King James Version - KJV

1 3 Abishag keepeth David in his extreme age. 5 Adonijah usurpeth the kingdom. 30 Solomon is anointed king, 50 Adonijah fleeth to the altar.

1 Now when King David was [a]old, and stricken in years, they covered him with clothes, but no [b]heat came unto him.
2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her [c]stand before the king, and cherish him: and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the King may get heat.
3 So they sought for a fair young maid throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found one Abishag [d]a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 And the maid was exceedingly fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not. 1 KINGS 1:1-4 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
1The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of Ěl; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hand.

2Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

3There is no speech, and there are no words, Their voice is not heard.

4Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun,

5And it is like a bridegroom coming out of his room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.

6Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.

7The Torah of יהוה is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה is trustworthy, making wise the simple;

8The orders of יהוה are straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of יהוה is clear, enlightening the eyes;

9The fear of יהוה is clean, standing forever; The right-rulings of יהוה are true, They are righteous altogether,

10More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

11Also, Your servant is warned by them, In guarding them there is great reward.

12Who discerns mistakes? Declare me innocent from those that are secret,

13Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me. Then shall I be perfect, and innocent of great transgression.

14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing before You, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer. PSALM 19 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
