Daily Reflection - 12 August - 1 Kings 1:15-21

Jude Sat Jun 08, 2019 2:47 am

15And Bathsheḇa went into the room to the sovereign. Now the sovereign was very old, and Aḇishag̅ the Shunammite was serving the sovereign.

16And Bathsheḇa bowed and did obeisance to the sovereign. And the sovereign said, “What do you wish?”

17And she said to him, “My master, you swore by יהוה your Elohim to your female servant, saying, ‘Certainly, Shelomoh your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’

18“And now, look! Aḏoniyah has become sovereign. And now, my master the sovereign, you do not know about it.

19“And he has offered great numbers of bulls and fatlings and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the sovereign, and Eḇyathar the priest, and Yo’aḇ the commander of the army, but he did not invite Shelomoh your servant.

20“And you my master, O sovereign, the eyes of all Yisra’ĕl are on you, to declare to them who is going to sit on the throne of my master the sovereign after him.

21“Otherwise it shall be, when my master the sovereign rests with his fathers, that I and my son Shelomoh shall be considered sinners.” 1 KINGS 1:15-21 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.

16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the Lord thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:

19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders. 1 KINGS 1:15-21 King James Version - KJV

15 So Bathsheba went in unto the King into the chamber, and the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the King.

16 And Bathsheba bowed and made obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What is thy matter?

17 And she answered him, My lord, thou swearest by the Lord thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

18 And behold, now is Adonijah king, and now my lord, O King, thou knowest it not.

19 And he hath offered many oxen, and fat cattle, and sheep, and hath called all the sons of the King, and Abiathar the Priest, and Joab the Captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not bidden.

20 And thou, my lord, O King, knowest that the eyes of all Israel are on thee, that thou shouldest tell them, who should sit on the throne of my lord the King after him.

21 For else when my lord the King shall sleep with his fathers, I and my son Solomon shall be reputed vile.1 KINGS 1:15-21 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 Yahusha Messiah (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

1O Elohim, why do You forever reject us? Why does Your displeasure smoke Against the sheep of Your pasture?

2Remember Your congregation. You did purchase of old, The tribe of Your inheritance. You did redeem, This Mount Tsiyon where You have dwelt.

3Lift up Your steps to the endless ruins; The enemy has done all evil in the set-apart placea.

4Your adversaries have roared In the midst of Your meeting places; They have set up their own signs as signs.

5It seems as if one had lifted up Axes among the thick trees.

6And now all its carved work, They have broken down with axe and hammer.

7They have set fire to Your set-apart place, They have profaned the dwelling place of Your Name to the ground.

8They said in their hearts, “Let us suppress them altogether.” They burned all the meeting places of Ěl in the land.

9We do not see our signs, There is no longer a prophet, Nor any among us who knows how long.

10O Elohim, how long would the adversary reproach? Would the enemy despise Your Name forevera?

11Why do You hold back Your hand, even Your right hand? From the midst of Your bosom – end it!

12For Elohim is my Sovereign from of old, Working deliverance in the midst of the earth.

13You divided the sea by Your might; You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters.

14You broke the heads of Liwiathan in pieces, You made him food for the people Living in the wilderness.

15You did cleave open the fountain and the flood, You did dry up mighty rivers.

16The day is Yours, the night is Yours too, You have established the light and the sun.

17You have set all the borders of the earth, You have made summer and winter.

18Remember this: the enemy has reproached יהוה, And a foolish people has despised Your Namea.

19Do not give the being of Your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of Your afflicted ones forever.

20Look to the covenant, For the dark places of the earth are filled With haunts of violence.

21Let not the crushed one return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise Your Name.

22Arise, O Elohim, plead Your own cause, Remember how the foolish man reproaches You daily.

23Do not forget the voice of Your enemies, The uproar of those rising up against You increases continually. PSALM 74 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
