Sunday Sermonette: Last last words
You may recall that 2 Samuel 23 presented what purported to be David ' s last words, but he has had many more words to say since then and now we get what really are his last words since he in fact dies immediately after saying them. They consist of a hit list, including Shimei who David had previously promised not to kill. Well, he kept his word I guess, David had Solomon do the murder. (Shimei had called David names and thrown rocks at him in 2 Samuel 16.) BTW that David ruled for 40 years shouldn ' t surprise us since everything in the Bible seems to last 40 years. The Israelites wandered in the desert eating manna ...

Sunday Sermonette: You didn't really expect it to make any sense, did you?
With Chapter 24 we come to the end of the Book of Samuel. The division seems arbitrary -- David is still around for the first couple of chapters of Kings. I suspect it has to do with the conventional length of a scroll rather than any literary consideration. In any event, this chapter is completely incoherent.God is angry at Israel for no apparent reason, so he orders David to take a census, which is somehow supposed to be a punishment? Note that Moses took several censuses, in fact that is the reason for the title of the Book of Numbers, in which there are three. Saul also took a census. This was never any problem. Anyway...

Sunday Sermonette: Yet more of that good old Biblical morality
We ' re getting to the end of Samuel: just four more chapters after this. But it doesn ' t get any less ugly. In this chapter David shuts his concubines up in the house because they ' ve been raped. I don ' t know if they ' re particularly put out that he doesn ' t have sex with them, but the idea is that women who have been raped are spoiled. Since these women are already slaves, however, it ' s not that big of a change in status. There ' s yet another rebellion, but this one seems to depend entirely on the individual who incites it. Once they get rid of him, they ' re all set. And Amasa gets murdered in a very cowa...

Wednesday Bible Study: The Return of the King
But unlike Tolkein, it ' s not the triumph of good over evil. I wouldn ' t want any of these assholes for a king. This chapter is confusing, and it has a couple of sub-plots of no particular relevance. As usual, the scribe has evidently cobbled together material from various sources without much concern for continuity. This begins with David mourning Absalom and quite evidently not giving a shit about the army that brought him victory. So Joab sets him straight and tells him to stop his whining and accept his responsibility. 19 It was told Jo ′ab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Ab′salom.”2&...

130 Focus on Yourself Quotes for Self Empowerment and Self Care
One common mistake that's often based in kindness and in love is to focus too much on what you can give to your world and the people in it.
And so you give and give. At work. In your personal life.
It's helpful and kind for sure. But also unbalanced if you forget about yourself and what you need and want in your life.
Because that part is absolutely essential to be able to help and to share your own gifts with the world in the longer time-perspective.
So in this post I’d like to share 130 of the most powerful focus on yourself quotes. To help you help yourself and to not get lost in what others want, in unhappiness and p...

Wednesday Bible Study: Pretzel Logic
Chapter 17 features David ' s spy Hushai giving what is purported to be bad advice to Absalom, which God causes Absalom to accept because God has evidently decided to give the kingdom back to David. Well okay but Ahithophel ' s advice is to attack with 12,000 men, whereas Hushai ' s advice is to attack with the entire army, which is evidently much larger. Why an attack with a larger force will fail, whereas an attack with a smaller force will succeed, is kind of hard to understand.Anyway Ahithophel thinks that Hushai ' s plan will fail, so he kills himself. There ' s a lot of detail about who is put in charge of what and t...

Sunday Sermonette: They don't teach this in Sunday school
And you aren ' t likely to hear a sermon preached on it either. Before we get to the really weird shit, a reminder that Mephibosheth is Jonathan ' s son and Saul ' s grandson, who was dropped by his nurse and made lame. David brought him to Jerusalem and gave him an estate. Mephibosheth ' s son is Micah, and apparently that ' s who David inquires after; but why Micah ' s defection to Absalom costs Mephibosheth is estate is not explained.The second incident is also a bit mysterious. David decides to put up with a guy cursing him and throwing rocks at his party. Basically, David says " Who cares, that ' s the least of our wo...

New Attempts to Change Arms Sales Policy, Same Old Problems
Jordan CohenUnited States Representatives Pramila Jayapal (D ‑WA) and Barbara Lee (D‑CA) recently introduced a resolution that calls for a massive change to U.S. foreign policy. Rather than focus on military tools such as troops, interoperability drills, and weapons sales, the representatives want one centered around diplomacy and cooperation.The legislation lacks specifics, but it raises interesting issues about weapons sales. It argues for a transformation in U.S. military aid and weapons transfers policy and says that these tools should only be for governments that are not corrupt and do not abuse hum...

Sunday Sermonette: A big misunderstanding
In Chapter 10, more than 47,000 Syrians get themselves killed, along with an undisclosed number of Ammonites, because of some minor stupidity. Reminds me of theWar of Jenkins Ear. Anyhow ---10 After this the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.2 And David said, “I will deal loyally with Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father dealt loyally with me.”This refers to a previously unmentioned incident. The only previous reference to Nahash was in 1 Samuel 11, while Saul was King, when Nahash threatened to gouge out the right eye of all the men of Jaeshgilead. Nice guy!So D...

It Is Good To See There Is Some Evidence That Telehealth Works Well And Is Safe.
This appeared last week: January 3, 2022 Telemedicine as Good as In-Person for Many Health Conditions: Review Dennis Thompson MONDAY, Jan. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Chatting with your doctor via video about your health issues works just as well as an in-person office visit, at least when it comes to managing chronic illnesses, a new review suggests. Replacing office visits with video checkups delivered results that were just as effective for patients being treated for conditions like diabetes, respiratory illnesses, chronic pain, heart problems and neurological disorders, researchers reported recently in the Annals of In...

Sunday Sermonette: War About Nothing
In 2 Samuel 2 we have, for the first time, and very briefly, the division of the Israelites into two kingdoms, Judah and Israel proper or the northern kingdom. This has previously been referred to anachronistically. I ' m going to give you a spoiler and tell you that in the next chapter, Abner decides it wasn ' t a good idea after all, but we get no explanation as to why he did it in the first place. That he had an heir to Saul handy who he could install on the throne is a problem since we are later told in Chronicles that all of Saul ' s house died with him. The point here is not be be a nit picker but again, just a remin...

Sunday Sermonette: Shaggy Dog Story Finally Ends
Years ago, when Saul spared the life of a single Amelekite, contrary to God ' s command to exterminate them, God told Saul that he no longer had God ' s favor and would no longer be king. But Saul went right on being king as though nothing had happened. He repeatedly tried to kill David but David repeatedly forgave him and declared fealty to Saul. Saul kept winning battles. The Amelekites returned from the dead only to be exterminated again, twice. Then Saul decided to hire a necromancer to resurrect Samuel, who told Saul that he would be killed because he failed to exterminate the Amelekites years before, even though in f...
