Day 6 - Friday - Today's Scripture Lesson - NKJV, Logos

 By: Rev. Lynwood F. Mundy

1 Samuel 18:5-9

So David went out wherever Saul sent him and (Or prospered) behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and in the sight of Saul’s servants. 

6 Now it had happened as they were coming home when David was returning from the slaughter of the (Philistines) Philistine, that (Ex. 15:20, 21; Judg. 11:34; Ps. 68:25; 149:3) the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments. 

7 So the women (Ex. 15:21) sang as they danced, and said:

(1 Sam. 21:11; 29:5) “Saul has slain his thousands,

And David his ten thousands.”

8 Then Saul was furious, and the saying (Eccl. 4:4) displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me, they have ascribed only thousands. Now, what more can he have but (1 Sam. 15:28) the kingdom?” 

9 So Saul (Viewed with suspicion) eyed David from that day forward.

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem.
