2 Samuel, 4

8. And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

Versículos relacionados com 2 Samuel, 4:

2 Samuel 4 describes the death of Is-Boste, the son of Saul, who had been proclaimed king of Israel after the death of his father. Two of the commanders of Is-Boste, Baaná and Recabe conspire against him and kill him as he rests in his home. Following are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:

Proverbs 26:27: "He who makes a pit will fall into it; if anyone rolls a stone, it will roll back over him." This verse highlights the idea that violence and conspiracy against others end up coming back against those who commit them, as was the case with Baaná and Recabe.

Psalm 55:23: "But you, O God, will come down to the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty men and deceivers will not live half of their days; but I trust you." This verse talks about trust in God to deal with those who are violent and misleading, such as the killers of Is-Boste.

Proverbs 21:30: "There is no wisdom, no intelligence, no advice against the Lord." This verse highlights God's sovereignty over all things and the futility of those who conspire against God's plans.

Psalm 31:15: "In your hands are my days; deliver me from the hands of my enemies and those who persecute me." This verse expresses confidence in God to protect those who are persecuted and attacked by their enemies, something that Is-Boste would certainly have desired.

Proverbs 24:17: "Do not be happy when your enemy falls; your heart is not rejoiced when he stumbles." This verse warns against joy at the misfortune of others and highlights the importance of empathy, even in relation to enemies.





“O Senhor sempre orienta e chama; mas não se quer segui-lo e responder-lhe, pois só se vê os próprios interesses. Às vezes, pelo fato de se ouvir sempre a Sua voz, ninguém mais se apercebe dela; mas o Senhor ilumina e chama. São os homens que se colocam na posição de não conseguir mais escutar.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
