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.





“Imitemos o coração de Jesus, especialmente na dor, e assim nos conformaremos cada vez mais e mais com este coração divino para que, um dia, lá em cima no Céu, também nós possamos glorificar o Pai celeste ao lado daquele que tanto sofreu”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
