Today is the 26th day of May. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian, it is great

to be here with you today. Here in the beautiful, lovely, rolling hills of Tennessee, as things

warm up and become beautiful and lush everywhere. And I trust that it is beautiful and lovely,

wherever you may be. Here at the Global Campfire it's always kind of the same, we always have a place,

the fires always crackling, we can find our place, find this oasis of serenity, and simply let go of

the cares of this life for a minute. We can go back and collect whatever we want, but for a minute,

we have this oasis to allow God's Word to speak into our lives. And so let's dive in.

In the Old Testament, we are witnessing David's reign now. We've moved through quite a bit of David's

life and how he became the king and he is the king now and is very, very much establishing himself.

In the regions all around him, and so we will continue with that story. Today,

second Samuel, chapters 9, 10, and 11.

David said,

Is anyone from Saul's family still around that I could honor for the sake of my friend Jonathan?

One servant from Saul's household, Ziba, who was still alive and they brought him to King David.

David said, are you Ziba? And Ziba said, at your service, majesty.

And David said, is anyone from Saul's family still alive to whom I could show the kindness of God?

And Ziba said,

Jonathan has a son who is still alive, he is crippled, unable to use his feet.

And David said, where is he? Ziba said, he lives with Makir son of Amio at Lodibar.

David sent for Jonathan's son, Mifibbashath, and had him brought to Jerusalem from the house of Makir,

son of Amio in Lodibar. When he arrived, Mifibbashath son of Jonathan,

grandson of Saul laid face down on the floor and honored the king.
