Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with David's

lament over Saul as we pick up in 2 Samuel chapter 1 verse 15 and now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck. Actually when the men came back from the war with the victories and all the young girls would get their

tambourings and they would come out in their dances and they would go through their dances praising the men for their battle and their valor and their victories and all.

And David could see the celebrations in his mind that were going on in these

Philistine cities because this mighty man saw and this beloved friend

Jonathan were slain and so he's crying out, don't publish it in Gath, don't publish it in Ashgalon,

lest the daughters of the Philistines come out in their dances and they rejoice and all.

And then he turned to the Mount Gilboa where Saul fell, he said ye mountains of Gilboa

let there be no do neither let there be rain upon you nor fields of offerings. For there the shield of the mighty is

virally cast away in the shield of Saul and though as though he had not been anointed with oil.

From the blood of the slain and from the fat of the mighty,

the bow of Jonathan turned not back and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
