Scripture Readings:
- Old Testament: 2 Samuel 21:1-21:22
- Poetry/Prophecy: Jeremiah 52:1-52:34
- New Testament: 2 Corinthians 2:1-2:17
In 2 Samuel, a famine occurs in the land. The reason: God is punishing the land because of Saul’s violation of a treaty with the Gibeonites. To set this right, David allows the Gibeonites to execute seven of Saul’s grandchildren. Also, we read about further fighting between the Israelites and the Philistines. More giants, more relatives of Goliath, more Israelite conquest.
We conclude the book of Jeremiah with a history of the exile of Judah to Babylon.
And in 2 Corinthains, Paul talks of the conflict and sadness that has transpired between him and his readers but reaffirms his ministry as a true apostle.
