4:10. “when someone told me, saying, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ thinking to have brought good news, I arrested him and had him executed in Ziklag — the one who [thought] I would give him a reward for [his] news.
4:11. “How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his bed? Therefore, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?”
4:12. So David commanded his young men, and they executed them, cut off their hands and feet, and hanged [them] by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried [it] in the tomb of Abner in Hebron.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 19TH JULY 2025.
Our text today presents us with the unexpected outcome of the actions of Rechab and Baanah in killing Ishboseth and cutting off his head. Both of them perceived that David had been prepared by God to be king over all Israel. But David was shocked and disappointed that these people could go that length to show their support for him to become king.
He considered their action a sin against God. David did not see bloodshed as a proper approach to gaining the throne. When he had an earlier opportunity of murdering Saul, he had held back. He would not kill to seize authority, Rechab and Baanah met the greatest disappointment of their lives as the king sentenced them to death. They thought of they were helping David to the throne but ended up losing their own lives.
God alone was enough to bring David to the throne his own way. Beloved, you are expected to prayerfully watch your actions. No one can help God. He is sufficiently able to do great things for you, without any form of manipulations.
What seems right or acceptable before men could be an abomination before the Lord. The counsel of the Lord shall definitely stand. God’s ways are not your ways. When you do God’s work in line with his Word and leading, you will have peace, fulfilment and joy.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to do your work your own way in Jesus’ Name!
