Top Highlights
“The story of King Saul is one of the great tragedies of the Bible. He was humble at his beginning, yet seeming to lack any genuine spiritual connection with God, he was easily and quickly corrupted by pride and fear. Saul becomes a tragic example of wasted potential.” (1 Chronicles 10:13–14)
“It is only good news when it is His salvation. My salvation isn’t enough to save me. I need His salvation to save me” (1 Chronicles 16:23–30)
“In fact, David’s altar was the only one in pre-exilic times which God explicitly commanded to be built” (1 Chronicles 21:16–19)
“David knew that he had to expose himself to the chastisement of God” (1 Chronicles 21:13)
“That David kept such a small number shows remarkable self-control and trust in God. David obeyed the principle of Deuteronomy 17:15–16 and absolutely refused to trust in horses as military weapons. His trust was in God instead (Psalm 20:7 and 33:16–17).” (1 Chronicles 18:3–8)
