From the commentary: The rest of the chapter is about the family of Saul, who was Israel’s first
king. He was the son of Kish. Jonathan’s son was Merib-Baal. Merib-Baal was
another name for Mephibosheth. This list shows the family of Saul until about
the time of the exile in Babylon.
The purpose of this list is to mention the story of Saul briefly,
in order to introduce David. David’s rule as king is the main subject for the
rest of 1 Chronicles.
Yesterday started out ok, but rapidly went downhill. "Special" projects and a vindictive indivual made my life miserable the rest of the day torturous. Still what made it true to me was the ride home, the song that happened to be playing was "What ever doesn't kill you will make you stronger" . How true... Still we'll see how this plays out. Can't say but I do trust in the Lord. On a different note, caught up with OUAT and saw the Rangers play nearly two games last night as (after I was asleep) won in 3OTs. Also a rare time when I root for the Braves as they came from behind to beat the Sillies. Meanwhile, the Mets got swept in Houston, go figure. Glad to hear about Clay's mom and her recovery.
Praise for today: The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Ps 121: 7-8
