Brinny,
We are not told what this shedding of innocent blood means but it sounds like human sacrifice to me.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however,

First Book of Chronicles Chapters 1 to 9
The first nine chapters are all genealogies. Chapter 1 starts with Adam.
Chapter 2 starts with the sons of Israel.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulum, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
I believe that the purpose of all these genealologies is so that Jews can trace their ancestry back to Adam.

What i noticed is that it was particularly abominable to God, which would be an entirely different category of the regular shedding of blood, which IS forgivable....
interesting study...

Yes, it's like a history account written and recorded by God Himself, isn't it? Written and recorded through His servants who recorded it in obedience to Him.

Brinny,
The First Book of Chronicles seems to be a retelling of the lives and stories of the kings of Isreal.

what a death for Saul.....
then they put Saul's head in the temple of Dagon
(it's tragic and sad that Jonathan was killed.....makes me wonder if he should've been fighting alongside his corrupt and demented father, Saul)

1 Chrionicles Chapter 11
All Israel wanted David to be King of Israel.
Davids first act was to conquer the Castle of Zion (verse 5).
David said the first man to smite the Jebusites at Castle Zion shall be chief and captain.
Joab was the first and became chief (verse 6).
David lived in the Castle of Zion. That is why it is called the city of David (verse 7)
Around the Castle of Zion David built a city (verse 8)
Brinny,
We learned in this chapter why Jerusalem is called the City of Zion.
Brinny we learned in this chapter how Joab became David's captain. Joab stayed loyal to David unto David's death. I dont recall Joab ever losing a battle. Joab became a mighty man of war.

1 Chronicles Chapter 11
David was trying to to get the Philistines out of Bethlehem (verse 17)
David said that he wanted to drink water from the well in Bethlehem.
Three warriors led an attack and got David water from the well at Bethlehem.
These three warriors became know at the three mightiest (verse 19).
But David would not drink it because the three mightiest had risked their lives to get it (verse 18).

Brinny,
Do you think this is where the idea for the Three Musketeers came from ?

Interesting...they WERE swordsmen, weren't they? AND mighty men of valor, and that was quite a feat, wasn't it? The Three Musketeers? Interesting concept
By the way, it indicates how beloved David was amongst these three mighty men and all of his men, doesn't it, for them to of their own volition, to do this for him, doesn't it?

1 Chronicles Chapter 12
This chapter gives the details of how many men each tribe contributed to David'd army. As Christians I dont think it is important for us to know the detailed breakdown of Davids army.

Brinny,
I have no biblical reason to connect the three musketeers and the three mighties. I just wonder if someone might have thought that the three mighties would make a good TV series, and also put them in a more modern setting.

THIS was sooooo difficult for me...i was very much like David was, kinda' shocked and not understanding why there was such a severe punishment for trying to keep the Ark from falling.....
This is a deeep chapter.....it requires a shovel here for me, because there's sooo much more going on than just the way it all appears on the surface....

I was told many years ago the there was an official way to transport the ark and putting it on a cart was not the recommend method of transportation.
