Today's reading 2 Samuel 1
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 2Samuel 1

2 Samuel 1
In verse 1-15, A messenger who was an Amakelite came to give David the news of Saul's death. David hears of Saul's death. (2Samuel 1.4-12; 1Samuel 31.1-13; 1Chronicles 10.1-12). The Amakelite lied to David because he expected David to reard him. David, instead ordered his death. He had still viewed Saul as the Lord's anointed (verse 14) . He had all the opportunities to kill Saul but he had not, instead he left it in God's hand. In verse 17-26, He mourned over Saul and his good friend Jonathan.

Arthur Pink Life of David on 2Samuel 1

Application:
Saul's life had a promising start, but it went spiraling downhill, when he harbored jealousy, murder in his heart for David. This is a wasted life. We need to learn for m Saul because if we keep evil thoughts in our hearts and do not deal with it it can conceive into actions. We need to confess them to the Lord.
