1 Samuel 14:24 Legal restrictions that were quite unnecessary.

1 Samuel 14:25-29 Honey: the sweetness of natural things—to be used in moderation but forbidden by the legalist. Jonathan takes the honey on the end of the pilgrim’s rod and is strengthened thereby.

1 Samuel 14:32 Self-indulgence the result of legal asceticism—See Colossians 3:1-25. License the fruit of legality.

1 Samuel 14:41 [after Israel] There is an omission here in the Hebrew text, owing to a scribe’s blunder: “Lord God, give Thou judgment why it is that Thou answerest me not today. If this iniquity be in me, or in Jonathan my son, give Urim; or if this iniquity be in Thy people Israel, give Thummim.”

1 Samuel 17:51 Destroyed him that had the power of death.

1 Samuel 18:1 Jonathan’s heart won for David who had taken his place and slain him that had the power of death.

1 Samuel 18:4 Jonathan strips himself for David. Compare with Paul in Php 3:1-21, “What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.” See 1 Samuel 19:2.

1 Samuel 21:13 What a condition and position for a man of faith!

1 Samuel 22:1 The rejected one as the center of gathering. Jonathan not seen in this company, but see 1 Samuel 23:16.

1 Samuel 23:16 Jonathan’s last visit with David. He returns to his “high places” while David is in rejection.

1 Samuel 24:6 Saul is recognized by David as Messiah of Jehovah! He was still the Lord’s Anointed.

1 Samuel 25:9 Compare “in My Name” in John 14:1-31; John 15:1-27; John 16:1-33.

1 Samuel 17:1 Yet God was caring for David in a marvelous way at this very time.

1 Samuel 27:10 What a position for the man after God’s own heart to occupy!

1 Samuel 29:1-11 What a position for the anointed king of Israel! The result of unbelief.

1 Samuel 30:13 Egypt: the world. Amalek: the lusts of the flesh.

1 Samuel 30:21 “Good news” or “cold water.” “As good news from a far country.”

2 Samuel 2 Samuel 1:8 Saul spared some of Amalek and suffered indignity at the hands of an Amalekite at the end.

2 Samuel 1:25-26 Jonathan lacked “one thing.” He loved David but he did not fully share his rejection.

2 Samuel 11:1-2 Slothfulness preceded David’s fearful fall.

2 Samuel 11:8 Attempting to cover up his sin.

2 Samuel 11:9 Uriah’s devotedness.

2 Samuel 12:5 Easy to become indignant over the supposed wrongdoing of another while covering one’s own sin!

2 Samuel 12:11 Governmental consequences that confession could not turn aside.

2 Samuel 13:1-39 The awful effects of David’s sin manifested in his own household.

2 Samuel 13:31 Bitter reaping.

2 Samuel 15:7 After forty years—i.e., after he was forty years old.

Rank hypocrisy!

2 Samuel 16:3 Misrepresentation of Mephibosheth’s motives.

2 Samuel 16:6-8 God himself said that David was a man of blood—but it was in righteousness. See 1 Chronicles 22:8.

2 Samuel 17:1-29 Ahithophel’s opportunity for revenge. He was the grandfather of Bath-sheba. See 1 Chronicles 3:5—and connect with 2 Samuel 15:12.

2 Samuel 17:23 Prototype of Judas, the son of perdition.

2 Samuel 17:27 Machir. He who had protected Mephibosheth is now loyal to David.

2 Samuel 18:22 Running unsent.

2 Samuel 19:9-15 BRINGING BACK THE KING! In the king’s absence confusion reigns. While God’s Anointed is rejected man’s efforts to put things to rights are doomed to failure. We see this today in the world which needs a competent ruler. Connect with the parable of the rejected kingdom in Luke 19:12.

2 Samuel 19:14 The king awaits the invitation of all his own to return.

2 Samuel 19:37 Tradition says that Chimham was the owner of the inn at Bethlehem, where hundreds of years later the Lord was born. See 1 Kings 2:7; Jeremiah 41:17.

2 Samuel 20:9 A Judas kiss. Amasa was Joab’s cousin (2 Samuel 17:25), probably illegitimate. 1 Chronicles 2:16.

2 Samuel 23:8-39 The honor roll. Joab not in the list.

2 Samuel 23:39 Uriah honored by God though cruelly wronged by David.

2 Samuel 24:3 A carnal man shows more good sense than the man after God’s own heart.

1 Kings A period of 108 years (Usher) B.C. 1015-897. In Kings man attempts to rule and is ever a failure. In Chronicles God overrules all in view of Messiah’s Kingdom.

1 Kings 8:3-8 That which was but temporary and for the wilderness merged into what was settled and in the land. The only piece of furniture that belonged to the Tabernacle which was not replaced in the Temple by a new piece. No need for staves now: the Ark at rest at last.

1 Kings 8:10-11 The cloud of glory—typical of the Holy Spirit— taking possession of the material Temple—as the Spirit took possession of the spiritual temple in Acts 2:1-47.
