...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed.

Job Descriptions

And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah: And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's. Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons: And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion: And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab.-1 Chronicles 27:25-34***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that David went from being a shepherd, to being anointed to reign as king, to working as a musician and an armor-bearer for King Saul, the reigning ruler, to being the slayer of Goliath the gigantic Philistine, to being captain over 1,000 soldiers, to being married to Michal and Abigail and Ahinoam, to being on the run from Saul, to being the leader of a multitude of men, to living with Abigail, Ahinoam, a multitude of followers and their families in Ziklag among the Philistines, to being king only over the tribe of Judah after Saul's self-inflicted death on the battlefield, to being king over all of the Israelite tribes. Absalom was the son born to David and Maacah. Ahithophel eventually left David and joined Absalom, who had himself proclaimed king while David reigned. David prayed and made a request to the Lord God. Meanwhile, David's adviser Ahithophel advised Absalom regarding David's concubines. Ahithophel wanted to be allowed to put together a huge troop and kill David. However, Absalom and those on Absalom's side did not heed Ahitophel's suggestion. Instead, the advice of Hushai was followed by Absalom, without Absalom knowing that Hushai was secretly working for David, and Ahithophel ended his own life. Jonathan and Joab were David's close relatives, and Abiathar was a priest. Jonathan, Joab and Abiathar were in David's life before David reigned as king. When Absalom turned against David, Abiathar and Joab stayed on David's side. When David was old and still reigning, Adonijah, the son born to David and Haggith, worked to proclaim himself king. Abiathar and Joab left David and went to Adonijah. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of David and his descendants, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
