A Certain Someone

The Words of
Jesus the Christ,
the Son of God:

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, the LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.-Luke 20:41-21:4***Jesse was the father of David. David's mother is not identified in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible. King Saul was the 1st king to rule over the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. At least twice, Saul disobeyed the commands of the Lord God. The Lord God rejected Saul from reigning, and the Lord God sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, to anoint David to reign as king. After Saul's self-inflicted death on the battlefield, 30-year-old David began to reign only over the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Judah, the tribe of David's birth. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. After Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders journeyed to David, and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed David, and 37-year-old David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Amnon, the son born to David and Ahinoam, raped Tamar, the daughter born to David and Maacah. Absalom, the son born to David and Maacah, was responsible for Amnon's death. Years thereafter, Absalom had himself proclaimed king while David still reigned, and Absalom was killed. Adonijah, the son born to David and Haggith, proclaimed himself king when David was elderly and still reigning. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. The 1st child born to David and Bathsheba died, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the actions involved in David's relationship with Bathsheba and David's responsibility for the death of Bathsheba's husband  Uriah. After Adonijah went to Bathsheba and made a specific request, Solomon became responsible for Adonijah's death. Notably, David had many wives, concubines, sons, and daughters, and Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines and a multitude of children. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city, and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city, and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. The northern nation was always ruled by murderers and idolaters. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. David's descendants ruled Judah,  except for the 6-year reign of Athaliah. Rehoboam's son Abijam (Abijah), the 2nd king to rule Judah, did not worship the Lord God. Abijah's son Asa, the 3rd king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. Asa's son Jehoshaphat, the 4th king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. Jehoshaphat's son Joram (Jehoram), the 5th king to rule Judah, did not worship the Lord God. Joram and Athaliah's son Ahaziah, the 6th king to rule Judah, did not worship the Lord God. Jehoash (Joash), the son born to Ahaziah and Zibiah, was the 7th king to rule Judah. After the death of 130-year-old Jehoiada the priest, Jehoash became an idolater. Amaziah, the son born to Jehoash and Jehoaddan, was the 8th king to rule Judah. After Amaziah defeated the Edomites, the descendants of Jacob's older fraternal twin brother Esau (Edom), Amaziah became an idolater. Uzziah (Azariah), the son born to Amaziah and Jecholiah, was the 9th king to rule Judah. Uzziah worshiped the Lord God. Jotham, the son born to Uzziah and Jerushah, was the 10th king to rule Judah. Jotham worshiped the Lord God. Jotham's son Ahaz, the 11th king to rule Judah, did not worship the Lord God. Hezekiah, the son born to Ahaz and Abi (Abijah), was the 12th king to rule Judah. Hezekiah worshiped the Lord God, and among Judah's kings, Hezekiah's trust in the Lord God was unparalleled. Manasseh, the son born to Hezekiah and Hephzibah, was the 13th king to rule Judah. Manasseh did not worship the Lord God, and Manasseh's wickedness was unparalleled. Amon, the son born to Manasseh and Meshullemeth, was the 14th king to rule Judah. Amon did not worship the Lord God. Josiah, the son born to Amon and Jedidah, was the 15th king to rule Judah. Josiah worshiped the Lord God. Jehoahaz, the son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 16th king to rule Judah. Jehoahaz did not worship the Lord God. Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the son born to Josiah and Zebudah, was the 17th king to rule Judah. Jehoiakim did not worship the Lord God. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Josiah and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. Jehoiachin did not worship the Lord God. Zedekiah (Mattaniah), another son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 19th and last king to rule Judah. Zedekiah did not worship the Lord God. Over 500 years after the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness 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, the Son of David, was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told  specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, including some scribes. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was  arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-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, 23:1-24:23, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
