Now I Know

Psalm  20


The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: The LORD fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.-Psalm 20:1-9/the complete psalm***When Samuel the priest, prophet and judge was old, he placed his sons Joel and Abijah (Vashni and Abiah) as judges to lead the Israelites in the Promised Land. Joel and Abijah were corrupt, and the Israelite elders demanded that Samuel set a king to govern them. After the Lord God spoke to Samuel and gave Samuel words of warning to speak to the Israelites, the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, to reign as king. When Saul publicly addressed the Israelites in Gilgal, Samuel proclaimed the Lord God to be their king. While reigning, Saul disobeyed the commands of the Lord God. Thus the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David, from the tribe of Judah, to reign as king. David killed Goliath the gigantic Philistine, and worked for Saul, and was commander over 1,000 troops, and lived on the run from Saul. After Saul's self-inflicted death on the battlefield, 30-year-old David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. After Ishbosheth was murdered, David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. Moreover, David was a psalmist and is identified as a man after God's own heart and as the divinely inspired writer of Psalm 20. Over 900 years after 70-year-old David died and his body was buried in the City of David, 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 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 17:14-20, 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 1:1-2:12, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, Psalm 20, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 13:1-52
