Today's Reading - May 24, 2010

2 Samuel 4:1-6:23
John 13:31-14:14
Psalm 119:17-32
Proverbs 15:31-32


Question of the day: Why did the Jebusites think that they were safe, as it says in 2 Samuel 5:6?

Jerusalem was a heavily fortified city with many towers. Many armies had attempted to take it over, with no success. Therefore they had no fear that the Israelites would be able to overtake it. And in fact, militarily, David's strategy was a surprise attack through the city's water tunnel, since they could not breach the walls.
