About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

1 Samuel 22:1-23 Doeg Tells King Saul Where David is Hiding

 

Doeg Tells King Saul Where David is Hiding

  1 Samuel 22:1-23                The Book of 1 Samuel [in Smaller Chunks]

Therefore, David departed from [there] & escaped to the cave Adullam & when his brethren & his father’s [family] heard it, they went down [there] to him. Everyone [who] was in distress, in debt, [or] discontented, gathered [with David.]

He became a captain over them & there were about 400 men with him. And David [then] went to Mizpeh of Moab & he said to the king of Moab, I pray [that] you let my mother & father [please stay here] & be with you [until] I know what God will do for me. And [David] brought them [in front of] the [Moab’s] king.

They [stayed] with the [king of Moab] while David was [hiding in the stronghold.] The prophet, Gad, said to David, [Don’t stay] in the [stronghold, but] depart & [go] to the land of Judah. Then, David departed & came to the forest of Hareth. 

When Saul heard David & [his] men [were found,] (Saul [currently stayed] in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, [with] his spear in hand & all his servants standing [around] him.)

Then, Saul said to [those] servants, Hear now, you Benjamites; will [David,] the son of Jesse give [each] of you fields & vineyards & make you all captains of 1,000’s & captains of 100’s?

All of you have conspired against me & none [of you showed] me that my son had made a [pact] with the son of Jesse. There [are] none of you [who are] sorry for me, or [show] me that my son has stirred up my servant, [David,] against me, to lie in wait, [like] this day. 

Then Doeg, the Edomite, [who was put] over [Saul’s] servants, answered & said, I saw [David] coming to [the priest,] Ahimelech, [Ahitub’s] son, [in] Nob. He [consulted] the Lord for [David] & gave him [food] & the sword of Goliath, the Philistine. 

Then, king [Saul] sent [for] Ahimelech, the priest & all his father’s [family,] the priests that were in Nob & they all came to the king. And Saul said, [Listen] now, you son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. 

Saul [asked Ahimelech,]  Why have you conspired against me by giving [David] bread, a sword & [by consulting] God for him, [so] that he should rise against me & lie in wait, [like it is] this day?

Then, Ahimelech answered the king & said, Who is so faithful [of] all your servants as David, [who] is the king’s son-in-law & goes at your bidding & is honorable in your house?

[Was this the beginning of my consulting] God for him? Far be it from me. [Don’t] let the king [accuse me,] his servant, nor all my father’s [family:] for we [didn’t know anything about] all this, [even a little bit] or more. 

And King [Saul] said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech & all your father’s [family.] [Saul] told the [guards, who] stood [around] him, Turn & [kill] the priests of the Lord, because they [are] also with David & knew when he fled & didn’t show it to me.

But the [king’s guards] wouldn’t put their hands out to [kill] the priests of the Lord. King [Saul] said to Doeg, Turn & fall upon the priests & [he did] & 85 [people] died [who] wear a linen ephod.

[1 Samuel 2:28 And [didn’t] I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon [My] altar, to burn incense & to wear an ephod before Me? And [didn’t] I give to the house of your father all the offerings made by fire of the children [people] of Israel?]

He [attacked] Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men, women, children, [nursing babies,] oxen, [donkeys] & sheep with the edge of the sword.

One of the sons of  Ahimelech, [Ahitub’s] son, named Abiathar, escaped & fled after David. Abiathar [told] David that Saul had [killed] the Lord’s priests. And David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg, the Edomite, was there. That he would surely tell Saul.

I [am responsible for] the death of all the [people] of your father’s [family.] [Stay] with me & [don’t be afraid]: for [Saul, who] seeks my life [also] seeks your life, but with me, you will be [safe.]
