Divided Families - 2

Moses, his brother and sister

Read Numbers chapter 12

Job and family

Job 2:9-10

9 His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!”

10  He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Job 19:14-17

14 My kinsmen have gone away; my friends have forgotten me.

15  My guests and my maidservants count me a stranger; they look upon me as an alien.

16  I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth.

17  My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own brothers.

Jesse and sons

1 Samuel 16:8-13  

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.” 

9  Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the LORD chosen this one.” 

10  Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The LORD has not chosen these.” 

11  So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered, “but he is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

12  So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; he is the one.”

13  So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.

1 Samuel 17:18  

Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers are and bring back some assurance from them.

Saul and Sons

1 Samuel 14:44  

Saul said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan.”

1 Samuel 20:33  

But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.
