Well.....its Friday. On Fridays I like to keep it light hearted.
3 ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.’”
This line made me laugh out loud. See how twisted I am? I think its hilarious that he asked for his "best" wives. I can see this on an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. Word comes that the king wants you wife..........really? He wants her........TAKE HER! I wonder what the percentage of the total wives, were the best ones? We know Solomon had, was it 700? wives.....so, these kings probably had a pretty good number. Even if they had 25. I can see the king saying you can have all of these....but not that one. She is my best one! And take those kids too. They're trouble. Except for that one. I like that one.
hahaha.
I do like reading the stories of the battles. It seems so crazy that God delivers these huge armies into his peoples hands. The line that is always used is, "so you will know that I am the Lord your God." And he does it......the people are amazed. And then they forget.
so weak
like me

I love your creative mind--you kill me with your translations into our world today! I can totally see the E.L.R. episode coming out of this! Yes, absolutely a cycle of being amazed by God recognizing him and then slipping back into life without acknowledging him...until the next amazing act.
