Keep pure conscious heart before the Lord

2 Samuel 21:1-22
For there was a famine for three successive years; so David sought the face of the Lord.
It is because  Saul put the Gibeoneites to death. Saul had sweared to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilated them.
David spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan. David took Armani and Mephiboshedh the two sons of Aiah’s Daughter Rizpah, whom had borne to Saul, together with the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
After that, God answered prayer in behalf of the land.
David’s men swore to David, “Never again will you go out with us to battle so that the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished.”
These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
V1-14 probably precede Mephibosheth’s welcome at court.
The story of Isreal’s Pact with Gideon is told in Joshua. Saul had apparently broken the treaty, despite close family connections with the city.
Why?
Our Lord is righteousness, no one who is with sin or innocent bloodshed and his prayer could be listened by the Lord.
David kept his promise to Jonathan, so his son, Mephibosheth’s life.

記載大衛跌倒後再站起來。
基遍人降卑來跟隨耶和華，在會幕砍材。掃羅想把外邦人都趕出去，他用人的方法來處理。
基遍人公義敬虔，他們沒有因此賺大衛一筆。他們做此事是經得起神的考驗，是公義的。他們無處伸冤，因為殺人的是王。但是神是為我們伸冤，比我們自己做的大好幾倍。伸冤在神！
五月到秋天有五個月的時間。愛雅是有愛的。公義後仍然以慈愛來對待。大衛得知後將他們的屍體都與掃羅、約拿旦都葬在一起。公義之後以慈愛來恢復關係。神的目的不是公義，可以要人悔改，恢復關係。慈愛才是後來的目的。
跌倒後要再回到起初！單純完全信靠的心。當初大衛用石頭打敗哥利亞，這次他們殺了了四個巨人，重新得力，比以前更有能力。從罪中站立起來，我們比以前更有能力。我們裏面是否有不討神喜悅的事，常常回想，將罪除去，使我們全然聖潔全無瑕疵。
常常求神潔淨我們！
