Things to look for as you read this week:

• How does David respond when he learns that his mortal enemy, Saul, is dead?
• What prophet is sent by God to confront David about his sin with Bathsheba?
• Which psalm records David's prayer of confession because of the affair with Bathsheba?
• What does Paul think of lawsuits brought by Christians against other Christians?

 

Last week's answers:

• Why does Saul become angry with David? (The people praise David more than they do Saul.—I Samuel 18:8)
• Late in his life, a desperate Saul visits a medium at Endor to try to speak with someone who has died. Who? (Samuel—I Samuel 28)
• Paul often has colleagues working with him in his ministry. Who seems to be working with him when he writes I Corinthians? (Sosthenes—I Corinthians 1:1)
