I am under no illusions about what is going to happen in the future, and that the end is probably only a few months away. It is so sad to see what was once a very healthy and strong man to now what is a very skinny man with a big frame. He is 55.
How Much Did David Pay for Ornan's Threshingfloor? Claimed Contradiction: II Samuel 24:24 says that David paid 50 shekels of silver to purchase the threshingfloor of Ornan, yet I Chronicles 21:25 says that he paid 600 shekels of gold for this property. This supposed contradiction, like many others, rests on the shaky foundation of cursory reading.
In 2 Samuel 2:1 Though David knew he has been anointed by God to be king over Israel, and now Saul was dead, with his military power he would have went ahead to imposed himself on the people of Israel, but he would not do that, so he still enquired from God whether to go into the land of Judah or not.0 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. 11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
