All these were descendants of Asher—heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders. The number of men ready for battle, as listed in their genealogy, was 26,000.

Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance, 14and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for your plan and how you designed my life. Help me to be obedient to your desire and not my own. Change me to fit your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
