God’s Glory in Me

Synopsis     2Sam 23:6-14     2/7/2019 

King David had a group of loyal men who had gained renown for their military exploits. The people memorialized them for their glorious deeds. 

This was apparently a small group of men number just over thirty. These men were memorialized in two groups. First in mention and in accomplishment was the group of three.  Ishbaal, son of Hachamoni, was the chief of the three. The other two were Eleazar, the son of Dodo, the Ahohite and Shammah, son of Agee the Hararite.  

Each of the “Three” had accomplished a remarkable feat in battle. 

The Glory of the Three 

Three men distinguished themselves so completely that they became known as “The Three”. And, according to the scriptures, the glory of the “Three” was incomparable.  

God’s Glory in Me 

But what is glory anyway?  

A person, or even a thing, is glorious by virtue of how it expresses the wisdom that causes it. So, the purer the expression and the better the wisdom, the more glorious the example.
