WHO HATH REDEEMED MY SOUL OUT OF ALL ADVERSITY
1 SAMUEL 4:8-11
AND THEY BROUGHT
THE HEAD OF ISHBOSHETH
UNTO DAVID TO HEBRON, AND SAID KING, BEHOLD THE HEAD OF ISHBOSHETH
THE SON OF SAUL THINE ENEMY,
WHICH SOUGHT THY LIFE;
AND THE LORD HATH AVENGED
MY LORD THE KING THIS DAY OF SAUL,
AND OF HIS SEED.
AND DAVID ANSWERED RECHAB
AND BAANAH HIS BROTHER,
THE SONS OF RIMMON THE BEEROTHITE,
AND SAID UNTO THEM,
AS THE LORD LIVETH,
WHO HATH REDEEMED MY SOUL
OUT OF ALL ADVERSITY,
WHEN ONE TOLD ME, SAYING,
BEHOLD, SAUL IS DEAD,
THINKING TO HAVE BROUGHT
GOOD TIDINGS,
I TOOK HOLD OF HIM,
AND SLEW HIM IN ZIKLAG,
WHO THOUGHT THAT
I WOULD HAVE GIVEN
HIM A REWARD FOR HIS TIDINGS:
HOW MUCH MORE,
WHEN WICKED MEN HAVE
SLAIN A RIGHTEOUS PERSON
IN HIS OWN HOUSE UPON
HIS BED?
SHALL I NOT THEREFORE
NOW REQUIRE HIS BLOOD
OF YOUR HAND,
AND TAKE YOU AWAY
FROM THE EARTH?
LOVE
