Joab, David's commander, Abishai,
and Asahel were brothers they were all in David’s army.
Asahel runs fast like a gazelle,
so he began chasing Abner, who was Saul's commander and now came fighting with
his son Ishboseth.
When Abner noticed him chasing he
warned him to fight with someone else.
But Asahel din give up. Abner warned
him to get away from him, since he dint wish to kill Asahel because he felt bad
to face his brother Joab. But Asahel refused to turn back, so Abner thrusted
his spear through Asahel’s stomach and he died.
When his brothers Joab and Abishai
found this out they began chasing Abner.
Abner at one point shouted and asked
Joab, that should they always be killing each other and finally result in
bitterness ? He asked Joab, when will he stop his men from chasing their
Israelite brothers?
Then Joab realized and blew the
ram’s horn, and stopped chasing their
Israelite brothers and they returned home.
To ponder:
We too, in our anger and frustration forget
and vent out to our own brothers and sisters, instead of fighting with the real
enemy, the Devil!
Are we doing this foolish act?
Eph 4: 26,27 says, anger is the foot hold of the devil in our
life. So let's cool down before the sun sets. And don't give opportunity for the devil in our life and
thereby losing our happy and loving days with our near and dear. Be wise
and enjoy.
