Weeds and Satan

I Samuel 11-14

A very meaningful passage of coronations and power grabs as Israel stumbles toward nationhood under their new government.  One passage is very telling.  In chapter 13:19-22 we learn there are only two weapons in all of Israel, two swords in the whole nation.  How can you build a nation with only two weapons.  I mean America has H Bombs, Nuke Subs and Preditor Drones.  That caught my attention and made me wonder if our Pilgrims had any weapons when they came to America.  Maybe all they had were hoes and Bibles.  Depending on how you look at it, those could be the mightiest weapons on earth.

Funny thing about weapons, they’re designed based on who you think your enemy is!
