Scripture Union Daily Guide 18th July 2026 Outline
Barzillai, a very old man and one of the three persons who provided for David and his people in his days of affliction (2 Samuel 17:27-29), also came to join in the king’s convoy as he returns home. What can we learn from David and Barzillai in 2 Samuel 19:33-37? David is a model of a grateful person who was determined to reciprocate Barzillai’s act of kindness. Barzillai on the other hand, provided for David purely out of love and not for anything that he could get from him. He was not the greedy pleasure-seeking and materialistic person who will always want to acquire more.
Notice that Kimham gained a lifetime of living with the king on account of Barzillai’s relationship with David. Let’s live such life full of love for Jesus our King, That can attract others, especially our family members to Him. Imagine the drama in 2 Samuel 19:41-43!
When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him (Proverbs 16:7). The ten tribes of Israel are now fighting with Judah over who owns David more! Read 2 Samuel 19:43 and Proverbs 15:1 and note how softer response from Judah would’ve averted the looming revolt.
