2 Samuel 21:22
These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sat, July 24, RAPHA (II Sam. 21:22). Rapha, perhaps, can be considered as the lucky parents. Why? Because, he had many descendants. Not only many, but also he had great descendants.
1. The size.
His descendants were giants. No dwarfs in the list of his descendants. Most of them, we are told were giant in size.
2. The skill.
His descendants were skillful in war. They went to war many times. They must be very experienced in wars.
3. The spirit.
His descendants were brave. They didn’t afraid of David. Other people would be trembled only by hearing the name of David. Even, Absalom’s soldiers, whom had lion hearts, were also trembled only by hearing the name of David.
4. The strength.
We know the power of the giants. Usually, giants are very strong. Their strength may be doubled than the strength of regular men.
5. The spear.
His descendants had great lethal weapons. They had spears, swords. Perhaps, in the human calculations, they were lucky, safe. But, many of them were killed easily by David and his men. The human calculations can not be compared to God’s calculations. So, don’t depend on human’s strength. Always depend on God. ASH.
