Grace for your spirit
Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, Or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, The daughters of the uncircumcised will exult. II Samuel 1:20
David is delivering the Song of the Bow. It is a funeral dirge for King Saul and Jonathan. They had just been killed in battle by the Philistines. David is praising their lives, and giving a strict warning to the people in Judah. He told the people to keep this news away from the enemy, so they wouldn't be happy about the death of the king. Bad news travels fast, and bad news about God's kingdom travels like lightning. The same is true today. When there is trouble in our churches, some can't wait to spread the news to our enemies. If spreading bad news about God's kingdom is our only talent, let's bury it.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
