1. It is interesting that God refers to Saul and his legacy as a blood-stained house. After all, didn't David kill tens of thousands and Saul only thousands?
2. The anecdotes that are given in chapter 21 are not in order, but rather some tidbits of information, from what I am guessing. After all, David was staying in his palace and not fighting with his men when he saw Bathsheba. I am assuming that the incident occurred after the Israelites persuaded him not to go out with them when they fought.
3. There sure were some very unusually formed figures that came from the house of Rapha. I wonder what sort of man Rapha was. The picture I have in my mind is a picture of the man who was called "Jaws" in the James Bond movies.
4. It is interesting that there is a song that is credited to David in chapter 22. I wonder why this was not just put in Psalms instead of being listed here.
5. Are the last words of David truly his last words of life? See chapter 23.
6. David sure surrounded himself with some very capable fighters. It is interesting just to read about some of the exploits that are listed in chapter 23. I also wonder about the sons of Zeruiah: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel (killed by Abner). These guys were fierce! How did Zeruiah raise them, I wonder. It must've been like boot camp from the time they were little babies.
