2Sa 2:8-9, BUT ABNER the son of Ner,… TOOK ISHBOSHETH … AND HE MADE HIM KING OVER GILEAD…AND OVER ALL ISRAEL.
A Divided house with 2 kings!
Mar 3:25, … A HOUSE IS DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, THAT HOUSE CANNOT STAND.
2Sa 2:31, But the servants of David had struck down, of Benjamin and Abner’s men, three hundred and sixty men who died.
Joab and Abner, the commanders of the two kings went to war against each other. While David’s commander Joab lost 20 men including his brother; Abner lost 360 men!
Jos 24:15, And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.”
NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS, SO IT’S EITHER KING SELF OR THE KING OF KINGS! JESUS! THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
