2Sa 21:15, When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; AND DAVID GREW FAINT.
David was a man of war, yet even the best men grow old!
Psa 73:26, MY FLESH AND MY HEART FAIL; BUT GOD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART AND MY PORTION FOREVER.
2Sa 21:16-17, Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, … THOUGHT HE COULD KILL DAVID. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “YOU SHALL GO OUT NO MORE WITH US TO BATTLE, LEST YOU QUENCH THE LAMP OF ISRAEL.”
Psa 132:17, There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
Psa 18:28, FOR YOU WILL LIGHT MY LAMP; THE LORD MY GOD WILL ENLIGHTEN MY DARKNESS.
DAVID WAS GETTING OLD AND HE ALMOST DIED IN BATTLE! HE WAS ISRAEL’S LIGHT BUT, THE TRUE LIGHT IS THE ONE GUIDING DAVID! JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD WHO WILL NEVER DIE! FOR HE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE KING OF kings and LORD of lords! JESUS SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH (ZEC 14:9)!
Joh 8:12, Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.”
