Readers -

Some things don't have to be interpreted or explained - they are so obvious a blind man could see them.

Here is an example of the marvelous exactness of God's Word. I came across this example while looking at some other numbers.

here is the prime number

The first two verses are the example. Both verse have a very specific theme, involving a very specific person, at two points in his life.

1Samuel 17:20
"And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle."

2 Samuel 7:8
"Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: ..."

Surely you see it.

Two separate Bible Books. Admittedly, both verses have the same number of words, but different numbers of letters, and different words.

Both deal with David at two different points in his life, as a boy and as king of Israel. Specifically, they address his "shepherd boy" background.

Too exact to be ignored. God's Word is living.

Jesus is Lord.
