[When heard that David was hiding in Judah], Saul shouted to his officers. \u201cWhy you have conspired against me? For not one of you told me when my own son made a solemn pact with the son of Jesse. You\u2019re not even sorry for me. Think of it! My own son\u2014encouraging him to kill me, as he is trying to do this very day!\u201d Then Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul\u2019s men, spoke up. \u201cWhen I was at Nob,\u201d he said, \u201cI saw the son of Jesse talking to the priest, Ahimelech son of Ahitub. Ahimelech consulted the LORD for him. Then he gave him food and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.\u201d King Saul immediately sent for Ahimelech and all his family, who served as priests at Nob. When they arrived, Saul shouted at him, \u201cListen to me, you son of Ahitub!\u201d \u201cWhat is it, my king?\u201d Ahimelech asked. \u201cWhy have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me?\u201d Saul demanded. \u201cWhy did you give him food and a sword? Why have you consulted God for him? Why have you encouraged him to kill me, as he is trying to do this very day?\u201d \u201cBut sir,\u201d Ahimelech replied, \u201cis anyone among all your servants as faithful as David, your son-in-law? Why, he is the captain of your bodyguard and a highly honored member of your household! This was certainly not the first time I had consulted God for him! May the king not accuse me and my family in this matter, for I knew nothing at all of any plot against you.\u201d \u201cYou will surely die, Ahimelech, along with your entire family!\u201d the king shouted. And he ordered his bodyguards, \u201cKill these priests of the LORD, for they are allies and conspirators with David! They knew he was running away from me, but they didn\u2019t tell me!\u201d But Saul\u2019s men refused to kill the LORD\u2019s priests. Then the king said to Doeg, \u201cYou do it.\u201d So Doeg the Edomite turned on them and killed them that day, 85 priests in all, still wearing their priestly garments. Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and killed the priests\u2019 families\u2014men and women, children and babies\u2014and all the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. Only Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, escaped and fled to David… <\/em><\/p>\nSee 1 Samuel 22:7\u201323 (NLT) for the full version
This is how a priest became a warrior. Benaiah was a son of Jehoiada, the chief priest at Kebzeel. They came to Nob that fateful day. After witnessing the horror, Jehoiada sent his son on with Abiathar with this letter to David, while he hurried home to protect the priestly community at Kebzeel. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dear King David,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pen down this letter with a heart laden with the gravity of the times we find ourselves in, yet with a spark of hope as I introduce my son, Benaiah [1], to your honorable service. As the sun cast its first light this morning, we approached the serene grounds of Nob, a place where I intended to immerse Benaiah in the sacred priestly traditions before he embraced the tranquil mantle of the priesthood [2]. But we were met not with the songs of devotion but the eerie silence of death. The hallowed grounds were stained with the blood of innocents, a chilling testament to the darkness that had swept through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst the remnants of what once was a sanctuary, we found young Abiathar, the sole remnant of a lineage once vibrant, his eyes filled with the horror of what transpired and yet, a glimmer of hope. The sacred ephod he clutched as if holding onto the last thread of divine providence amidst the storm of malevolence that had befallen upon Nob. Observing the dire need for protection and justice, and recognizing the divine orchestration that placed us there at that moment, I entrusted Benaiah with the duty of safeguarding Abiathar and the holy ephod, to seek refuge under your righteous reign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stark reality of the hour cast a new light upon Benaiah\u2019s path. I saw before me, not the gentle heart of a young priest, but the fierce resolve of a budding warrior, ready to defend the remnants of justice and divinity. I recall last winter, Benaiah had stared down the eyes of death, a lion that threatened the breath of our village. With nought but courage, he chased the beast into the pit, his breath dancing with the snowflakes, a dance of death and life played on the white canvas of winter [1]. And as the lion breathed its last, I saw in my son\u2019s eyes, a fire that yearned to shield the innocent from the jaws of fear and death. His deeds spoke of a warrior\u2019s heart, a guardian\u2019s resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the harrowing circumstances and the clarion call for justice, it became clear that the Lord had paved a path divergent from the one I had envisioned for Benaiah. His calling resonated with the rhythm of a sword clashing against the chains of oppression, rather than the tranquil chants of priestly sermons. His endowment lay in restoring justice, in protecting the weak, a form of service to the Almighty that bore a different, yet equally significant essence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, as the shadows of malevolence lengthen across the lands, I find myself penning down words I hadn\u2019t envisioned before. I beseech you to welcome Benaiah into your fold, to let his blade be an extension of justice that your reign embodies. The times have carved a warrior out of a priest\u2019s son, and I trust that under your noble gaze, his sword shall carve a realm where justice reigns and fear withers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I seal this letter with a prayer, my mind travels across the arid lands between us, to the heart of your kingdom where justice finds its voice. I envisage a horizon where the swords of justice vanquish the shadows that threaten the innocent, a dawn where the hymns of peace resonate through a land cradled in justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May the Lord guide his blade and your reign. May God’s justice continue forever [3] !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours in hope and reverence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jehoiada, the Chief Priest of Kabzeel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share with your friends “Benaiah\u2019s journey reflects a change in how he might deliver justice. Discuss how different circumstances might require a shift from a more merciful approach to a more judgmental one, or vice versa.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n[1] Benaiah was one of David’s famous Mighty Men mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:20-23. His father was a chief priest according to 1 Chr. 27:5. His “chasing the lion into a pit on a snowy day to kill it” was remarkable since lions in the winter would be more dangerous because of food scarcity.
[2] The first requirement to be a Jewish priest in ancient Israel is to be born in the priestly tribe of Levite according to Deuteronomy 18:1-8
[3] David wrote Psalm 52:1-9 when he heard about what Doeg had done and asked “Don\u2019t you realize God\u2019s justice continues forever?”<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
