Bible Teaching of the Day
Concentrate on the Cross – Part 6
After being ruthlessly tortured by the Romans, Jesus was forced to carry His cross to the place where He would be crucified. At first, Jesus carried His own cross (John 19:17). But, eventually, likely due to the extreme torture He had already endured, Jesus was no longer able to carry His cross. As a result, the Roman soldiers forced another man to help Jesus carry the cross.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke all identify the man who helped Jesus carry the cross as Simon, a man from Cyrene (Matthew 27:32; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26). Cyrene was an ancient city in Libya, Africa. Its location has led to many traditional depictions of Simon as an African black man. It is possible that Simon was black, but, since Scripture does not say, we cannot be sure. Cyrene was a Greek colony and a major cultural center of Greek philosophy and medicine. The city also had a significant population of Jews and Jewish proselytes (see Acts 2:10).
Mark and Luke add that Simon “was on his way in from the country,” and Mark further adds that Simon “was the father of Alexander and Rufus.” Alexander and Rufus, therefore, must have been known to Mark’s readers. Other than these three verses in the Synoptic Gospels, Simon of Cyrene is nowhere else mentioned in Scripture.
There is speculation, based on some church tradition, that Simon of Cyrene later became a Christian—some theories state that he was already a follower of Christ before the crucifixion—and was a leader in the early church. There is also tradition that the Rufus mentioned in Mark 15:21 is the same Rufus mentioned in Romans 16:13. If this is the case, then it would lend credence to the idea that Simon and his family were prominent in the early church. But, again, Scripture nowhere explicitly makes this connection between the two Rufuses.
Simon of Cyrene was the man who helped Jesus carry the cross. For that, he is “immortalized” in the pages of Scripture. Hopefully, after receiving an extreme close-up of the suffering Jesus endured on our behalf, Simon of Cyrene also came to trust Jesus as His Savior. Simon may have borne the cross part of the way to Golgotha, but Jesus bore Simon’s sin (1 John 2:2).
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Bedink die Kruis – Deel 6
Nadat Jesus genadeloos deur die Romeine gemartel is, is Jesus gedwing om sy kruis te dra na die plek waar Hy gekruisig sou word. Aanvanklik het Jesus sy eie kruis gedra (Johannes 19:17). Maar uiteindelik, waarskynlik as gevolg van die uiterste marteling wat Hy reeds verduur het, was Jesus nie meer in staat om Sy kruis te dra nie. Gevolglik het die Romeinse soldate ‘n ander man gedwing om Jesus te help om die kruis te dra.
Matteus, Markus en Lukas identifiseer almal die man wat Jesus gehelp het om die kruis te dra as Simon, ’n man van Cirene (Matteus 27:32; Markus 15:21; Lukas 23:26). Cirene was ‘n antieke stad in Libië, Afrika. Die ligging daarvan het gelei tot baie tradisionele uitbeeldings van Simon as ‘n swart man van Afrika. Dit is moontlik dat Simon swart was, maar aangesien die Skrif nie sê nie, kan ons nie seker wees nie. Cirene was ‘n Griekse kolonie en ‘n belangrike kulturele sentrum van Griekse filosofie en geneeskunde. Die stad het ook ‘n aansienlike bevolking van Jode en Joodse proseliete gehad (sien Handelinge 2:10).
Mark en Lukas voeg by dat Simon “op pad was van die land af,” en Mark voeg verder by dat Simon “die vader van Alexander en Rufus was.” Alexander en Rufus moes dus aan Mark se lesers bekend gewees het. Behalwe hierdie drie verse in die Sinoptiese Evangelies, word Simon van Cirene nêrens anders in die Skrif genoem nie.
Daar is bespiegeling, gebaseer op een of ander kerktradisie, dat Simon van Cirene later ‘n Christen geword het – sommige teorieë sê dat hy reeds ‘n volgeling van Christus was voor die kruisiging – en ‘n leier in die vroeë kerk was. Daar is ook tradisie dat die Rufus wat in Markus 15:21 genoem word dieselfde Rufus is wat in Romeine 16:13 genoem word. As dit die geval is, sal dit geloof verleen aan die idee dat Simon en sy gesin prominent in die vroeë kerk was. Maar weereens maak die Skrif nêrens hierdie verband tussen die twee Rufuse uitdruklik nie.
Simon van Cirene was die man wat Jesus gehelp het om die kruis te dra. Daarvoor word hy “verewig” op die bladsye van die Skrif. Hopelik het Simon van Cirene, nadat hy ‘n uiterse close-up van die lyding wat Jesus namens ons verduur het, ook op Jesus as Sy Verlosser kom vertrou. Simon het dalk die kruis deel van die pad na Golgota gedra, maar Jesus het Simon se sonde gedra (1 Johannes 2:2).
Today’s Devotional
Jesus is teaching His disciples, and, like any good teacher, He gets His students thinking. In this case, He begins with a truth statement that is hard to understand. Then He clarifies it with a metaphor. The truth statement is Luke 14:26, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.” It seems that, if we don’t hate our family, we can’t be Jesus’ disciple. Or is there more to this issue?
Following the statement that we must “hate” our father and mother, Jesus relates a metaphor about a man who builds a house without first counting the cost (Luke 14:28–30). The man finds that he cannot follow through with what he set out to do. He leaves the house unfinished because he cannot pay what is required. Jesus’ illustration helps explain His difficult statement about hating our mother and father—namely, we must count the cost of being a disciple. There is a cost, and that is the point of the passage.
In order to be a disciple, we must be willing to give up everything for Jesus. Following Jesus requires commitment and faithfulness, even if our parents choose not to follow the Lord. If and when we are faced with the painful choice of loyalty to family versus loyalty to Jesus, we must choose Jesus. Even if our family members disown us—or worse—for being Christians, we must follow Christ. It is in this sense that we are “hating” our family. Jesus’ command to “hate father and mother” requires us to prioritize our relationship with Jesus over our relationship with parents, siblings, and other family members.
Of course, it is right to love our family members, and we want them to love and follow God. Elsewhere, Jesus confirmed the fifth commandment that we honor our fathers and mothers (Mark 7:9–13). And Paul sternly warned that “anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever” (1 Timothy 5:8). Jesus’ statement that we “hate” father and mother must be seen in relation to the whole of Scripture. His point is not that we are to be heartless toward our families, only that we must love Him more.
We must not forget that included in Jesus’ condition that a follower must “hate” his father and mother is the condition that he likewise hate “even his own life” (Luke 14:26, NAS). Jesus is not teaching an emotional hatred of one’s parents any more than He is teaching self-hatred. The emphasis is on self-denial and absolute surrender. Immediately following is Jesus’ instruction to “carry your own cross” (verse 27, NLT).
Some other translations make Jesus’ meaning a little clearer: “If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison” (Luke 14:26, NLT, emphasis added), and the Amplified Bible says that a follower of Christ must “hate” his family members “in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God.” It is a “hatred” by comparison, not an absolute hatred.
The word hate in Luke 14:26 deserves a closer look. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the contrast between “love” and “hatred” is sometimes used to communicate preference. For example, in dealing with inheritances in polygamous marriages, the Mosaic Law referred to “two wives, one beloved, and another hated” (Deuteronomy 21:15, KJV). This is a good, literal translation. There was a “loved” wife and a “hated” wife. Other translations usually soften the “hated” wife to be “unloved” (CSB) or “less loved” (NET). The law was not indicating emotional hatred on the part of the husband, only preference. One wife was preferred over the other. We have a similar use of the love/hate idiom in Malachi 1:2–3 (cf. Romans 9:13).
Many Christians will never have to make the painful choice of turning their backs on their family in order to follow Christ. But, around the world, there are many other Christians who face shunning, disowning, or persecution from their families. These believers, if they are to be true to Christ, are forced to live in a way perceived as “hateful” toward their “father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters” (Luke 14:26). All believers are called to acknowledge the lordship of Christ and show Him preference over all earthly ties. Those who must sacrifice earthly relationships have this promise: “No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life” (Mark 10:29–30).
Vandag se Bemoediging
Jesus leer Sy dissipels, en, soos enige goeie onderwyser, laat Hy Sy studente dink. In hierdie geval begin Hy met ‘n waarheidsverklaring wat moeilik is om te verstaan. Dan verduidelik Hy dit met ‘n metafoor. Die waarheidsverklaring is Lukas 14:26, “As iemand na My toe kom en nie vader en moeder, vrou en kinders, broers en susters, ja, selfs hul eie lewe, haat nie, kan so iemand nie my dissipel wees nie.” Dit blyk dat, as ons nie ons familie haat nie, ons nie Jesus se dissipel kan wees nie. Of is daar meer aan hierdie kwessie?
Na aanleiding van die stelling dat ons ons vader en moeder moet “haat”, vertel Jesus ‘n metafoor oor ‘n man wat ‘n huis bou sonder om eers die koste te bereken (Luk. 14:28–30). Die man vind dat hy nie kan deurgaan met wat hy voorgeneem het om te doen nie. Hy verlaat die huis onvoltooid omdat hy nie kan betaal wat vereis word nie. Jesus se illustrasie help om Sy moeilike stelling oor die haat van ons ma en vader te verduidelik—naamlik, ons moet die koste bereken om ‘n dissipel te wees. Daar is ‘n koste, en dit is die punt van die gedeelte.
Om ‘n dissipel te wees, moet ons bereid wees om alles vir Jesus prys te gee. Om Jesus te volg vereis toewyding en getrouheid, al kies ons ouers om nie die Here te volg nie. As en wanneer ons gekonfronteer word met die pynlike keuse van lojaliteit aan familie versus lojaliteit aan Jesus, moet ons Jesus kies. Selfs al verloën ons familielede ons – of erger nog – omdat ons Christene is, moet ons Christus volg. Dit is in hierdie sin dat ons ons gesin “haat”. Jesus se opdrag om “vader en moeder te haat” vereis dat ons ons verhouding met Jesus prioritiseer bo ons verhouding met ouers, broers en susters en ander familielede.
Dit is natuurlik reg om ons gesinslede lief te hê, en ons wil hê hulle moet God liefhê en volg. Elders het Jesus die vyfde gebod bevestig dat ons ons vaders en moeders eer (Mark 7:9–13). En Paulus het streng gewaarsku dat “elkeen wat nie vir hul familielede en veral vir hul eie huisgesin sorg nie, die geloof verloën het en erger is as ’n ongelowige” (1 Timoteus 5:8). Jesus se stelling dat ons vader en moeder “haat”, moet in verband met die hele Skrif gesien word. Sy punt is nie dat ons harteloos teenoor ons gesinne moet wees nie, net dat ons Hom meer moet liefhê.
Ons moet nie vergeet dat ingesluit in Jesus se toestand dat ‘n volgeling sy vader en moeder moet “haat” die voorwaarde is dat hy eweneens “selfs sy eie lewe” haat nie (Luk. 14:26, NAS). Jesus leer nie ‘n emosionele haat van ‘n mens se ouers net so min as wat Hy selfhaat leer nie. Die klem val op selfverloëning en absolute oorgawe. Onmiddellik volg Jesus se opdrag om “jou eie kruis te dra” (vers 27, NLV).
Sommige ander vertalings maak Jesus se betekenis ‘n bietjie duideliker: “As jy my dissipel wil wees, moet jy almal anders haat in vergelyking” (Lukas 14:26, NLT, beklemtoning bygevoeg), en die Amplified Bible sê dat ‘n volgeling van Christus sy familielede moet “haat” “in die sin van onverskilligheid teenoor of relatiewe minagting teenoor God in vergelyking met hulle.” Dit is ‘n “haat” in vergelyking, nie ‘n absolute haat nie.
Die woord haat in Lukas 14:26 verdien ‘n nader kyk. In die Hebreeuse Geskrifte word die kontras tussen “liefde” en “haat” soms gebruik om voorkeur te kommunikeer. Byvoorbeeld, in die hantering van erfporsies in poligame huwelike, het die Mosaïese Wet verwys na “twee vroue, een geliefde en een wat gehaat is” ( Deuteronomium 21:15 , KJV ). Dit is ‘n goeie, letterlike vertaling. Daar was ‘n “geliefde” vrou en ‘n “gehate” vrou. Ander vertalings versag gewoonlik die “gehate” vrou om “ongeliefde” (CSB) of “minder geliefd” (NET) te wees. Die wet het nie emosionele haat aan die kant van die man aangedui nie, slegs voorkeur. Een vrou is bo die ander verkies. Ons het ‘n soortgelyke gebruik van die liefde/haat-idioom in Maleagi 1:2–3 (vgl. Romeine 9:13).
Baie Christene sal nooit die pynlike keuse hoef te maak om hul rug op hul familie te draai om Christus te volg nie. Maar regoor die wêreld is daar baie ander Christene wat te staan kom vir vermyding, verloëning of vervolging van hul gesinne. Hierdie gelowiges, as hulle getrou wil wees aan Christus, word gedwing om te lewe op ‘n manier wat as “haatlik” beskou word teenoor hul “vader en moeder, vrou en kinders, broers en susters” (Luk. 14:26). Alle gelowiges word opgeroep om die heerskappy van Christus te erken en aan Hom voorkeur te toon bo alle aardse bande. Diegene wat aardse verhoudings moet opoffer, het hierdie belofte: “Niemand wat die huis of broers of susters of moeder of vader of kinders of landerye vir my en die evangelie verlaat het, sal in hierdie huidige tyd honderd keer soveel ontvang nie: huise, broers, susters, moeders, kinders en velde – saam met vervolgings – en in die tyd wat kom, die ewige lewe:” (Markus 29 3100).

Bible Prophecy in the News
IS THIS TRUMP’S BIG SOLUTION FOR GAZA?
Many people are wondering what President Trump’s plan is for Gaza. He has mentioned bringing peace to the Middle East on countless occasions, but it has been hard to see if the president actually has a plan. I for one believe I have figured it out.
President Trump gave a hint of what he would like to see in Gaza during yesterday’s marathon executive order signing ceremony. The President responded to a journalist’s question about whether the three stages of the ceasefire agreement would be completed: “I’m not confident… This isn’t our war. It’s their war. I’m not confident, but I think they’re very weakened on the other side. I looked at a picture of Gaza. It looks like a massive demolition site. It needs to be rebuilt in a different way.”
So what does Trump mean by rebuilding Gaza in a different way? The President hinted with this: “Gaza has a phenomenal location—on the sea, the best weather… Some beautiful things could be done there.”
Trump has always been an outside of the box thinker and it wouldn’t be surprising if he tempts the Arab countries that have signed the Abraham Accords to help rebuild Gaza as a sort of resort strip placed under the umbrella of an expanded Abraham Accords.
True, it is not exactly the way I think, but it is clear that it is the way President Trump thinks as well as investors from Saudi Arabia and the UAE who will jump in to make sure that Qatar is kept out. At the end of the day, the president will try to tie in his Gulf partners (who are also his business partners) to a deal that will make rebuilding Gaza worth it for them and if it is so lucrative then these Arab countries will find some way to move the Arabs that live in Gaza elsewhere. Perhaps they will simply send them back to Egypt from where they came from in the 1950s.
Of course the best deal would be to let Israel not only finish the job, but resettle Gaza with Jews. After all, Gaza is part of the Land of Israel and by resettling Gaza, Israel will ensure it can never be used for terror again. Anything else is a slap in the face to the soldiers of the IDF who did not fight and die for a hotel zone owned by the Gulf Arabs or for Hamas to stay in power. They fought to defeat our enemies once and for all and to finally liberate our land from those who are illegally squatting on it.
President Trump has many good intentions, but the only way to ensure peace in the Middle East is not through business deals, but rather it is to prove to the Arab Jihadists that when they start wars with the Jewish Nation, it is the Jewish Nation that keeps the Land at the end.

Introduction to the Bible
THE JUDGES
Joshua — Moses’ successor, Joshua, leads the children of Israel across the Jordan River (parted
miraculously by God) and into Canaan. God overthrows the city of Jericho by knocking its walls
down. Joshua leads the people in a successful campaign to conquer the whole of Canaan. With a
few exceptions, the Israelites remain faithful to their promise to keep their covenant with God,
and God blesses them with military victories. After the land is subdued, the Israelites divide
Canaan into separate territories, giving each of the tribes of Israel a lasting inheritance.
Judges — Joshua dies, and, almost immediately, the people begin to turn away from the God
who had blessed them. Rather than driving out all the land’s inhabitants, they allow some of the
Canaanites to survive, and the Israelites begin to worship the gods of the Canaanites. True to the
terms of the covenant, God sends enemies to oppress His people. The suffering they endure
causes them to repent, and God responds by sending leaders to rally the people and defeat the
enemies, bringing peace to the land again. This cycle is repeated several times over a span of
about 300 years.
Ruth — During the time of the judges, a famine strikes the land, and a man of Bethlehem takes
his family out of Israel to live in Moab. There, he and his two sons die. His widow, Naomi, returns
to Israel along with one of her daughters-in-law, a Moabitess named Ruth. Back in Bethlehem,
the two women face hardship, and Ruth gathers what food she can by gleaning in a barley field
owned by a man named Boaz. Ruth is noticed by Boaz, and he gives her extra help. Since Boaz is
related to Naomi’s late husband, he has the legal opportunity to redeem the family property and
raise up an heir in the name of the deceased. Ruth asks Boaz to do just that, and Boaz agrees.
He marries Ruth and purchases the property that had belonged to Naomi. Boaz and Ruth
become the great-grandparents of Israel’s greatest king, David.
1 Samuel — In answer to prayer, Samuel is born to a barren woman, who then dedicates her
young son to the tabernacle. Samuel is raised by the judge and high priest, Eli. Early on, Samuel
begins to receive messages from God and becomes known as a prophet. After Eli’s death,
Samuel becomes Israel’s final judge. The people demand a king to make them more like other
nations. Samuel advises against it, but the Lord directs Samuel to grant their request. Samuel
anoints Saul as the first king. Saul starts out well, but he soon begins to act in pride and ignore
God’s commands. God rejects Saul as king and instructs Samuel to anoint another person to
take Saul’s place: that person is David, chosen while still a youth. David becomes famous in Israel
for slaying the Philistine warrior Goliath, and Saul grows jealous to the point of madness. The
king begins to pursue David, whose life is in constant danger as he takes refuge in the
wilderness. Men loyal to David gather to him. Samuel dies, and, later, Saul and his sons are killed
in a battle with the Philistines.
2 Samuel — David is crowned king by his tribesmen in Judah, and they make the city of Hebron
the capital of Judah. After a brief civil war, all the tribes of Israel unite under the leadership of
David, God’s choice. The capital is moved to Jerusalem. God makes a promise to David that a
son of his will rule on the throne forever. David seeks to follow God’s will, and God blesses David
with victories over foreign enemies. Sadly, David falls into the sin of adultery and tries to cover
his sin by having the woman’s husband killed. God pronounces judgment on David’s house, and
trouble begins. David’s daughter is raped by her half-brother, who is then killed by Absalom,
another of David’s sons, in revenge. Absalom then plots to overthrow David and take the throne.
He gains a following, and David and those loyal to him are forced to flee Jerusalem. Absalom is
eventually killed in battle, and David returns home in sorrow. Near the end of his life, David
disobeys God and takes a census of the people, a sin for which God sends judgment on the
nation.
1 Kings — King David dies. His son Solomon takes the throne, but his brother Adonijah
challenges him for it. After repeated attempts to usurp authority from his brother, Adonijah is
executed. King Solomon is blessed by God with great wisdom, riches, and honor. He oversees
the building of the temple in Jerusalem and dedicates it to the Lord in a grand ceremony. Later
in life, Solomon forsakes the path of righteousness and serves other gods. After Solomon’s
death, his son Rehoboam takes the throne, but his foolish choices lead to a civil war, and the
nation is fractured in two. Rehoboam remains king of the southern kingdom, and a man named
Jeroboam is crowned king of the ten tribes to the north. Both kings practice idolatry. Through
the years, David’s dynasty in the southern kingdom occasionally produces a godly king; most of
the kings are wicked, however. The northern kingdom is led by an unbroken series of wicked
rulers, including the idolatrous Ahab and his wife Jezebel, during whose reign God sends a
drought to punish Israel, along with a mighty prophet, Elijah, to point the people back to God.
2 Kings — Elijah is translated to heaven, and Elisha takes his place as God’s prophet in Israel.
Jehu becomes Israel’s king and wipes out the wicked family line of Ahab. In Judah, Ahab’s
daughter becomes queen and attempts to kill all of David’s heirs, but she fails. Wicked kings rule
in both nations, with the exception, in Judah, of a few reformers such as Hezekiah and Josiah.
Israel’s persistent idolatry finally exhausts God’s patience, and He brings the Assyrians against
them to conquer the people of Israel. Later, God brings the Babylonians against Judah as a
judgment, and Jerusalem is destroyed.
1 Chronicles — A genealogy traces God’s people from Adam to the kingdom years, with a focus
on David’s family. The rest of the book covers much of the same material as 1 and 2 Samuel,
with an emphasis on the life of David.
2 Chronicles — This book covers much the same material as 1 and 2 Kings, with an emphasis on
David’s dynasty in Judah. The book begins with the construction of the temple under Solomon,
and it ends with the destruction of the temple by the Babylonians, with a proclamation, in the
last few verses, that the temple would be rebuilt.
Ezra — After 70 years of captivity in a foreign land, the people of Judah are allowed to return to
their homeland to rebuild. A descendant of David named Zerubbabel, together with some
priests, begins to rebuild the temple. Political opposition to the rebuilding forces a halt in
construction for about 15 years. But then the work continues, encouraged by two prophets,
Haggai and Zechariah. About 57 years after the temple is completed, Ezra the scribe arrives in
Jerusalem, bringing with him about 2,000 people, including priests and Levites to serve in the
temple. Ezra finds that the people living in Judah have lapsed into sin, and he calls the people to
repentance and a return to the law of God.
Nehemiah — About 14 years after Ezra’s arrival in Jerusalem, Nehemiah, the king’s cupbearer in
Persia, learns that the walls of Jerusalem are in a state of disrepair. Nehemiah travels to
Jerusalem and oversees the construction of the city walls. He is opposed by enemies of the Jews,
who try to thwart the work with various tactics, but the wall is finished with God’s blessings in
time to observe the Feast of Tabernacles. Ezra reads the book of the law publicly, and the people
of Judah rededicate themselves to following it. The book of Nehemiah begins with sadness and
ends with singing and celebration.
Esther — Some exiled Jews have opted not to return to Jerusalem and have stayed in Persia
instead. Xerxes, the king of Persia, chooses as his new queen a young woman named Esther.
Esther is a Jewess, but she keeps her ethnicity secret at the behest of her cousin Mordecai, who
has raised her. A high-ranking official in the kingdom, a man named Haman, plots a genocide
against all the Jews in the kingdom, and he receives the king’s permission to carry out his plan—
neither he nor the king knowing that the queen is Jewish. Through a series of divinely directed,
perfectly timed events, Haman is killed, Mordecai is honored, and the Jews are spared, with
Queen Esther being instrumental in it all.
Job — A righteous man named Job suffers a series of terrible tragedies that take away his
wealth, his family, and his health. Even after losing everything, Job does not curse God. Three
friends come to commiserate with Job, but they eventually speak their minds about the
situation, advancing the notion that God is punishing Job for some secret sin. Job denies any
sinfulness on his part, yet in his pain he cries out to God for answers—he trusts God, but he also
wants God to explain Himself. In the end, God shows up and overwhelms Job with His majesty,
wisdom, and power. God restores Job’s fortune, health, and family, but the answer to why Job
had suffered God never answers.
Inleiding tot die Bybel – Bybel Samevattings
Josua — Moses se opvolger, Josua, lei die kinders van Israel oor die Jordaanrivier (wat
wonderbaarlik deur God geskei is) en Kanaän binne. God werp die stad Jerigo omver deur sy
mure om te slaan. Josua lei die volk in ‘n suksesvolle veldtog om die hele Kanaän te verower.
Met enkele uitsonderings bly die Israeliete getrou aan hul belofte om hul verbond met God te
hou, en God seën hulle met militêre oorwinnings. Nadat die land onderwerp is, verdeel die
Israeliete Kanaän in afsonderlike gebiede, wat aan elkeen van die stamme van Israel ‘n blywende
erfenis gee.
Rigters — Josua sterf, en byna onmiddellik begin die mense wegdraai van die God wat hulle
geseën het. Eerder as om al die land se inwoners te verdryf, laat hulle van die Kanaäniete toe om
te oorleef, en die Israeliete begin die gode van die Kanaäniete aanbid. Getrou aan die bepalings
van die verbond, stuur God vyande om sy volk te onderdruk. Die lyding wat hulle verduur laat
hulle tot bekering kom, en God reageer deur leiers te stuur om die mense byeen te bring en die
vyande te verslaan en weer vrede in die land te bring. Hierdie siklus word verskeie kere oor ‘n
bestek van ongeveer 300 jaar herhaal.
Rut — Gedurende die tyd van die rigters tref ‘n hongersnood die land, en ‘n man van Betlehem
neem sy familie uit Israel om in Moab te gaan woon. Daar sterf hy en sy twee seuns. Sy
weduwee, Naomi, keer terug na Israel saam met een van haar skoondogters, ‘n Moabitiese vrou
met die naam Rut. Terug in Bethlehem kom die twee vroue swaar in die gesig, en Rut maak die
kos wat sy kan bymekaarmaak deur in ‘n garsland op te tel wat deur ‘n man met die naam Boas
besit word. Rut word deur Boas opgemerk, en hy gee haar ekstra hulp. Aangesien Boas verwant
is aan Naomi se oorlede man, het hy die wettige geleentheid om die familie-eiendom te los en
‘n erfgenaam in die naam van die oorledene groot te maak. Rut vra vir Boas om dit te doen, en
Boas stem in. Hy trou met Rut en koop die eiendom wat aan Naomi behoort het. Boas en Rut
word die oupagrootouers van Israel se grootste koning, Dawid.
1 Samuel — In antwoord op gebed word Samuel gebore uit ‘n onvrugbare vrou, wat dan haar
jong seun aan die tabernakel wy. Samuel word grootgemaak deur die regter en hoëpriester, Eli.
Samuel begin vroeg boodskappe van God ontvang en word as ‘n profeet bekend. Na Eli se dood
word Samuel Israel se finale regter. Die mense eis ‘n koning om hulle meer soos ander nasies te
maak. Samuel raai daarteen aan, maar die Here beveel Samuel om hulle versoek toe te staan.
Samuel salf Saul as die eerste koning. Saul begin goed, maar hy begin gou met trots optree en
God se opdragte ignoreer. God verwerp Saul as koning en gee Samuel opdrag om ‘n ander
persoon te salf om Saul se plek in te neem: daardie persoon is Dawid, uitverkies toe hy nog ‘n
jongmens was. Dawid word beroemd in Israel omdat hy die Filistynse vegter Goliat doodgemaak
het, en Saul raak jaloers tot die punt van waansin. Die koning begin Dawid agtervolg, wie se
lewe voortdurend in gevaar is terwyl hy in die woestyn skuil. Manne lojaal aan Dawid kom by
hom bymekaar. Samuel sterf, en later word Saul en sy seuns in ‘n geveg met die Filistyne
gedood.
2 Samuel – Dawid word deur sy stamme in Juda as koning gekroon, en hulle maak die stad
Hebron die hoofstad van Juda. Na ‘n kort burgeroorlog verenig al die stamme van Israel onder
leiding van Dawid, God se keuse. Die hoofstad word na Jerusalem verskuif. God maak ‘n belofte
aan Dawid dat ‘n seun van hom vir ewig op die troon sal regeer. Dawid probeer om God se wil
te volg, en God seën Dawid met oorwinnings oor vreemde vyande. Ongelukkig verval Dawid in
die sonde van owerspel en probeer sy sonde bedek deur die vrou se man te laat vermoor. God
spreek oordeel oor Dawid se huis uit, en moeilikheid begin. Dawid se dogter word deur haar
halfbroer verkrag, wat dan uit wraak deur Absalom, nog een van Dawid se seuns, vermoor word.
Absalom beplan dan om Dawid omver te werp en die troon te neem. Hy kry ‘n aanhang, en
Dawid en diegene wat aan hom lojaal is, word gedwing om uit Jerusalem te vlug. Absalom word
uiteindelik in die geveg dood, en Dawid keer in hartseer terug huis toe. Na aan die einde van sy
lewe is Dawid ongehoorsaam aan God en neem ‘n sensus van die mense, ‘n sonde waarvoor
God oordeel oor die nasie stuur.
1 Konings — Koning Dawid sterf. Sy seun Salomo neem die troon in, maar sy broer Adonia
daag hom uit daarvoor. Na herhaalde pogings om gesag van sy broer toe te neem, word Adonia
tereggestel. Koning Salomo word deur God geseën met groot wysheid, rykdom en eer. Hy hou
toesig oor die bou van die tempel in Jerusalem en dra dit in ‘n groot seremonie aan die Here op.
Later in sy lewe verlaat Salomo die pad van geregtigheid en dien hy ander gode. Na Salomo se
dood neem sy seun Rehabeam die troon, maar sy dwase keuses lei tot ‘n burgeroorlog, en die
nasie is in twee gebreek. Rehabeam bly koning van die suidelike koninkryk, en ‘n man met die
naam Jerobeam word gekroon as koning van die tien stamme in die noorde. Beide konings
beoefen afgodediens. Deur die jare het Dawid se dinastie in die suidelike koninkryk soms ‘n
godvrugtige koning voortgebring; die meeste van die konings is egter goddeloos. Die
noordelike koninkryk word gelei deur ‘n ononderbroke reeks goddelose heersers, insluitend die
afgodsdienaars Agab en sy vrou Isebel, gedurende wie se heerskappy God ‘n droogte stuur om
Israel te straf, saam met ‘n magtige profeet, Elia, om die volk na God terug te wys.
2 Konings — Elia word na die hemel vertaal, en Elisa neem sy plek in as God se profeet in Israel.
Jehu word Israel se koning en wis die goddelose familielyn van Agab uit. In Juda word Agab se
dogter koningin en probeer om al Dawid se erfgename dood te maak, maar sy misluk.
Goddelose konings regeer in beide nasies, met die uitsondering, in Juda, van ‘n paar hervormers
soos Hiskia en Josia. Israel se volgehoue afgodery maak uiteindelik God se geduld op, en Hy
bring die Assiriërs teen hulle om die volk Israel te oorwin. Later bring God die Babiloniërs teen
Juda as ‘n oordeel, en Jerusalem word vernietig.
1 Kronieke — ‘n Geslagsregister volg God se volk vanaf Adam tot die koninkryksjare, met die
fokus op Dawid se familie. Die res van die boek dek baie van dieselfde materiaal as 1 en 2
Samuel, met die klem op die lewe van Dawid.
2 Kronieke — Hierdie boek dek baie dieselfde materiaal as 1 en 2 Konings, met die klem op
Dawid se dinastie in Juda. Die boek begin met die bou van die tempel onder Salomo, en dit
eindig met die vernietiging van die tempel deur die Babiloniërs, met ‘n proklamasie, in die laaste
paar verse, dat die tempel herbou sou word.
Esra — Na 70 jaar van ballingskap in ‘n vreemde land, word die mense van Juda toegelaat om
na hul vaderland terug te keer om te herbou. ‘n Afstammeling van Dawid met die naam
Serubbabel, saam met ‘n paar priesters, begin om die tempel te herbou. Politieke opposisie teen
die herbou dwing ‘n stilstand in konstruksie vir ongeveer 15 jaar. Maar dan gaan die werk voort,
aangemoedig deur twee profete, Haggai en Sagaria. Ongeveer 57 jaar nadat die tempel voltooi
is, kom Esra, die skrifgeleerde, in Jerusalem aan en bring sowat 2 000 mense saam met hom,
insluitend priesters en Leviete om in die tempel te dien. Esra vind dat die mense wat in Juda
woon, in sonde verval het, en hy roep die mense op tot bekering en ‘n terugkeer na die wet van
God.
Nehemia — Ongeveer 14 jaar na Esra se aankoms in Jerusalem, verneem Nehemia, die koning
se skinker in Persië, dat die mure van Jerusalem in ‘n toestand van verval is. Nehemia reis na
Jerusalem en hou toesig oor die bou van die stadsmure. Hy word teëgestaan deur vyande van
die Jode, wat probeer om die werk met verskeie taktieke te stuit, maar die muur is klaargemaak
met God se seëninge betyds om die Huttefees te onderhou. Esra lees die boek van die wet in die
openbaar, en die mense van Juda wy hulle opnuut daaraan om dit te volg. Die boek Nehemia
begin met hartseer en eindig met sang en feesviering.
Ester — Sommige Jode in ballingskap het gekies om nie na Jerusalem terug te keer nie en het
eerder in Persië gebly. Xerxes, die koning van Persië, kies ‘n jong vrou met die naam Ester as sy
nuwe koningin. Ester is ‘n Jodin, maar sy hou haar etnisiteit geheim in opdrag van haar neef
Mordegai, wat haar grootgemaak het. ‘n Hooggeplaaste amptenaar in die koninkryk, ‘n man met
die naam Haman, beplan ‘n volksmoord teen al die Jode in die koninkryk, en hy ontvang die
koning se toestemming om sy plan uit te voer – nie hy of die koning wat weet dat die koningin
Joods is nie. Deur ‘n reeks goddelike gerigte, perfek getimede gebeure, word Haman vermoor,
Mordegai word geëer, en die Jode word gespaar, met koningin Ester wat instrumenteel is in dit
alles.
Job — ‘n Regverdige man met die naam Job ly aan ‘n reeks verskriklike tragedies wat sy
rykdom, sy gesin en sy gesondheid wegneem. Selfs nadat hy alles verloor het, vloek Job nie vir
God nie. Drie vriende kom saam met Job, maar hulle praat uiteindelik oor die situasie en
bevorder die idee dat God Job straf vir een of ander geheime sonde. Job ontken enige
sondigheid aan sy kant, maar in sy pyn roep hy na God vir antwoorde – hy vertrou God, maar hy
wil ook hê dat God Homself moet verduidelik. Op die ou end daag God op en oorweldig Job
met Sy majesteit, wysheid en krag. God herstel Job se fortuin, gesondheid en familie, maar die
antwoord op hoekom Job gely het God antwoord nooit.
