2015DBRP_117 Josh12-13 Ps72 Acts23a


God fought for Israel in yesterday's reading, even causing the sun and moon to stand still. Basically the main central body of land was conquered in only two campaigns.

It is clear that this psalm, written by King Solomon— or more likely written about King Solomon, goes beyond Solomon, giving adoration to the King of Kings.

 

Translation notes:

A psalm [for/of] Solomon.

NET tn The preposition could be understood as indicating authorship (“Of Solomon”), but since the psalm is a prayer for a king, it may be that the superscription reflects a tradition that understood this as a prayer for Solomon.

 

6May [our/the] king’s rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass,

like the showers that water the earth.

Paul gave his defense from the top of the stairway leading to the military headquarters. In spite of the miracles in his story, the mob was not impressed. It was the word ‘Gentiles’ that caused the final violent reaction.
