Reading for June 27th

Read 1 Kings 1.38-53
In verse  38: The Cerethites and Pelethites were the royal bodyguard; they were Philistines or associated with the Philistines.
In verse 39: Anointing was a way of designating a person for some special office.
It involved dripping or smearing fine olive oil on the person's head.
In verse 50: The horns of the altar were projections from each corner of a sacrificial altar.
Since the altar was holy, grasping the horns was a way of seeking sanctuary from execution.
