Reading for August 16th

Read 1 Kings 20.35-43
In verse 39: A talent was a measure of weight between 45 and 130 pounds.
In verse 42; Devotion to destruction was an aspect of holy war in which the enemy was killed as a kind of sacrifice.
The king of Israel is condemned for not carrying out Yahweh's command, much the same as Saul is condemned in 1 Sam 15 for the same offense.
