Reading for July 26th

 Read 1 Kings 1.38-53. In verse 38: The Cherethites 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 protections from each corner of the sacrificial altar. Since the altar was holy, grasping the horns was a way of seeking sanctuary from execution. Comments or Questions..
