a) Lift up your spears and javelins,
b) Both large and small,
c) Against those who chase and pursue me.
d) Tell my soul:
e) "I will save you, I am your Salvation and Victory."

'Lock.'

b) 2 Samuel 20:3. David thoughtlessly locked up women.
c) Jeremiah 20:2; 33:1. Jeremiah was locked up in prison.

We sometimes hear very unbalanced teaching regarding Bible Characters. I think one of the main reasons of the lifetime records of the Bible is to show us that no human person is perfect! To look to the Christ of the Scriptures is very faith-inspiring and helpful. Let us learn the lessons that we need to learn from these Characters and press on with our walk with the Lord.
