This Carmel was a city in the mountains of Judah, ten miles south of
Hebron. See Joshua 15:55. Though a descendant of Caleb, Nabal had none
of that hero's spir...

We now have the account of Samuel's death. Notwithstanding all
Israel's failure to realize his high ideals, it was impossible that
they should not recognize his greatness, and it is easy to believe

David's moral victory over Saul and over his own natural instincts has
been most admirable. However, in this chapter we see him showing just
the opposite attitude. It seems hardly possible that this c...
