At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

2022 3:1-2 – 1 Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess: 2 The third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur: the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith [cf. Josh. 13:7-13 – Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them; From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon; And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon; And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out. Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

II Cor. 6:14-16 – Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. There were Geshurites both east of Jordan (Josh. 13:7-11) and between Israel and Egypt (I Sam. 27:8). But the only reference specifying a location of Geshur is Geshur in Syria (II Sam. 15:8), which would be associated with the Geshurites east of Jordan. Probably the Geshurites between Israel and Egypt were nomads who had left their native territory.] 4:9 – And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.

I Pet. 1:6-7 – Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ] 4:10 – And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!

John 17:15 – I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. II Thess. 3:3 – But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. Ps. 34:12-14 – What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.] 4:23 – These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work. [cf. Prov. 22:29 – Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.] 5:1 – Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity. [cf. Ps. 37:3 – Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.] 5:20 – And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him. [cf. Ps. 4:5 – Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. Ps. 37:3 – Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Ps. 115:11 – Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. Ps. 118:8 – It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Ps. 118:9 – It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. Ps. 125:1 – They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Prov. 3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Prov. 29:25 – The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. I Tim. 6:17 – Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy]
2021 3:1-9 – [In Hebron David had at least six wives, in Jerusalem at least Bath-shua (called Bath-sheba in I Kings 1:11 and elsewhere) who bore at least four sons, and undoubtedly other wives that are not named, besides concubines.] 4:18 – And these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took. [Solomon was not the only man from the tribe of Judah who married a daughter of Pharaoh. Judah was the part of Israel closest to Egypt.] 4:21 – The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the father of Lecah ... [Apparently Shelah named his firstborn son after his brother who had died (Gen. 38:1-7).] 4:22 – And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and
Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and
Jashubi-lehem. And these are ancient things.
[Moab was conquered by David (II Sam. 8:2), and would have been under the
control of Judah for a period of time. But by the time this genealogy was
written, these would have been ancient
things – "the good old days" when Judah ruled
Moab and before Judah was carried away and exiled in Babylon.] 4:28-31 – 28 And they [Simeonites] dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual, 29 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad, 30 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag, 31 And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-birei, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David. [Of these, at least Ziklag was given to David and became the property of the kings of Judah (I Sam. 27:5-6). Later, in the days of Hezekiah, some of the Simeonites destroyed the inhabitants of Gedor and moved there (v. 41). Others moved to mount Seir after they conquered the Amalekites who had escaped to there (vv. 42-43).] 5:9 – And eastward he [the tribe of Reuben] inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. 5:17 – All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
