Today's reading shows the strength of David and his continued rise into power. He continues to follow the Word of God and not that of the people. He also continues to hurt those that think the death of Saul was a good thing.
Today's proverb reminds us to listen to the words and the wisdom that we are given. To trust in the Lord and remember that his Word is for us and that he is always talking to us if we open our hearts and minds and listen. This can definitely be difficult as we are often in our heads way too much and overthink all that we are given.

I am still not understanding all of what is going on. I think David is rising in power, but there are killings that keep happening and I don't quite understand why. Not sure why but I seem kind of lost in this chapter. I think they are trying to avenge someone and then David is saying they did the wrong thing and killing them for killing someone else.
This section is titled Thirty Sayings of the Wise. So more wisdom to follow in order to lead a Godly life.
