There had been an ongoing famine in Israel for 3 years. When King David inquired of God as to why, he found out it was because of King Saul's sin against the Gibeonites. Because of Saul's sin, 2 of his sons and 5 of his grandsons suffered an early death as payment for Saul's sin. His sons' mother was Rizpah; his grandsons' mother was Merab.
Rizpah's actions were recorded for all to read. Her story of dedication and perseverance showed as she sat there protecting the remains of the innocent lives lost. Her vigil prompted King David to provide proper burials to Saul and his family. The famine also came to an end.
This study is packed with stories from the Bible, to show that healing is available through Jesus Christ.
Because of Jesus Christ we are "free from the law of sin and of death." (Romans 8:2b NASB)
