Yesterday, I got to be a scribe.
For about 15 minutes or so...
The Bible Across America RV came to Huntsville yesterday and camped out at Mayfair. It was really cool to be a part this. The verse I wrote was 2 Samuel 17:15. It says:
"Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, "Ahithophel has advised Absalom
and the elders of Israel to do such and such, but I have advised them to do so and so."
Random verse, yes. But I think it is funny that is says "such and such" and "so and so." And now I am intrigued. I plan on exploring 2 Samuel a little more. I don't think I know very much about what's going on here. Who knows, maybe I will discover something really cool here.
(Sidenote: Do any of you have any favorite stories from 2 Samuel?)
Here's a little info about the Bible Across America.
You can check out the website for more details.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible, the best-selling translation with more than 300 million copies in print, Zondervan has launched Bible Across America, a cross-country RV tour. Bible Across America features an RV, piloted by a four-person team, that is traveling across the continental United States, making stops at churches, universities, retail stores and special events where people are invited to contribute a verse to complete a handwritten Bible – America's NIV. |

hey! I blogged it yesterday too! I wrote 2 sam 17:10, and jon wrote 2 sam 17:12..you and jason were RIGHT after us, apparently, and I didn't even see you! I saw Corey, though...
the such and such and so and so part is funny! I just didn't want a genealogy! I didn't want to write 8 "begats"!
I don't know a whole lot about 2 sam specifically. Some of the stories, yes, but the whole book? No.
I must say that you looked much more scholarly and very smart and (WHISPER) sexy librarianish than I did. I came as a gym rat in gross clothes straight from the gym...i forbade any pictures of me! :) can you believe that? ha!
HAHA! Your whispered comment made me laugh out loud! I sure love you Stacy Stacy!
I don't think I've ever read a "whispered comment" on a blog before.
I love the Samuel books. I lobbied hard for "Samuel" when we were deliberating on what to name Jackson, but it wasn't a favorite of Sunny's. (She would've been cool with Samuel as a middle name, but I wanted "Cash" instead!) Samuel is probably my favorite Bible character, or if not my favorite, he's at least on the short list. I've got a great commentary on Samuel if you ever want to borrow it.
I might have to do that. I need a refresher on Samuel. I remember learning about him in one of my Bible classes at Faulkner.... unfortunately for me, I think it was one of the 7am classes.... thus the retention level there is pretty low.... yeah...
