Әмма аның бөтен өмете Раббыда – Үз Алласында иде. Әхимәлик углы булган Абъятар руханига: – Эфодны алып кил әле, – диде ул. Абъятар аңа эфодны алып килде, һәм Давыт: – Гаиләләребезне куып алып киткән дошман чирүен эзәрлекләп чыгыйммы? Куып җитә алырмынмы мин аларны? – дип, Раббыга мөрәҗәгать итте. Раббы аңа: – Эзәрлекләп чык, куып җитәрсең һәм гаиләләрегезне азат итәрсең, – диде.
What Does This Mean?
In this verse, David asks Abiathar, the priest and son of Ahimelech, to bring him the ephod, a special vest used for divination. David is seeking divine guidance through the ephod.
Explained for Children
Imagine David is like a captain of a big ship who needs to make a big decision. He asks his helper, Abiathar, to bring a special tool that helps them talk to God and get advice, kind of like asking a wise grandparent for help.
Historical Background
This verse is from the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel, written by the prophet Samuel and others around 1000 BCE. It was written for the Israelites to understand the actions and decisions of their leaders, especially King David, in times of conflict and crisis.
Living It Out Today
When facing a difficult decision, like choosing between two colleges, we can seek guidance from trusted sources and even pray for divine direction, much like David sought advice through the ephod.
