Next Jesse summoned Shimea, but Samuel said,“ Neither is this the one the Lord has chosen.”

For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.

So he sent for a woman from Tekoa who had a reputation for great wisdom. He said to her,“ Pretend you are in mourning; wear mourning clothes and don’t put on lotions. Act like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for a long time.

“ My people are foolish and do not know me,” says the Lord.“ They are stupid children who have no understanding. They are clever enough at doing wrong, but they have no idea how to do right!”

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,“ He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”

However, he restrained himself and went on home. Then Haman gathered together his friends and Zeresh, his wife,

So Haman’s wife, Zeresh, and all his friends suggested,“ Set up a sharpened pole that stands seventy five feet tall, and in the morning ask the king to impale Mordecai on it. When this is done, you can go on your merry way to the banquet with the king.” This pleased Haman, and he ordered the pole set up.

Later Judah asked his friend Hirah the Adullamite to take the young goat to the woman and to pick up the things he had given her as his guarantee. But Hirah couldn’t find her.

Many seek favors from a ruler; everyone is the friend of a person who gives gifts!

So his wife was given in marriage to the man who had been Samson’s best man at the wedding.

“ Did Joab put you up to this?” And the woman replied,“ My lord the king, how can I deny it? Nobody can hide anything from you. Yes, Joab sent me and told me what to say.He did it to place the matter before you in a different light. But you are as wise as an angel of God, and you understand everything that happens among us!”

But just then Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimea, arrived and said,“ No, don’t believe that all the king’s sons have been killed! It was only Amnon! Absalom has been plotting this ever since Amnon raped his sister Tamar.

About this time, Judah left home and moved to Adullam, where he stayed with a man named Hirah.

The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman,“ Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

When Haman told his wife, Zeresh, and all his friends what had happened, his wise advisers and his wife said,“ Since Mordecai— this man who has humiliated you— is of Jewish birth, you will never succeed in your plans against him. It will be fatal to continue opposing him.”
