The Israelites, however, were unfaithful regarding the things set apart for destruction. Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart, and the LORD’s anger burned against the Israelites.

The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them and chased them from outside the city gate to the quarries, striking them down on the descent. As a result, the people lost heart.

And I said,“ Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”

Israel has sinned. They have violated my covenant that I appointed for them. They have taken some of what was set apart. They have stolen, deceived, and put those things with their own belongings.This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you what is set apart.

For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear.They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.

For there are many rebellious people, full of empty talk and deception, especially those from the circumcision party.It is necessary to silence them; they are ruining entire households by teaching what they shouldn’t in order to get money dishonestly.

Then one of the troops said,“ Your father made the troops solemnly swear,‘ The man who eats food today is cursed,’ and the troops are exhausted.”Jonathan replied,“ My father has brought trouble to the land. Just look at how I have renewed energy because I tasted a little of this honey.

Avoid irreverent and empty speech, since those who engage in it will produce even more godlessness,and their teaching will spread like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are among them.They have departed from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are ruining the faith of some.

and then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth and will bring him to nothing at the appearance of his coming.The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with every kind of miracle, both signs and wonders serving the lie,and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved.For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe the lie,so that all will be condemned— those who did not believe the truth but delighted in unrighteousness.

Wasn’t Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath on the entire community of Israel? He was not the only one who perished because of his iniquity.’”

Saul said,“ Let’s go down after the Philistines tonight and plunder them until morning. Don’t let even one remain!”“ Do whatever you want,” the troops replied. But the priest said,“ Let’s approach God here.”So Saul inquired of God,“ Should I go after the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But God did not answer him that day.Saul said,“ All you leaders of the troops, come here. Let’s investigate how this sin has occurred today.As surely as the LORD lives who saves Israel, even if it is because of my son Jonathan, he must die!” Not one of the troops answered him.So he said to all Israel,“ You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.” And the troops replied,“ Do whatever you want.”So Saul said to the LORD,“ God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant today? If the unrighteousness is in me or in my son Jonathan, LORD God of Israel, give Urim; but if the fault is in your people Israel, give Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were selected, and the troops were cleared of the charge.Then Saul said,“ Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan,” and Jonathan was selected.Saul commanded him,“ Tell me what you did.” Jonathan told him,“ I tasted a little honey with the end of the staff I was carrying. I am ready to die!”Saul declared to him,“ May God punish me and do so severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”But the people said to Saul,“ Must Jonathan die? He accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel! No, as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he worked with God’s help today.” So the people redeemed Jonathan, and he did not die.Then Saul gave up the pursuit of the Philistines, and the Philistines returned to their own territory.

Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and defiling many.And make sure that there isn’t any immoral or irreverent person like Esau, who sold his birthright in exchange for a single meal.

Just as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth. They are men who are corrupt in mind and worthless in regard to the faith.

Now a wicked man, a Benjaminite named Sheba son of Bichri, happened to be there. He blew the ram’s horn and shouted: We have no portion in David, no inheritance in Jesse’s son. Each man to his tent, Israel!So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bichri, but the men of Judah from the Jordan all the way to Jerusalem remained loyal to their king.
