[:en]Thoughts from 1 Chronicles 20[:]

[:en]Joab led the armed forces and attacked Rabbah in the land of Ammonites.  David took the crown of the king and a great quantity of plunder.  He brought out the people there and consigned them to labor.  They also fought wars with the Philistines and killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath.[:]

[:en]Thoughts from 1 Chronicles 16[:]

[:en]David’s Psalms of thanks focused on the Lord (v. 8).  He reminded the people of God’s works (v. 12), His words (v. 15), His deeds (v. 24), His glory and strength (vs. 28-29).  Let us worship God with praise, thanks and offerings.[:]
