fish in 2 Chronicles 33
FISH
This creature shows up in 2 Chronicles 33:14: “Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate.…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
2 Chronicles 33:14
“Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.”
What kids can learn
When you hear fish in 2 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Chronicles 33:14 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
