guh-ZEL
This creature shows up in 1 Kings 4:23: “ten head of fat cattle, twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
1 Kings 4:23
“ten head of fat cattle, twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gazelle in 1 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Kings 4:23 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
