hare in 1 Samuel 13
HAIR
This creature shows up in 1 Samuel 13:20: “but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
1 Samuel 13:20
“but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hare in 1 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Samuel 13:20 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
