plow in 1 Samuel 8
PLOW
This thing shows up in 1 Samuel 8:12: “He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plow his ground, and to reap…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
1 Samuel 8:12
“He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.”
What kids can learn
When you hear plow in 1 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Samuel 8:12 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
