staff in 2 Samuel 23
STAF
This thing shows up in 2 Samuel 23:7: “But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Samuel 23:7
“But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.””
What kids can learn
When you hear staff in 2 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Samuel 23:7 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
