Carmel in 1 Samuel 25

This place shows up in 1 Samuel 25:2: “There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats;…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.

1 Samuel 25:2

“There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.”

What kids can learn

When you hear carmel in 1 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.

Read 1 Samuel 25:2 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
