Places
Carmel in 1 Samuel 30
KAR-mul
This place shows up in 1 Samuel 30:5: “David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Samuel 30:5
“David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.”
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 30:5 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
