Jerusalem in 1 Samuel 17

This place shows up in 1 Samuel 17:54: “David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.

1 Samuel 17:54

“David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.”

What kids can learn

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

Read 1 Samuel 17:54 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
