Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 10
jer-OO-suh-lem
This place shows up in 2 Samuel 10:14: “When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Samuel 10:14
“When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.”
What kids can learn
When you hear jerusalem in 2 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Samuel 10:14 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
