prev Phil Irish - 3 July 2000 next
Hi there.
The quiz just asked me how Saul died. The program used 2 Samuel 21:12 to
claim that the Philistines killed Saul. Of course, the detailed account at
1 Samuel 31:4 makes it clear that Saul killed himself to prevent the
Philistines from having that pleasure. Ah: the beautiful complexity of the
sacred text!
... later that day ...
OK -- I get it! I just went back and looked at the site again. Of course,
all of the questions have multiple answers. This is very very nice.
Excellent!
Thanks.
