Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Animals In The Bible

Mule

New International Version (NIV)

6 David’s army marched out of the city to fight Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim. 7 There Israel’s troops were routed by David’s men, and the casualties that day were great—twenty thousand men. 8 The battle spread out over the whole countryside, and the forest swallowed up more men that day than the sword.

9 Now Absalom happened to meet David’s men. He was riding his mule, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s hair got caught in the tree. He was left hanging in midair, while the mule he was riding kept on going.

10 When one of the men saw what had happened, he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree.”

11 Joab said to the man who had told him this, “What! You saw him? Why didn’t you strike him to the ground right there? Then I would have had to give you ten shekels of silver and a warrior’s belt.”

12 But the man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels were weighed out into my hands, I would not lay a hand on the king’s son. In our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.[d]’ 13 And if I had put my life in—and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have kept your distance from me.”
(2 Samuel 18)


32 King David said, “Call in Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” When they came before the king, 33 he said to them: “Take your lord’s servants with you and have Solomon my son mount my own mule and take him down to Gihon. 34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Then you are to go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”

36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, “Amen! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, so declare it. 37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon to make his throne even greater than the throne of my lord King David!”

38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon mount King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon. 39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him, playing pipes and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.
(1 Kings 1:38)

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

In preparing for today's study of Animals in the Bible, I was surprised to see only two references to the common creature known as a Mule. The Mule is a cross between a Donkey and a Horse, is a sterile creature that does not reproduce, and combines the qualities of both the Horse and the Donkey to provide a very useful animal.

What surprised me was that BOTH Passages involved sons of David, Absalom and Solomon. (both of these Hebrew names are rooted in the word "Shalom", meaning "Peace".)

Absalom led a revolt against his own father David, slept with his father's harem, and took up residence in the Royal Palace. These were egregious sins, and yet, when Absalom was killed, David was so grief-stricken that he had to be "Straightened out" by his trusted advisers. The Mule, in this instance, was the instrument of Absalom's Death.

Solomon, on the other hand, was the second son of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. Their first baby died as a direct result of David's sin, but the second baby, Solomon, was destined to become a Great Ruler of Israel. As David lies on his deathbed, Bathsheba works hard to guarantee that her adult son Solomon is the Successor to the Throne.
Solomon is seated upon David's personal animal, a mule, to indicate that he will also be seated upon David's Throne. In this case, the Mule is the vehicle for a Son of David to rise rather than to fall.

Please, when you see the Arabic symbol pictured below, remember to say a prayer for our persecuted Brothers and Sisters in the Middle East. Thank You!

Come and Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Israeli Nation!

"Solomon Proclaimed King - Riding On The Mule"
Rembrandt Van Rijn- c.1637

"Zadok The Priest"
(Coronation Anthem No. 1)
Georg Friedrich Händel
Choir of King's College, Cambridge
(Click)

"AND NATHAN SAID, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.

But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.

Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.

Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon."

From the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
