Rizpah - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read 2 Samuel 21:1 – 14.

1. The killings pretty much wiped out Saul’s male descendants. Why would David order such wholesale executions?

2. Rizpah’s vigil probably lasted several months. What do you think she went through during that time? What kept her going?

3. What do you think induced David to gather up these bones and bury them?

4. What hard or risky thing can you imagine yourself doing with the passion and determination of Rizpah?

5. How is God’s love for you like Rizpah’s love for her children?
