TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.” (Judges 1:20 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Jerusalem was not only located on the border between Judah and Benjamin, but also divided between the two tribes. Yet, the Jebusites continued to dwell in it, because neither Judah nor Benjamin could ever completely drive them out of it.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Israel’s inability to rid Jerusalem of its insolent inhabitants explains the Jebusites’ taunting of King David, by whom they were finally conquered and Jerusalem finally captured. (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9)
