2 Samuel 1:1-16

David hears of the death of Saul and Jonathan and mourns.
Subtitle of this section: the just rewards of the brown-noser! The Amalekite didn't really do it (see 1 Samuel 31) but thought he could curry favor with David by taking credit anyway.

Questions: 1) Think of a time when you were tempted to shade the truth to advance your career. How did it work out? How did you feel when you were doing it? 2) Read Psalms 75:7 and Matthew 23:12. What is God's counsel about His role in career advancement?

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. (Abraham Lincoln)

And as it turns out, you cannot fool David!
