Hundreds of years earlier, Israel had made a covenant with the Gibeonites (Joshua 9). A few decades before today’s reading, Saul had broken that covenant. Now, his family would reap what he had sown. It is a tragic reading (vv. 1-9), but it reminds me that my grandchildren could pay a high price someday for my sins. They will not bear the guilt of my sins, but they could reap the consequences. I will use this truth to decide not to sow any “wild oats” that they might have to reap (Exodus 20:4-6).
