Today was a good day

Well we had a good day. church was good and the day went well, I thought I was going to finish chapter 18 of the Book of Psalm but Man I couldn't get out of the mercy of God that David so wonderfully put it in this chapter. Was caught up on the coming of the Lord this morning. I cant wait for that day but cant help to wonder about those left behind. You know Jesus is all I need in this wicked and dieing world. Troubles and trials may come and Satan will roar but it is being anchored in Jesus that is my hope.

good to hear, I was also teaching on David today but got stumped on naming the 7 brothers that were brought before Samuel, before they went to get David I found the Lineage of Jesse where be begat all his sons in 1st chronicles, but it never mentions the 7th brother. 1st Samuel chapter 16 vs 10 says there were 7 before David, in 1st chronicles 2 vs 25 you see all the begats, my bible dictionary has a diagram it shows a blank on his name, but in parenthesis it says Eihu, couldn't find anything on this guy, a little help, thanks.

i didnt find anything on eihu but i found
1 Chronicles 27:18 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:
the david mentioned here is king david,,
King David's first six brothers are listed in 1 Chronicles 2:13-15: Eliab, Abinadab, Shimea, Nethanel, Raddai and Ozem. His other brother is not named anywhere in the Bible. Elsewhere, we learn that David had a brother named Elihu (1 Chr. 27:18), which may be the name of his seventh brother, or which may simply be a variant form of "Eliab." Also, the Bible speaks of "Shammah/Shimeah/Shimei" as David's brother, but all these are most likely variants of "Shimea" (without doubt this is the case with at least "Shammah" [1 Sam. 17:13]). If his seventh brother is not named in the genealogies, it may be because he died without children.
