The One Year Bible - Day 185

We see a few places in the OT that a king is killed or taken prisoner and one of his brothers is installed in his place. I'm not sure whether you've ever thought about it but if your brother was killed by someone who then wanted you to be king, what would you say? It would appear however that some people are so addicted to power that their integrity is passed by to gain an opportunity. It also reminds us that some people would rather have someone in leadership who agrees with them rather than someone who is the right person for the job.
