Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse Delivered in the Unitarian Church, Charleston, S. C. On the Day of National Fasting: Appointed in Consequence of the Death of President Harrison 2 Samuel, 3:38. And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? The kingdom of Israel had been divided into two great parties, and a long war had continued between the house of Saul and the house of David. At length, Abner, the son of Ner, a man of large military genius and achievements, threw the whole weight of his character and exertions into the scale of David, and the distracted affairs of the kingdom were beginning to wear an aspect of composure and of hope, when suddenly the death of Abner occurred, and involved the whole nation anew in perplexity and gloom. The scripture, in its beautiful simplicity, while giving an account of these things, remarks, that they buried Abner in Hebron, (which, at that time, was the seat of government in Israel :) and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept. And the king lamented over Abner, and all the people wept again over him. And the king said unto his servants, "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"
