MAY THE LORD OF ISRAEL ALWAYS PROTECT THE I.D.F.

For my lord fights the wars of the Lord. And let no evil be found in you all your days.

SAMUEL I (25:28)
 

כִּי מִלְחֲמוֹת יְ-הֹוָה אֲדֹנִי נִלְחָם וְרָעָה לֹא תִמָּצֵא בְךָ מִיָּמֶיךָ

שמואל א כה:כח

kee mil-kha-mot a-do-nai a-do-nee nil-kham v'-ra-a lo ti-ma-tzay v'-kha
mi-ya-me-kha

Today's Israel Inspiration

Incredibly we find one of the ethical foundations of the Israeli army right here in today's verse. The prophetess Abigail reminds King David that he may only fight God's wars - which at that time were against the Philistines - and not wars of vengeance against his enemies. To this day, the nation of Israel is required to defend itself and to strengthen the Promised Land. Other wars are not permitted. Today the soldiers and citizens of Israel are facing a continued wave of terror, and though the world media is now silent, Israel is still under attack.
