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.
