It may reference those that do not hold out for propriety or those that cannot or will not restrain themselves or bear discomfort, instead taking easiest relief in matters of personal concern. God sorts in rather graphic fashion in many instances winnowing down the troops so to speak, so that when victory is at hand it is known that it can only be of God's will and pleasure and not by the works and will of man. On a personal note; one long long long time ago many were lined up at the latrine at a Boy Scout jamboree. Too many to accommodate the need of the flesh to relieve in time. So many stepped out of line, one after another, until there was a majority marking against the cabin wall so to speak. That didn't go too well with the scout leaders when the cabin wall smelled of urine come morning, and all had to then carry water and scrub the exterior cabin wall. Consequence and punishment and a need was shared by all for the short cutting of others. Edited December 30, 2018 by Neighbor spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This minuscule time-space continuum we live in, compared to Eternity, is for Him, not a problem, way back, farther than our minds can imagine, when it was just God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, He knew what that there would be a problem and He already had a solution planed for the problem and He knew those (us) that would come out of the problem clean, sanctified, just, righteous and would be fit, prepared to live with Him in Glory. So, for me, I believe He used this word and other descriptive words in His Word, that we consider vulgar to remind us while we are here that the thrice Holy God, the One who is Glory manifested in Flesh, stooped down into the cess pool we all are/were living in to call us to Himself... The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Ps 51:17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King David is at the end of his rope in running from Saul. And Samuel, who is the only one who could be a buffer for him, is dead. He and his men are exhausted. Nonetheless, they come upon a man's property. They don't go to his house, but stay back with his flocks and herds and help protect them because it was sheep-shearing time thinking the man, Nabal, will give them some provisions. But no, Nabal, who is described very negatively, sends David message of scorn, mocking sarcasm, and denying David's authority. In the state David is in, he reacts in great anger and says that before the morning light, everything that "pisseth against a wall" will be dead. That's Nabal, his sons, his male servants, his male sheep-shearers, and possibly male animals. David is at his breaking point and makes rash vows. Thank the LORD for the servant who went and told Nabal's wife all of this. There was going to be carnage. And every man would be killed because of Nabal. Abigail stopped it by softened David's heart by doing for them what her husband should have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause our LORD aint PC all inclusive seeker friendly . HE GETS QUITE ANGRY . WHEN HE returns , I assure us all , better pray ye get taken up to be with HIM , cause he aint coming with coffee and smiles to all who trod THE SON underfoot for the lets get all along unity song getting sung . Folks don't know HOW serious and angry GOD gets .

God never changed . From page one to page last of the entire bible the messae was repent why will ye die , but when a generation whose churches and leaders of those churches have sold out for UNITY and despite all the warnings they get , ONLY stiffen the neck as iron and have brows of brass , OH HIS WRATH WILL COME and the generation of HIS WRATH , HE DOES ABANDON .

I tell us all , its all of mankinds fault . And worse many willfully reject CHRIST the one who could have savedthem . And trod HIM under foot for an all inclusive God . It wont bode well in the time which is to come . Cause our GOD don't change . And he not likes this image of HIM getting sold to the masses , the image which provokes HIM to utter jealously , anger and wrath to come . I know , its not the message you gonna hear from hardly a soul these days . They just too busy creating an all inclusive love God that shares his honor with all relgions with all who even despise him . A hint . the wicked get only worse and so do the churches , because most of our leaders , don't cause the wicked torepent , they just promise them LIFE AS THEY are . Bad news when the jews did this , so don't expect good news for many today . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't believe that God would be using that particular word and just doesn't flow with the KJV writing style.... There are at least 6 passages with this statement, that I don't find in other translations. 1 Samuel 25:22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. (KJV) 1 Samuel 25:34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. (KJV) 1 Kings 14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. (KJV) 1 Kings 16:11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk, nor of his friends. (KJV) 1 Kings 21:21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, (KJV) 2 Kings 9:8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel: (KJV) This was a particular expression among Hebrews for males. It is used 6 times (V 22, 34; 1 Kings 14:10; 16:11. 21:21; 2 Kings 9:8). The meaning here is that no males would be left alive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
