2 Samuel 4:7

Verse 7

THE HEAD OF ISHBOSHETH WAS PRESENTED TO DAVID

"They took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night, and brought the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. And they said to the king, `Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life; the Lord has avenged my lord the king this day on Saul and on his offspring.'"

How disgusting it is that these rascals, in their address to David, "Spread the holy name of God and his providence as a cloak and covering for their villainy."[9] These evil men, "Had no regard either for God or for David's honor; they aimed at nothing but to make their own fortunes and to get preferment at David's court."[10] This is a deceit often practiced by evil men pretending to be obeying God's Word when actually they are God's enemies. Caird noted that these men, "True to Oriental style made the Lord a party to their crime."[11]

He became a Christian in 1923. In Texas, Coffman graduated from Abilene High School and enrolled in Abilene Christian College (now University), graduating in 1927 with a B.A. in history and music.After earning his degree, Coffman served as a high school principal for two years in Callahan County, then taught history and English at Abilene High School.In 1930, he was offered a position as associate minister and song leader in Wichita Falls, the beginning of his career as a minister.
