Day 123: The Death of Ish-bosheth (2026)

Father Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[gentle music] Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day one hundred and twenty-three. It is day one two three. We are reading from Second Samuel, chapter four. We're also reading two chapters out of First Chronicles, chapters five and six. And we're also praying Psalm twenty-six. As always, I am reading from the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition, and I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

Not as many names as in chapters five and six of First Chronicles, but the name is Ishbosheth, right? Or Ish-bosheth. I've kind of fully committed to Ishbosheth. And so I apologize if you're, you're annoyed. You look... Reading your Bible, and it say... You say, "It says Ishbosheth." And I would say, "You're probably right." But [laughs] I'm committed to Ishbosheth. And so it's also fun to say. Just try it. Try it at home. Try it in your car as you're driving.
