Inspector's Pledge of Support - Biblical Guide to Train up a Child

Deuteronomy 6:6 – 9 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest
in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down , and when thou
risest up . 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Deuteronomy 11:16 - 21 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived , and ye turn
aside , and serve other gods, and worship them; 17 And then the LORD'S wrath be kindled
against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit;
and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. 18 Therefore shall
ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your
hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children,
speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou
liest down, and when thou risest up . 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine
house, and upon thy gates: 21 That your days may be multiplied , and the days of your children,
in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon
the earth.

Deuteronomy 31:12 13
Gather the people together , men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy
gates, that they may hear , and that they may learn , and fear the LORD your God, and observe to
do all the words of this law: 13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may
hear , and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it.

Proverb 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Bible Guest - David

Please read 1 Samuel 17.

Summary of 1 Samuel 17: The Israelites went to war against the Philistines. The Philistines’
champion was named Goliath. Goliath was over 9 feet tall. Every day, Goliath yelled at the
Israelites. He asked for a man to come and fight him. All the men were afraid. One day,
David’s father Jesse sent David with some food for his brothers. David heard Goliath yelling at
the army. David asked the men what does the man get who kills the giant. The men told him
that the man gets the king’s daughter and he never has to pay taxes. David said, Your Majesty, I
take care of my father’s sheep. Any time a lion or a bear carries off a lamb, I go after it, attack it,
and rescue the lamb. I have killed a lion and a bear; I will do the same to this Philistine. David
tried on the king’s armor, but it was too big. David ran towards the giant. David took his sling
shot and three stone. With the sling shot and one stone, David killed Goliath

Key Verse:
1 Samuel 17:34,35 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there
came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35 And I went out after him, and smote
him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard,
and smote him, and slew him.
