1 Thessalonians 5 2-1 Thessalonians 5 7
You know very well how the day of the Lord will come. It will come like a thief in the night.People will be saying that everything is peaceful and safe. Then suddenly they will be destroyed. It will happen like birth pains coming on a pregnant woman. None of the people will escape.Brothers and sisters, you are not in darkness. So that day should not surprise you as a thief would.All of you are children of the light. You are children of the day. We don’t belong to the night. We don’t belong to the darkness.So let us not be like the others. They are asleep. Instead, let us be wide awake and in full control of ourselves.Those who sleep, sleep at night. Those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

That’s because they had taken a large amount of goods from those they had attacked. They had taken it from the land of the Philistines and from the people of Judah.David fought against them from sunset until the evening of the next day. None of them escaped except 400 young men. They rode off on camels and got away.

1 Samuel 25 33-1 Samuel 25 38
May the Lord bless you for what you have done. You have shown a lot of good sense. You have kept me from killing Nabal and his men this day. You have kept me from using my own hands to get even.It’s a good thing you came quickly to meet me. If you hadn’t come, not one of Nabal’s men would have been left alive by sunrise. And that’s just as sure as the Lord, the God of Israel, is alive. He has kept me from harming you.”Then David accepted from her what she had brought him. He said,“ Go home in peace. I’ve heard your words. I’ll do what you have asked.”Abigail went back to Nabal. He was having a dinner party in the house. It was the kind of dinner a king would have. He had been drinking too much wine. He was very drunk. So she didn’t tell him anything at all until sunrise.The next morning Nabal wasn’t drunk anymore. Then his wife told him everything. When she did, his heart grew weak. He became like a stone.About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal down. And he died.

1 Kings 20 16-1 Kings 20 22
They started out at noon. At that time Ben- Hadad and the 32 kings helping him were in their tents. They were getting drunk.The junior officers who were under Ahab’s area commanders marched out first. Ben- Hadad had sent out scouts. They came back and reported,“ Men are marching against us from Samaria.”Ben- Hadad said,“ They might be coming to make peace. If they are, take them alive. Or they might be coming to make war. If they are, take them alive.”The junior officers marched out of the city. The army was right behind them.Each man struck down the one fighting against him. When that happened, the army of Aram ran away. The Israelites chased them. But Ben- Hadad, the king of Aram, escaped on a horse. Some of his horsemen escaped with him.The king of Israel attacked them. He overpowered the horses and chariots. Large numbers of the men of Aram were wounded or killed.After that, the prophet came to the king of Israel again. The prophet said,“ Make your position stronger. Do what needs to be done. Next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.”
