(4) And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. (5) And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. (6) And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
It is profitable to mark, and admire distinguishing mercies of any kind. The salvation of the Kenites, was certainly a marked blessing. And is it not yet more sweet and refreshing, to contemplate the distinguishing blessings of grace. When the Lord was about to bring a flood upon the world, for the destruction of the ungodly, Noah had an ark provided for his safety. Dearest Jesus! how precious art thou in this point of view, to thy people!
