(1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings)

A flea ?
1 Samuel 24:14

(1Sa 24:14 KJV)  After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.(1Sa 24:15 KJV)  The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.

(1Sa 24:16 KJV)  And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

(1Sa 24:17 KJV)  And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.


I also find somewhat the same answer in
(1Sa 26:20 KJV)  Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

(1Sa 26:21 KJV)  Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

(1Sa 26:22 KJV)  And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

According to Ecclesiastes, what gives perfume a bad smell?

[workinprogress]

According to Ecclesiastes, what gives perfume a bad smell?

Dead flies?
(Ecc 10:1 KJVR)  Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savor: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.

apothecary [Strongs]7543 = A primitive root; to perfume: - apothecary, compound, make [ointment], prepare, spice.

I had to look up what the word apothecary, was before I understood this verse
What is strange is I have walked into apothecary shops and never stopped to learn the meaning of this word.
  How we do learn and grow through reading Gods word.
Thank you for posting these trivia questions, it makes it more enjoyable .



 
(Ecc 10:1 GNB)[GNB =Good news Bible]   Dead flies can make a whole bottle of perfume stink, and a little stupidity can cancel out the greatest wisdom.
