20:9 Ionatan i-a zis: Departe de tine gandul sa nu-ti dau de stire, daca voi afla ca pieirea ta este lucru hotarat din partea tatalui meu si ameninta sa te ajunga! Pierirea... lucru hotarat. Ionatan simtea in inima lui ca David gresea in deductiile lui privitoare la atitudinea lui Saul. El parea sa creada ca, daca uneori Saul actiona ca un demon, aceasta se datora numai mintii lui tulburate. El putea sa contrazica deschis pe David, dar avand in vedere ca experienta afecta pe David in mod personal, el a fost gata sa respecte metoda prietenului sau de a preciza atitudinea lui Saul. Viitorul urma sa descopere adevarul si, la urma urmelor, nu putea fi nici o pierdere daca urmau metoda lui David. In aceasta experienta se afla o invatatura de valoare. Oamenii nu au aceeasi mostenire genetica si aceleasi conditii de viata si prin urmare nu privesc la fel problemele vietii. Fiecare crede ca metoda lui, deosebita de a celorlalti, este cea corecta. Adesea urmarile sunt diferente de pareri, controverse si acuzatii reciproce. Sunt aruncate in toate directiile cuvinte usturatoare, care despart familii, prieteni si chiar pe cei care se iubesc. Egoismul se inalta, mandria nu cedeaza, fie ca se poate sau nu. Capitolul acesta prezinta un contrast izbitor intre felul de a lucra in astfel de situatii al lui Saul si al lui Ionatan. Saul, in tirania si inchistarea lui intoleranta, socotea ca trebuie sa fie cel dintai si ceea ce zicea el era corect si definitiv. Oricine n-ar fi fost de acord trebuia sa fie eliminat, indiferent de mijloacele folosite. Totusi propriul lui fiu a privit viata dintr-un unghi cu tot diferit. Pentru ce aceasta deosebire intre tata si fiu, cand ambii traisera in acelasi mediu si primisera acelasi tip de educatie? A luminat oare Dumnezeu o viata, iar pe alta, nu? S-a nascut oare Saul ca sa fie rau, iar fiul, prin contrast, ca sa aiba trasaturi nobile de caracter? Se cerea poporului sa-l accepte pe Saul cu toate excentricitatile lui? Solutia la aceste intrebari se afla in cuvintele lui Pavel: ,,sunteti robii aceluia de care ascultati” (Romani 6,16). Din cauza alegerii facute, omul incredinteaza slujba sa, cugetele sale si supravegherea vietii sale fie unuia, fie altuia dintre cei doi stapani, doi conducatori care reprezinta doua standarde de viata diametral opuse. Poate ca Saul slujise eul tot timpul tineretii lui. Poate ca, in casa tatalui sau, el a fost un copil-problema, un bataus in mijlocul celorlalti, insa, ca si Iuda, un conducator innascut. Daca aceasta este adevarat, putem intelege usor nelinistea tatalui sau cand Saul se afla departe de casa, in cautarea magaritelor. Totusi, ungerea lui ca imparat reprezinta dovada deplina ca Dumnezeu l-a acceptat in ciuda defectelor si i-a dat o inima noua (cap. 10,6.9). Dar el a refuzat sa umble in lumina cerului. Pe de alta parte, Ionatan, fiul lui, a ales sa urmareasca alte interese decat pe cele personale. In prima parte a vietii, Ionatan, prin supunere plina de rugaciune fata de providenta lui Dumnezeu, dezvoltase treptat conduita care il va caracteriza in viata. Felul lui de a vedea lucrurile l-a facut sa accepte bucuros sugestia lui David. S-ar putea ca aceasta experienta, alaturi de altele sa fi fost in mintea lui David, cand, mai tarziu, canta: ,,Iata ce placut si ce dulce este sa locuiasca fratii impreuna” (Psalmul 133,1). |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
