Rev. Hallie Hottle preaches about the story of Rizpah in 2 Samuel 21: 10-14. Rizpah is a grieving mother, protecting the bodies of her lynched sons. Her protest is tragic and unrelenting, and it’s the thing that finally moves the king to right the wrongs, make the reparations, take down the bones. Only then does the land begin to grow again. In this day when bones still line our hillsides and a famine of justice persists in our land, perhaps we need to spend some time reading Rizpah.
