This action is a significant aspect of the biblical narrative, illustrating the dependence of individuals and leaders on divine wisdom and direction. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, the act of inquiring is frequently associated with seeking God's will or guidance through prayer, prophets, or the Urim and Thummim. One notable example is King David, who regularly inquired of the Lord before making important decisions. In <a href="/1_samuel/23-2.htm">1 Samuel 23:2</a> , it is recorded, "So David inquired of the LORD, 'Shall I go and attack these Philistines?' And the LORD said to David, 'Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.'" The practice of inquiring of the Lord was not limited to kings. The Israelites, during their wilderness journey, often sought God's guidance through Moses. In <a href="/numbers/27-21.htm">Numbers 27:21</a> , God instructs Moses regarding Joshua, "He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD." Prophets and Inquiring Prophets played a crucial role as intermediaries through whom people inquired of God. In <a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9</a> , it is noted, "Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he would say, 'Come, let us go to the seer,' for the prophet of today was formerly called the seer." This highlights the established practice of seeking divine insight through prophetic figures. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of inquiring takes on a more personal and spiritual dimension. While the direct inquiry of God through prophets is less emphasized, the pursuit of understanding God's will remains central. Believers are encouraged to seek wisdom through prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> advises, "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." Theological Implications The act of inquiring in the Bible underscores the importance of seeking God's guidance in all aspects of life. It reflects a posture of humility and dependence on divine wisdom rather than human understanding. This practice is foundational to a life of faith, as it acknowledges God's sovereignty and the believer's need for His direction. Practical Application For contemporary believers, the principle of inquiring of the Lord remains relevant. It involves prayerful seeking of God's will through Scripture, the counsel of mature Christians, and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. This practice encourages a dynamic relationship with God, characterized by trust and obedience.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Inquire.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4441.htm">4441. punthanomai -- to inquire, by impl. to learn</a> ... root puth- Definition to inquire, by impl. to learn NASB Word Usage ask (1), asking (2), inquire (4), inquired (2), inquiring (1), learned (1). ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4441.htm - 7k<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1245.htm">1245. baqash -- to seek</a> ... to seek NASB Word Usage aim (1), beg (1), begging (1), concerned (1), consulted (1), demand (1), desire (1), eager (1), hold* (1), inquired (2), investigated (1 ... /hebrew/1245.htm - 6k <a href="/hebrew/1875.htm">1875. darash -- to resort to, seek</a> ... 1), calls (1), care (1), cares (3), comes the reckoning (1), consult (2), consulted by them at all (1), demand (1), inquire (33), inquired (5), inquirer (1 ... /hebrew/1875.htm - 6k <a href="/hebrew/7592.htm">7592. shaal -- to ask, inquire</a> ... 1), demanded (1), desired (1), desires (1), earnestly asked (1), earnestly asked leave (1), greet* (5), greeted* (1), inquire (6), inquired (18), inquires (1 ... /hebrew/7592.htm - 6k <a href="/hebrew/7593.htm">7593. sheel -- to ask</a> ...
