What Do You Consider to Be the Most Humorous Passage in Scripture?

What do you consider to be the most humorous passage in Scripture?

Thanks for asking! I'm always grateful for those who find humor important for our health and welfare, including biblical humor. There's a lot of it. But my favorite? I suppose one obvious choice would be 1 Samuel 4:1-11. Israel goes out to fight against the Philistines, engages them in battle between Ebenezer and Aphek, and loses; about 4,000 soldiers die on the battlefield.  Why? The elders finally figure it out: the army forgot to get the ark from Shiloh. God had not been with them. They correct their mistake, set out again, this time "bringing God." The Philistines enter the second battle in fear because Israel's God is now present. They've heard of God’s mighty works. Yet they defeat Israel once more, kill far more thousands of soldiers, and even capture the ark (Israel's God)! Eli falls off his chair and dies (v. 18).

I understand that this is all very serious life-and-death stuff and not at all hilarious, in that sense; yet I find humor just in the biblical recognition of human hubris—of "bringing God" so that God is on our side. I hear this in christianmingle.com ads: "Find God's match for you." As if God couldn't use eharmony.com to accomplish the same purpose; and as if there are no marriage troubles among Christians. I hear it among politically active evangelicals who truly believe God will grant Republicans what they espouse. Don't worry—I see it in Democrats too. I hear it interwoven into our national pride—especially in the United States—where "God is surely on our side" in our dealings with other nations and terrorists. We fail only when we forget to bring God along. I remember it, also, from a host of classical and synodical gatherings, where God surely sees it “our” way and not “theirs.” We have the Bible on our side. And, yes, I see it in my own life too. It's the echo of the tower of Babel (built to reach heaven) where God must stoop to see it. Hubris. Humor.Grace that saves.
