The Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Samuel 2.
The war for the throne of Israel begins in earnest. David is anointed king of Judah in Hebron, while Saul's son Ishbosheth rules over the rest of the tribes. A bloody battle ensues between their armies, led by Joab and Abner. Who will prevail in this struggle for power and God's favor?
2 Samuel tells how David becomes the king of Israel and faces both success and failure. It shows YHWH's faithfulness to His promise and David’s need for His mercy. Through this book, God reveals David in times of both strength and weakness, but nevertheless as a man after God’s heart.
