The Reign of David
Today's reading 2Samuel 14-15
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 2Samuel 14; 2Samuel 15;
2 Samuel 14
Joab knew David had missed Absalom and that he wanted him back. David felt amger, sorrow and remorse. Joab came up with a scheme where he got a woman to go to David and ask him to help her with a family dispute. This was in a lot of ways similar to David's situation. This was the same type of approach that Nathan had used on David in 2Samuel 12 when Nathan confronted David of his sin with Bathsheba with a parable of a rich man taking a poor man's only lamb.
Guzik on 2Samuel 14
David allowed Absalom to come back to Jerusalem but was not allowed to see David. Absalom schemed on seeing Daivid so he burnt down Joab's barley field. We see Joab and Absalom working out their evil schemes in manipulating to get political control in Jerusalem
2Samuel 15
Absalom conspired to overthrow his father and start a civil war (v. 1-12). David flee Jerusalem with his loyal followers. Ittai was a good man, he decided to stay with David regardless of the outcome (19-21). We need people like Ittai in our lives to be with us whatever the cost. The king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why should you come along with us? Go back and stay with King Absalom. You are a foreigner, an exile from your homeland. You came only yesterday. And today shall I make you wander about with us, when I do not know where I am going? Go back, and take your countrymen. May kindness and faithfulness be with you." But Ittai replied to the king, "As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be." (2 Samuel 15:19-21 NIV)
More on Ittai
Ahithophel was the grandfather of Bathsheba and was one of David's counselor (16.13), he had secretly aligned himself with Absalom in the civil war against David. According to the NIV Study Bible, this was probably in retaliation for his treatment of Bathsheba and Uriah.

Today's reading 2Samuel 11-13
2 Samuel 11
It was spring and David stayed in Jerusalem instead of going with Joab and the army to fight the Ammonites. One evening, he saw Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, taking a bath on a roof-top. He ended up having an affiar with her, and from that union had a baby. He covered the matter up by setting Uriah up in the heat of battle, such that everyone retreated and Uriah was killed.
2 Samuel 12
Nathan confronted David of his sin with Bathsheba with a parable of a rich man taking a poor man's only lamb. David was very angry and said that the rich man shoild pay fourfold. Nathan said to him that David was a rich man. David acknowledged his sins and God forgave him but he still had to pay the consequences of his sins. He had to reap what he sowed in his life. He had to pay a heavy price because he was the king. In this passage, the Bible warned us that those who are given more responsibility and privileges from God will be judged more severely. David wrote Psalm 51 in which he acknowledged that it was against God that he sinned. His sins were given but he had to pay the price, he and Bathsheba lost the baby.
.
2Samuel 13
This is the tragic story of Tamar being raped by her step-brother, Amnon (v. 1-22). Absalom, Tamar's sister killed Amnon in revenge for what he did. This heartache and pain came ultimately from David's sin with Bathsheba. Sometimes we are not aware that the consequences of our sins have effect not only on the parties involved but it may affect families and friend and the whole. community.

Today's reading 2Samuel 4-7
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 2Samuel 4; 2Samuel 5; 2Samuel 6
2Samuel 7
In 2Samuel 7.1-17; 1Chronicles 17.1-15: The Lord gives David REST from his enemies (v. 1). Because David was living in a place and the ark of God was a tent. He told Nathan that he wanted the ark to be better place than a tent. The Lord came to Nathan and told him to tell David that he would create a dynasty for David that would last forever. God was speaking here on tow levels of fulfilment, one was the dynasty that would produce, Jesus Christ the Messiah, and the other would be the Dynasty of kings of Judah. David responds to God in preayer *2Samuel 7.18-29; 1Chronicles 17.16-17). This is what is known as the Davidic Covenant.
The Reign of Saul
2 Samuel 7, with Commentaries, verse by verse
2 Samuel 8.1-14; 1Chronicles 18.1-13
David was victorious over his enemies. He defeated the Moabites (2), and the the Aramaens (3-5). He was victorious because of God. God can give us victories of the enemies of our spiritual life. It may not mean that we are successful financially
2 Samuel 8.15-18; 1Chronicles 18.1-14-17 spoke about the officials of David’s kingdom, among them were Joab, Zadok, Benaiah and David’s sons whoe were advisers.
2Samuel 9 is the story of David treatment of Mephibosheth. David had remembered the covenant he made with Jonathan (1Samuel 20.14-17). He asked if there was any one alive from Saul’s household. He found out about Mephibosheth and he took care of him and he ate at the king’s table. This is a beautiful illustration of Jesus reaching down to us. In this case Jesus is represented by David and Mephibosheth is represented by us who ware sinners. Mephibosheth realized that he did not deserved David’s kindness and he humbled himself before David. He was an enemy of David because of his relationship with Saul who was his grandfather. He was also crippled. Yet despite all of the shortcomings of Mephibosheth, David showed mecry to him just as how Jesus showed mercy towards us while we were God’s enemies.
.
2Samuel 10.1-19; 1Chronicles 19.1-19 is the account of how David defeat the Ammonites. Nahash the king of the Ammonites died. Hanun, his son succeeded him. David thought he would show kindness to Hanun just as how Nahash had showed kindness to David. David sent some of his men to Hanun. Hanum overreacted after hearing the counsel of he nobles of the Ammonites. He ordered that Daivid’ smen have half of each man’s beard shaved, and cut off their garments in the middle of the buttocks, and sent them back to David. In the Middle Eastern culture this was considered an insult of the worst kind. David declared war against the Ammonites. They were soundly defeated, along with their allies the Aramaeans (Syrians). We should leaen not to jump to conclusion without weighing the matter carefully. Let us learn from the mistake of Hanun.

King David
David captured Jerusalem (2Samuel 5.6-10; 1Chronicles 11.1-9) from the Jebusites and called it the City of David. Notice verse 10 stated that David became more powerful because the Lord God Almighty was with Him. In 2Samuel 5.11-16; 1Chronicles 3.5-9; 14.1-7, there is a description of the children born to David.
When the Philistines heard that David was king over all Israel, they launched an attack against Israel. David inquired of the Lord wheteher he should attack the Philistines and whether God would hand them over to him. God told him to go and attack. The victory was David. And he defeated them. We remembered Saul and before his tragic death, he inquired of the Lord but there was no answer, that was when he had contacted the witch of Endor and things went bad for Saul and he died.

2Samuel 6
In 2Samuel 6.1-11; 1Chronicles 13.3-14, David and his men went to get the ark of God. They set the ark on a new and brought it from the house of Abinadab. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart. David and Israel were celebrating before the Lord with songs, and harps lyres, tambouriness sistruths and cymbals. When they reached the threshing floor of Nacan, the oxen had stumbled and Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark to prevent it from falling on the ground. The Lord’s anger burnt against Uzzah because of the irreverent act and he killed Uzzah. David was angry with God because he killed Uzzah.
Uzzah Smitten
David became afraid of the Lord that day. Although Uzzah had good intention to prevent the ark from falling on the ground, there was specific instructions in the handling of the Ark (Exodus 15.15; Numbers 4.5-61.5; 1Chronicles 15.13-15). God had shocked everyone there to remind them that He is a holy God and his commandments must be obeyed. We need to remember that He is a God of love but the one attribute that separate our God from other gods is His Holiness. And excellent book on this subject is the Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul.
In 2Samuel 6.13-19; 1Chronicles 15.25-16.3, David was afraid of God, that he was unwilling to take tha ark back to Jerusalem. It stayed at the house of Obed-Edom. Three months later David and the people went doen to take the ark back to Jerusalem. He had sacrificed a bull and fattened calf immediately. He danced before the Lord
with all his heart.

Today's reading 2Samuel 1-3
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 2Samuel 1; 2Samuel 2; 2Samuel 3
2 Samuel 1
In verse 1-15, A messenger who was an Amakelite came to give David the news of Saul's death. David hears of Saul's death. (2Samuel 1.4-12; 1Samuel 31.1-13; 1Chronicles 10.1-12). The Amakleite lied to David because he expected David to reard him. David, instead ordered his death. He had still viewed Saul as the Lord's anointed (verse 14) . He had all the opportunities to kill Saul but he had not, instead he left it in God's hand. In verse 17-26, He mourned over Saul and his good friend Jonathan.
Arthur Pink Life of David on 2Samuel 1
2Samuel 2
David, after waiting for many years, waiting on God instead of seizing an opportune moment, finally became king over Judah. We need to learn to wait upon God for thiongs to happen in our lives instead of making them happen with our efforts.
There was a civil war between the Houses of David and Saul (2Samuel 2.8-3.5)
In verse 8 Abner made Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, king in Israel (The other 11 tribes).

Today's reading 2Samuel 1-3
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 2Samuel 1; 2Samuel 2; 2Samuel 3
2 Samuel 1
In verse 1-15, A messenger who was an Amakelite came to give David the news of Saul's death. David hears of Saul's death. (2Samuel 1.4-12; 1Samuel 31.1-13; 1Chronicles 10.1-12). The Amakleite lied to David because he expected David to reard him. David, instead ordered his death. He had still viewed Saul as the Lord's anointed (verse 14) . He had all the opportunities to kill Saul but he had not, instead he left it in God's hand. In verse 17-26, He mourned over Saul and his good friend Jonathan.

2Samuel 2
David, after waiting for many years, waiting on God instead of seizing an opportune moment, finally became king over Judah. We need to learn to wait upon God for thiongs to happen in our lives instead of making them happen with our efforts.
There was a civil war between the Houses of David and Saul (2Samuel 2.8-3.5)
In verse 8 Abner made Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, king in Israel (The other 11 tribes).

The Reign of Saul
Today's reading 1Samuel 25-27
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 1Samuel 25; 1Samuel 26; 1Samuel 27
In 1Samuel 25, David sent some young men to speak to Nabal, Abigail's husband. They were to say that they did not mistreat Nabal's men and sak Nabal to show them some kindness by offering David whatever, he could find for him. Nabal got upset and drove the young men away. He was not showing hospitality that was expected at that time. Nabal's servant went to Abigail who got provisions, food and water, and brought them to David, apologizing for her foolish husband, knowing that David could kill the whole family. Abigail intereceded for Nabal and spared his life. David praised the Lord for Abigail having such wisdom and tact in handling that particular situation. Abigail told Nabal what had happened and within ten days the Lord struck Nabal and he probably died from a stroke. David met his second wife Abigail under God’s intervention and Abigail’s intercession.
In 1Samuel 26 The Ziphites betrayed David to Saul. Saul sent his men to capture David but David and his men hid from him. David knew where Saul had camped, so he went down with Abishai into Saul's camp. They found Saul asleep. David had another opportunity to kill Saul, yet he spared his life again. David said that Saul's life was in God's hands not his (v. 9-11). They took Saul's water jug and spear which was at Saul's head. Notice God had put everyone in Saul's camp into deep sleep.
David called to Abner, Saul's commander and ask for Saul. He showed him the water jug and the spear. Saul realized that David could have killed him but he spared his life. He told David that he sinned, trying to kill David. Saul went home. We do not know how sincere Saul was but we know that David trusted God to deal with Saul in His own time.
In 1Samuel 27 David was convincd that Saul would eventually kill him, He fled to the Achish of the Philstines again. David had a spiritual victory in 1 Samuel 26, but in this chapter he fled to Israel's enemies as refuge. Achish trusted David and thought that he would be his servant for ever. This is a bad situation when you run to the enemies of God for refuge instead of running to God. God still preserve David and kept watch over him.
