A Book at a Glance: 2 Samuel

About this episode

This episode explores the book of 2 Samuel, focusing on the history of King David and the early monarchy of Israel.

2 Samuel April 8, 2026 PM. The book of 2 Samuel recounts the history of King David and the early monarchy that was started in 1 Samuel. The entire focus is on King David, who secures his rule over Judah and Jerusalem, and later over the remainder of the nation of Israel. He learns of God’s covenant promise to him and his descendancy. Then he extends the kingdom with victories over the Philistines, Ammonites and Syrians. But the story is marred by the sin of God’s people, as usually the case in human history, including David’s sin with Bathsheba and Uriah, Absalom’s coup, and David carrying out the improper census.
