Israel At Peace Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 30, 2003

This part of 2 Samuel is really about God as the king, giving David the human king what he promised. It shows us David trusting God’s kingship, caring for Mephibosheth, not seeing him as a threat to what God gave him.

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 3, 2003

God is the one who saves, not by sword or spear, but by his power, by his word proclaimed in the gospel, by his Spirit who fills each one of us just as he filled David.

He’s the archetypal cutter down of tall poppies. The one who can overcome the greatest odds to win through to victory. But ...read more
