2 Samuel records David's reign — his rise to the throne, the conquest of Jerusalem, the eternal covenant God makes with his house, and the moral failure with Bathsheba that fractures his family. From the highs of triumph to the depths of repentance, David remains the messianic prototype.
“And when thy days be fulfilled… I will set up thy seed after thee… and I will establish his kingdom.”
“And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.”
“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.”
