Journey Through 2 Samuel: Leadership, Faith, and God’s Covenant

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 21-day Bible study on the book of 2 Samuel. As one of the historical books in the Old Testament, 2 Samuel offers an insightful glimpse into God’s dealings with His chosen king, David, highlighting themes of leadership, God’s covenant, repentance, and faithfulness.

2 Samuel continues the story begun in 1 Samuel and chronicles the reign of David — from his consolidation of Israel’s tribes to his triumphs and failures as a king. It includes powerful moments like David’s anointing as king, his conquest of Jerusalem, interactions with God’s prophet Nathan, and the consequences of his personal sins.

Throughout these chapters, we see God’s unwavering commitment to His covenant promises, especially the assurance that David’s lineage will endure forever—an important theme that points forward to the coming Messiah in Jesus Christ. Equally important are the lessons on humility and repentance, as David models seeking God’s forgiveness when confronted with his faults.
