This book is the history of the reign of king David. We had in the
foregoing book an account of his designation to the government, and his
struggles with Saul, which ended at length in the death of his
persecutor. This book begins with his accession to the throne, and is
entirely taken up with the affairs of the government during the forty
years he reigned, and therefore is entitled by the LXX. <I>The
Third Book of the Kings.</I> It gives us an account of David's triumphs
and his troubles.
I. His triumphs over the house of Saul
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+1:1-4:12"><I>ch.</I> i.-iv.</A>),
over the Jebusites and Philistines
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+5:1-25"><I>ch.</I> v.</A>),
at the bringing up of the ark
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+6:1-7:29"><I>ch.</I> vi. and vii.</A>),
over the neighbouring nations that opposed him
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+8:1-10:19"><I>ch.</I> viii.-x.</A>);
and so far the history is agreeable to what we might expect from
David's character and the choice made of him. But his cloud has a dark
side.
II. We have his troubles, the causes of them, his sin in the matter of
Uriah
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+11:1-12:31"><I>ch.</I> xi. and xii.</A>),
the troubles themselves from the sin of Amnon
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+13:1-39"><I>ch.</I> xiii.</A>),
the rebellion of Absalom
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+14:1-43"><I>ch.</I> xiv.-xix.</A>)
and of Sheba
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+20:1-26"><I>ch.</I> xx.</A>),
and the plague in Israel for his numbering the people
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+24:1-25"><I>ch.</I> xxiv.</A>),
besides the famine of the Gibeonites,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+21:1-22"><I>ch.</I> xxi</A>.
His son we have
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+22:1-51"><I>ch.</I> xxii.</A>),
and his words and worthies,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Sa+23:1-39"><I>ch.</I> xxiii</A>.
Many things in his history are very instructive; but for the hero who
is the subject of it, though in many instances he appears here very
great, and very good, and very much the favourite of heaven, yet it
must be confessed that his honour shines brighter in his Psalms than in
his Annals.</P>
