Episode #35 – People Getting Shanked: 2 Samuel 3-5

Episode Summary:

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about all of the death and drama in 2 Samuel chapters 3 through 5.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • In the last discussion of 2 Samuel we looked at the fading of Saul’s kingship and the emergence of the Davidic kingship, but 2 Samuel 3:1 captures that even clearer doesn’t it?

  • Who is Abner in 2 Samuel and why does he matter?

  • Let’s talk about 2 Samuel 3:14.

  • Then the murders start happening: Abner is murdered, then Ish-bosheth (Saul’s son)...why does this matter? Why is God ok with all this bloodshed?

  • In 2 Samuel 5 we have David anointed king of Israel, but hadn’t he already been anointed? 

  • The defeat of the Philistines...why is it important that Israel fight and defeat people like the Philistines?
