God's Word: II Samuel

 God's Word: II Samuel by ric gustafson

The author is unknown. The book was written in 1010-970 BC. This was during the reign of King David. The book talks about David becoming Israel's greatest king. But David had major flaws. When King Saul died, David becomes king. In II Samuel 7, God promises David that his throne will be established forever.

Then one spring, David stays home from battle. He spots a beautiful neighbor. He wants her. He commits adultery with her. Her name was Bathsheba. Then David has her husband killed in battle. 

Eventually, David repents and God forgives his sin. But the consequences of David's sins will affect him and his family for most of his life.
