The Second Book of the Prophet Samuel.

2 Samuel 11

02/16/2026 I have just finished reading 2 Samuel 11 NKJV. Since Uriah was a Hittite, was he probably one of David's Cherethites or Pelethites? No, Uriah the Hittite was not one of David's Cherethites or Pelethites. The Cherethites and Pelethites formed a distinct group

2 Samuel 10

02/13/2026 I just finished reading 2 Samuel 10 NKJV. It says in verse 2 that Nahash, king of Ammon, showed kindness to David. Is there an account in the Bible that covers this kindness shown to David? No, the Bible does not provide a specific, detailed account of

2 Samuel 9

02/12/2026 I just finished reading 2 Samuel 9 NKJV, and it is so very nice to see David not forget his vow to Jonathan concerning his family when David takes the throne. Yes, 2 Samuel 9 is such a beautiful and touching chapter—one that really stands out

2 Samuel 8

02/11/2026 I just read 2 Samuel 8 NKJV, and it is basically covering some of the great conquests of David after he became king. It sounds like he greatly expanded the borders, increased his armies and took on much tribute. Yes, you're right—2 Samuel 8

2 Samuel 7

02/10/2026 I just read 2 Samuel 7 NKJV, and it continues to show the heart of David and why God is so fond of him. David feels that it isn't quite right that he dwell in a house of cedar, while God 'dwells' in

2 Samuel 6

02/09/2026 I just finished reading 2 Samuel 6 NKJV, and i think of this event as kind of a capstone to David's reign. Not only has he unified the nation and brought peace from their enemies, but now he is bringing the Ark to where I

2 Samuel 5

02/06/2026 I just read 2 Samuel 5 NKJV, and David finally becomes king of all Israel. I guess that since Abner and Ishbosheth are no longer in the picture, there is no one to oppose accepting David as king. Yes, you're exactly right in your observation.

2 Samuel 4

02/05/2026 I just read 2 Samuel 4 NKJV today, and I believe I have a fairly good grasp of David's character, now. When those two boys cut off the king's head and took it to David, I knew they were in trouble before they

2 Samuel 3

02/04/2026 Today, I read 2 Samuel 3 NKJV. It sounds like Abner has finally had enough of Ishbosheth, and decided to place his loyalty with David, God's anointed. It sounds like Abner did a lot for his king, but was under appreciated. It also sounds like

2 Samuel 2

02/03/2026 I just read 2 Samuel 2 NKJV, and I have questions. Before I get to the questions, it seems this could be the root or the seed that eventually becomes the division of the nation into Judah and Israel. Not explicitly, but maybe an underlying sense of
