Today I read 2 Samuel 7, in which Nathan’s prophecy is of God’s promises to David, and David responds with a prayer of gratitude.

Today I read 2 Samuel 6, where David was bringing the Ark to Jerusalem, paused the journey because of fear, but brought the Ark to Jerusalem.

Today I read 2 Samuel 5, where David is made king of Israel by the elders; David captures Jerusalem from the Jebusites, and the Philistines are defeated…

Today I read 2 Samuel 4, in which everyone was scared because Abner was dead and Saul’s captains cause the murder of Ishbosheth.

Today I read 2 Samuel 3, in which the long war between David’s and Saul’s people ends and Joab kills Abner.

Today I read 2 Samuel 2, in which David is anointed king of Judah, Ishbosheth was made king over Israel, and there was war between Israel and Judah.
