2 Samuel 5:1–25 (NEG79)

1 Toutes les tribus d'Israël vinrent auprès de David, à Hébron, et dirent: Voici, nous sommes tes os et ta chair.

The books of 1 and 2 Samuel seek to ask and answer two important questions, namely:

  1. Will kingship help Israel obey the terms of the old covenant and flourish in the Land of Promise?
    Kingship will not help if the king is someone who refuses to obey the Lord and walk in his ways.

  2. What kind of king does Israel need?
    They need a king who lives in submission to the Lord and leads the people in obedience.

For 2 Samuel 5:1–25, you will explain how the details of the chapter serve to confirm that God’s king will win. Explain why that is the case, highlighting his obedience and the favour he enjoys from God. Your application will then be a reminder for us to submit to God’s King Jesus in all aspects of our lives.
