2 Samuel 1-2

1 and 2 Samuel form one story, divided into two volumes.  The first volume tells of the beginning of Israel's monarchy and ends tragically with the death of he first king.  The second volume, that we begin today, tells of her greatest king, David.

The story opens with bloodshed.  When God is not the supreme King, anarchy and civil war follow.

One of the strongest apologetics for the veracity of the Bible is the honest retelling of these stories.  No soft-coating, no hero worship - just the raw history of the way things really played out.
