Yes Father, you are the mighty Lord Jesus, my God. I pray in the precious name of Jesus Lord. Amen. Amen, amen. Thank you so much. Thank you. I'll just present the notes. So let's turn to second Samuel from our notes. The author of second Samuel is same as the first Samuel where Samuel wrote the first 24 chapters of first Samuel. And then later part of the book has been written by the prophet Gad and Dan. And then the date of this book is, it is David reigned for 40 years. Okay, the first seven and a half years he reigned over Judah from 1011 BC to 1004 BC. And later part he also unites Judah and Israel from 1004 BC to 971 BC. The very purpose of this book we see that while judges showed Israel needs a king. And in the book of Samuel we see David who was chosen by God to be the king and how God led David and how God gave him the victory, every battle that he fought God blessed him. And in second Samuel we see that God blesses the king David because he chose him and how David obeys and inquires everything with God and he has been led by God. And we also see David's successor needed to be reminded of the prophetic viewpoint to obey to God brings reward and disobedience bring its punishment. And this clearly has been illustrated as God's blessing for David's obedience and punishment for his sin. And we also see the unique features. The second Samuel records the establishment of Jerusalem as God's holy city. The next we see the law of sowing and reaping is no way more clearly illustrated than in the tragic of results of David sin with Betsheba. And first Samuel records the anointing of David as king by Samuel in the presence of his family. Second Samuel we see records the two public anointing of David as king by the people of Judah and then by all the 12 tribes as the king of Israel. In second Samuel introduced the second of the three most important Old Testament unconditional covenant which is called as the Davidic covenant. And the other two are the Abrahamic covenant which we saw in the book of Genesis and the new covenant which we will see much later in the book of Jeremiah when we study. Comparison of this book with the other is with Ezekiel the book of Ezekiel where while David fought to keep Israel's 12 tribes together the Messiah foretold in Ezekiel will find no disunity among the tribes. Both book discuss of preparation for a temple. David for Solomon's temple and Ezekiel for the millennial temple. Some of the major events which we see in the book of second Samuel is David becomes the king over Judah and then later over Jerusalem. David is Davidic is unveiled the promise that this throne would be established forever in an eternal kingdom. We see again David's covenant involves three things one the house dynasty established forever the eternal kingdom throne over throne established forever and then we see Christ eternal rule will be fulfilled with the Davidic covenant. And next point we see David's been troubled because he had sinned with bedsheba and David pays fourfold he lost the son then he loses Thamad then Amnon and Absalom continuously and David's trouble in the nation. Shiba and the Benjamin revolved three years famine due to Salton against the Gipponites the numbering of the people pride involved and you know he stopped doing that he stopped getting involved in the numbering of the people as a result 70,000 people die. And we also see the outline David the sovereign as a sinner and how he suffered the straight man singer and the portrayal of the shadow of Christ in this book as seen in the first Samuel David is one of the most important type of Christ in the Old Testament. In spite of his sin, he remains as a man after God's own heart because of his responsive and faithful attitude towards God he humbled himself, despite the wrong what he did and he went before God with a repented heart. And when he repents we see God forgiving him and keeping up the covenant. God establishes the covenant that he did with David. And through him he promises the lineage of Messiah will come through the David's lineage. But this we will open our Bibles. The meanwhile I'll just share the presentation what I've prepared. Yeah, I felt this picture is more apt for David. You know who pleases God with the Psalms who desires to sing and praise to God always. So as we move on to our Bible study. Okay, let's turn to second Samuel chapter one onwards. So yesterday we studied on the book of first Samuel as we know both the book are the same. It was in the later part when they were doing the separate or the translation in Greek is when they separated this one book of Samuel into two parts first Samuel and second Samuel. So in second Samuel we'll see the story of David rain as a king over Israel. So there's a season of a success and blessing and later part of the same book we see the huge moral value failure and sad consequences of a sin. Yeah, let's turn to chapter one from first Samuel. Sorry, second Samuel chapter one. Here we see the death of Saul and David surprises everyone. They thought David will be pleased with death of Saul when the two men ran and came to David, you know, tearing their clothes and the dust on their head. So looking at them itself, David knew there is a bad news because that was the portrayal of something a person was carrying a bad news. So these two men who carried this news to David saying that Saul and the three sons are dead in the battle. David lamented over them. David wept and wept. He was not very happy about Saul's death. The man who sought to kill David but then he lamented because he was God's anointed and he also wept for his son Jonathan Saul's son Jonathan who was a very good friend of David. So once again we see how David is moved with compassion and he is a man who grieves for the death of his own enemy who was chasing after his life and also he grieves for his best friend Jonathan. And after that, in chapter two to six, chapter two, okay, chapter two, we see that David experienced a season of success and God's blessing over them, all of Israel tribes of, you know, before that we see how David inquires with God. He inquires saying that in chapter two verse one, we see that David inquired of the Lord saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? Instead of David choosing by himself, he actually seeks God, but can I move to Judah? And here God clearly directs David saying that yes, you can go up to and go to Ebron. God is directing in the right place and David obeys to God's command and he moves with his family to Ebron. When he goes to Ebron, there you see verse four, second chapter verse four, then the men of Judah came and they, they anointed David king over the house of Judah. The men of Judah, they came approaching David and they said, we would like to appoint you as a king over Judah. Now David has become the king of Judah and then he rules over them for seven and a half years. And after that, you know, the army Abner was cousin of King Saul and he was also the chief commander in Saul's army in Saul's kingdom. So Abner appoints Ishebosheth, Ishebosheth was the fourth son of Saul. He appoints him as the king over, the king over Israel. And, and later we see during a war with the other kingdom, they kill Abner in this war and they also go ahead chasing Isheboth They also kill him in his house and the two men after killing them bring a news to David saying that, you know, they think again that David would be happy hearing that Saul fourth son has also been killed in the war. But then David was very sad and he also executes these two men who killed Isheboth. And now again, all the other 12 tribes of Israel come to David and say, can you become the king over us? Now we see the promise of David saying, David, I will appoint you as the king of Israel. We see how Samuel anointed David as a king of Israel being fulfilled in the book of 2 Samuel. The example of all the 12 tribes gathered together and David takes over and David unites the kingdom of Judah along with Israel and rules them as a single kingdom. And now David has become the king of Israel. And then, second Samuel chapter seven, we see that it is a key chapter for our understanding the storyline of the whole Bible because God here makes made a promise to David that he will be the royal line with the future king was going to build God's temple here on earth and set up a eternal kingdom. Here we see the king of kings. Here we see the prophecy of the king of kings that is Jesus who will come from the line of David. And it's this the Masonic promise to David that gets picked up and developed more in the book of Psalms and also in the other books of prophet. And it's this king that gets connected to God's promise to Abraham. The future Masonic kingdom will be how God brings his blessing to all the nations. And with this we will move on to chapter 11. What happens in chapter 11? In midst of all these divine blessing where, you know, we see the rise in David in ruling over Israel and we see the hand of God over David. Now what happens when David was on the terrace, David makes a serious mis-seize Betsheba Uriah's wife bathing and he moves with lust and he takes her by force and sleeps with her and gets her pregnant. And then David tries to cover that pregnancy by forcing Uriah to go into Betsheba. But he, being the faithful servant, he says, No, Lord, when we are in the battle, I cannot do that. So because Uriah was very stubborn, he sends him to the battle and he plans it such a way that Uriah is in the front line and gets killed very easily. By this Uriah has been assassinated in that battle. And then later David takes Betsheba as his wife. And later part in chapter 12 we see the prophet Nathan confronts with a parable to David. Can one of us please read chapter 12 verse 1 onwards? The Lord sent Nathan to David and he came to him and said, There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor. The rich man had a great many flocks and herds, but the poor man had nothing except one little Eve lamb which he brought and which he bought and nourished. And it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom and was like a daughter to him. Now a traveler came to the rich man and he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the wafer who had come to him. Rather he took the poor man's Eve lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him. Then David's anger burned greatly against the man and he said to Nathan, As the Lord lives surely the man who has done this deserves to die. He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold because he did this thing and had no compassion. Seventh verse. Nathan then said to David, You are the man. Thus says the Lord God of Israel. It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of salt. I also gave you your master's house and your mistress wife's into your care and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like this. Why have you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah, the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Adam. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah, the Hittite, to be your wife. Eleventh verse. Please continue. All right. Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household. I will even take your wife before your eyes and give them to your companion and he will lie with your wife in the broad daylight. Indeed, you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and under the sun. Then David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, the Lord also has taken away your sin. You shall not die. However, because by the deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme the child also that is born to you shall surely die. So Nathan went to the house. Thank you. Thank you. You see the heart condition of David. You know when Nathan the prophet confronted David, David turned to God and asked for forgiveness with a repented heart. And when he repented and asked forgiveness with God, God forgave him. So our heart condition is very important. And God was ready to forgive David for the sin that he did. But at the same time he had to face the consequence of his sin. Where the child that Betjewah conceived dies and you know though David fasts and prays for the child to live, but then he loses this child as you know the consequences of his sin. And in chapter 13 we see that David's son and David's son end up repeating his own mistakes but in ever more tragic way. So Amnon sexually abuses his sister Tamar. And then their brother Absalon finds out what was done to Tamar by Amnon and he kills Amnon. And then you know in chapter 15 to 18 we see Absalon becomes you know he is so angry about his father because he didn't take any reaction over Amnon when his daughter was sexually abused. So now Absalon plans a secret army. He has a secret plan to go against his father David and take the power from him. And you know he tries to chase David and tries to kill him. David you know he never again he never tried to talk to Absalon or try to correct their children but then he flees from Absalon to save his life and now he flees with his family. So again he runs to caves to cave and he's forced to flee because Absalon was trying to kill him and his family and he hides in the wilderness and except this time last time when he was trying to run he was very innocent young man David was a young man when he was trying to run away from salt but this time when he's running he's not innocent he is a king he's a king of Israel. He has all the rights to face Absalon but he is not he's trying to run away. But then what happens later we see the rebellion ends when David's son is murdered. Again you know secretly David's army comes and murders Absalon and it breaks David Hartman. David heard this you know he weeps he tears his clothes he puts the dust on his head and he weeps for his son and he says Absalon oh my son Absalon and he cries out David in his last days finds back on his throne but with a broken heart. He was a wounded man with all the consequence that he had to face due to his sin and in chapter 21 to 24 we see the book concludes with a well-crafted epilogue with stories that are out of chronological order. So the outer pair of the stories come from earlier in David's reign and they compared the failure of Saul and then of David and how each of them hurt other people through their back dissection and we also see the next in a pair of the stories about David and his band of mighty men who went about fighting against the Philistines and what's interesting is that both the section have a story of David's weaknesses in the battle. So in contrast to the victorious David in the first few chapters in this book that is from first chapter 1 to chapter 9 and later part we see the vulnerable David who committed sin and later chapters follows the consequences of his sin. He loses four sons four children of his and then he weeps over them and chapter 2 to chapter 23 the first part we see the two poems that act like memories and David reflects back on his life and he remembers times when God was so graciously rescued him from danger and he sees these as the moments where God was faithful to his covenant promise to him and to his family through both of these poems concluded by looking back on the hope of God's promise of a future king who will build that eternal kingdom and these poems then you know then putries God's promises who connect back to Hannah's poem that opened the book in 1 Samuel which says the key passages from the beginning now the middle and the end of the book bring the same theme all together saying that you know sings about God's promises and eternal kingdom is through the coming king of kings and we see despite Saul and David's sin God remain at work moving forward to his redemptive purpose though God opposed David and Saul's arrogance but he exalted David when he repented for his sin and when he repented and genuinely regarded over his sin and revealed his repented heart towards God and Lord forgave him we see Lord forgave him and still God blessed him and his family where God said I will bless you with a son and that the Solomon through him I will build a kingdom again and also when in the coming book we will see how David desires to build a temple because now they are dwelling in one place okay one place and David we see in the coming book David desires to build a temple for God but then God says not in your hands because your hands has lot of blood but then your son Solomon will build a temple for me and I will give him the peace from the surrounding kingdom okay so what is the big idea of this book second Samuel we see the key verse of second Samuel is in chapter 7 verse 16 can one of us please turn to second Samuel chapter 7 verse 16 and read it second Samuel chapter 7 verse 16 your house and kingdom shall be established forever your throne shall be established forever your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you your throne shall be established forever so this is the promise that you know God gives to David and as God promised we see that his promise has been fulfilled through Jesus because Jesus was from the descendant of David again and again we read that throughout the book of prophets also in the New Testament when the genealogy of Jesus is read we see that Jesus is from the David's descendants and we also see in this book that David celebrates God's faithfulness in Psalms 89 can we turn to Psalms 89 please okay Psalms 89 also explains God's faithfulness over David and you know he pens out the covenant my covenant I will not violate nor will I alter the utterance of my lips he says and once I have sworn by my holiness I will not lie to David his descendant shall endure forever and is thrown as a son before me it shall be established forever like the moon and the witnesses in the sky is faithful we read that in verse 34 to 37 Psalms 89 34 to 37 that God's unconditional promise to David would be fulfilled ultimately in David's descendants through Jesus Christ the covenant also included a continuing promise that the people of Israel would have a land of their own forever so in this book we can see God called David as a man after his own heart we see we saw that in first Samuel chapter 13 verse 14 when God anointed David when David was a shepherd boy God anoints him and tells Samuel he is the man after my own heart though David sinned greatly and made a lot of mistakes but he acknowledged those failures David acknowledged those failures and he repented them before God when we say repent means to turn away from sin and turn towards God's righteousness so our father knows yes we are not perfect God knows David from inside out even before God could anoint him as king God knows his strength and his weaknesses but God looks at him from his heart looks at his heart his attitude which truly desired to please God at all times and so his son Jesus Christ who paid the price for our sins so that we can become righteous in God's side through faith and although our salvation is secured our daily sins can hinder our relationship with God just like how David but when we confess our sins and repent with all our heart and turn to God in all humility and when we ask for forgiveness a God is a God who forgives us and restores us back to the relationship with him today can be also just like David no matter how big a sin could be but when we ask God to forgive our sins and repent with our heart come before him with a repented heart our God is ready to forgive us our sins and restore us back with a relationship saying you are his son you are his daughter that we are his son and we are his daughter and our relationship is once again restored back to God our father we also see in the book of James chapter 4 verse 10 it says when we humble ourselves in the presence of God acknowledging that God is great and is above everything above all our consequences and when we ask God for forgiveness God is ready to forgive and restore us back and exalt us when we humble ourselves in the presence of the Lord and he will exalt us in due season so just like how David did when we humble ourselves despite a sinful nature God will forgive us and restore us back this is something that we could learn from David's life at all time David pleased God he was truly a man after God's own heart he had the heart like God you know he never killed like David he never killed Saul who was after him or David's son Absalom who was after David to kill him but even when they died he didn't rejoice over the death but then he grieved for them he wept for them but one area we see that David failed was in correcting their son and disciplining their children if he would have disciplined Amnon would not have behaved in that way to his sister Tamar and I'm sure even Absalom wouldn't have rebelled against his father and his kingdom so you know this is something that we need to learn from David's you know the strength and the weaknesses as well so open to class what are the other areas or other things that you would like to add on please go ahead and add on to this book of second Samuel what are the things that we can learn from first and second Samuel and also one more point sorry I missed this out we also see David bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem when he became the king and he rejoiced welcoming the Ark of the Covenant he danced front of the Ark of the Covenant by welcoming and he made Jerusalem as the capital city and we also see some of the key events as David was anointed of king of Judah and issue about the fourth son of Saul became the king of Israel and we saw David reign over all the Israel and God's covenant with David and David's sin with the Chiba and David had to David's sin of sin of numbering the people of Israel and the highlights of this book is the first Samuel records David's rise to power as Saul fell from God's favor and in second Samuel we see the story of David's kink ship and the establishment of his royal line through which Jesus the Messiah will come the book begins just before David's second anointing as king and ends shortly after his death Nathan and Gad joined together became an unknown author wrote this book which records the major events of David's rule and this was written to give the history of Israel from Saul's death through David's reign and this book also records the establishment of Jerusalem as God's holy city the tragic results of David's sin with that she but clearly illustrates a lot of sewing and reaping this book also introduces the second of the three most important of the Old Testament unconditional covenant that is the Davidic covenant and the reflection we have here is we see this book starting with the times of David but after his sin with that she but we see a tragic turn in his life and in the life of the nation are we living our life knowing that our sin has consequence let's give a thought or are we aware that our sin will affect the people whom we are responsible for if David had thought this I'm sure you would have avoided many pitfalls in his life I hope the next 10 minutes to the class to add few points whatever we discussed or to share from first and second Samuel our learning from the life of King Saul and King David class anyone can share what was your learning from this first two books I mean from this book of Samuel ma'am can I share yes said ma'am the thing I liked in first Samuel chapter 14 was like how Jonathan how Jonathan took the initiative of attacking the police science he not thought that I am just a small kid how can I face this much big army he just went with a with a servant his armor beer and hen he attacked the mighty army of police science and God gave and God gave Jonathan all the police science to his hand I like this was that how he not thinking like I am a small child as God told Jeremiah that you have to go I will give words to your mouth and in Jonathan's life we can see that how God used a small child to conquer this much big army I like this portion 14 yes yes yes even we see young David come I mean fighting against the goliath and God gave him the victory so it's not how young or our experience we are but we have to depend on God and his power so that even though we may be young we can do great and mighty things through God and his power thank you said for sharing that that's an amazing lesson that each of us can learn to depend on God and well comparison that with Jeremiah as well yeah anyone else Divya John Nicky Zellie Tolly Isaac so one of the things just share your thoughts yeah so one of the things which strikes my mind David was repenting we also see in Sam 51 in verse 4 we see against you only I have sinned and then what is evil in your side so when we see the title of Sam 51 we read this is a Sam which David wrote after prophet Nathan came to him and you know he got convinced and he's repenting so the attitude that David is having is that he has sinned against God and that is one of the things which we can remember in our walk with him yes yes yeah that's a beautiful Sam we see in verse 10 where he says create in me a clean heart of God and renew a steadfast spirit within me do not cast me away from your presence and do not take away your Holy Spirit so there was a genuine repentance from God and God honoured him and forgave him yes anyone else ma'am David David was chooses by the God and we said that he was alerted by the God then why he fall down in the scene okay anyone can answer Rebekah anyone in the class a question was though David was appointed by God and he was also inquiring with God then why did he commit sin was a question is that Rebekah yes ma'am yeah can anyone in the class good question good question yeah please go ahead yeah please go ahead I think that Satan has no respect of any human being no matter who you are still you are in his sin you are still in his centre of focus his arc of fire he will tempt you and if you give him you give him no matter who you are thank you thank you thank you Rebekah Rebekah yes please okay great did where you would like to add on I was about to say another learning from both the books yeah can I add on to the point yes please yes please yeah one thing that I really love about David is how he shows kindness to Jonathan's son Mephi Bosheth yes in chapter 9 so yeah even though you know Saul had been chasing and creating a havoc for David you know that kindness that he has towards Jonathan's son that is really commendable because he wants to you know be compassionate so it shows his character a lot yes yeah and that can be emulated in our lives as well yes yes yes we see you know yes the kindness towards Mephi Bosheth was good where you know because of the friendship that David had with Jonathan you know not only David blessed Jonathan with he also gave him the place to have you know to dine with him on a stable and he also gave him a part of his portion as a blessing to him yeah we read that and you know he took care of him because he was a physically challenged person and David took care of him he was under the shadow of David and to honor the friendship of Jonathan yes anyone else would like to add on and Rebekah to answer to your question yes God knows and also God gives the free will free will God knew that David will sin we are human okay we may we are not perfect except Jesus so God knew David's weakness and still God appointed him as a king and still God called him as a man after his own heart because David was man after God's own heart even though he sinned he repented he repented and asked God for forgiveness God is a holy God okay at the same time he's merciful so God in his mercy forgave sin but David had to face the consequence of his sin the way he lost four of his children did that answer your question Rebekah yes ma'am thank you anyone else would like to add on to this book because not all the instances we have covered but just like how said and David brought to a new point I would appreciate even y'all to bring up a new point yeah can I share a question yes please we all see that from the books God has already established that David was a man after his own heart so is it because of the love that God had for David that even when he committed a sin and equally before sin so committed a sin sin is sin there is no small sin there is no big sin okay Saul committed a sin David also asking committed a sin but God allowed him he repented God allowed him to stay on to the throne but in the case of Saul God not allowed him I don't know whether he was he was not able to repent for his sin because he rebelled and after that God took the power away from him why was that happening is it because of the love that God had for David or because he knew how to repent for his sin thank you thank you that is a very good question yes both Saul and David sinned Saul see our heart attitude is what matters again and again we see in first Samuel again and again we see that God looks at the heart not at the outward appearance so we may say sorry but what is inside what is our intention God knows God looks at that so Saul when he committed sin he didn't repent genuinely front of God and later again and again he was sinning again and again he went against God but here we see David when Nathan confronted him he never asked sorry to Nathan or he never asked Nathan what should I do but then he looks at God he knew he knew the sin that he committed was against God and he wept and cried front of God the genuine repentance that comes from the heart is what God seeks and same thing God seeks with you and me today with us when we repent with our genuine heart God forgives us because is a God of mercy and love as you say the same thing in the New Testament we also see Judas betrayed Jesus and even Peter betrayed Jesus but Judas was guilty but he never repented but Peter wept and he repented again and again he repented and he cried out but still God didn't take over the leadership from Peter in fact he restored it back front of all the other disciples saying Peter you take care of my sheep do you love me Peter three times he asked and three times again and again front of all the other disciples he restored the leadership what was appointed to Peter the same way back to the book of 2 Samuel when David repented God did not take away the leadership from him or take away the Holy Spirit from him he in fact David praise Lord create in me a clean heart in Psalms 51 we read that we just read it take not away thy Holy Spirit so David knew the power of God and he desired for more of God in him God delighted in the heart that David had to worship him yes he was weak with women he he sinned against God in that area but he asked for forgiveness but then the love towards God was much more than anything we see how David delights in the book of Psalm when we study we see like he says it's better for me to be in your courts than thousand days elsewhere for me it is good to be in your presence I need more of you that's why God called David as a man after my own heart the heart that he had for God was much greater than anything did that answer your question brother yes thank you anyone else would like to add to it please please yes yes yes yes okay number one when I read the book of 1st and 2nd Samuel I do get some character about Jonathan Jonathan had all the powers and with the support of his father to be the king he chose not to do that he chose to be supportive of God's will and he was supportive of David so that means that not all of us can be leaders at times we might be the people who are going to open a way or to do something for the leader to pass through so that means that Jonathan reels so the big picture and he left leadership as far as man is concerned to David number two I also realize that it's not always good to jubilate or to jump on top of our feet when our enemy has got a problem we see this happens when David himself says that Saul has got issues or Saul is dead but this guy kept his heart cool and kept it down and he was non jubilating just as other people would have done because this guy was looking for his own life thank you so much thank you thank you so much thank you so much yeah Divya also adds a point here because of God's unconditional covenant with David that he also was forgiven yes okay we can end this class with a word of prayer can I request one of us to please end this class with a word of prayer Nikki you would like to pray sure I can so am I audible yes yes not going to have any further thank you for this class God we thank you for all that we've learned from God and I just pray that as we study more of you God we just pray that we would also be like David Lord we'd be someone who's after your your own heart Lord we just want more of you and you're not be satisfied with what we have Lord God I just pray that he does and guide us Lord in the day and I pray that you are not just a user and we may walk in your way and thank you for the man here so thank you for the blessing that's here and thank you for the blessing that if you please thank you for the Lord in saving me amen amen thank you so much for joining in today's session see you all tomorrow thank you God bless
