2 Samuel
Treated in 90 passages across the library.
The reign of King David. It tells of his rule over Judah and then all Israel, the bringing of the ark to Jerusalem, and God's covenant promising David a house and a throne forever. It then turns to his sin with Bathsheba, Nathan's rebuke and David's repentance, and the troubles that followed in his own family, including the rebellion of Absalom.
