2 Samuel 1-2, Psalm 93-94
from Commuter Bible OT · host John Ross
After Saul’s death, an Amalekite man comes to David claiming that he is the one who killed Saul, thinking he will be rewarded for his deed since Saul pursued David for so long. To say that David is displeased with this report, however, is an understatement. After a period of mourning for the house of Saul, David is anointed king in Judah, but Abner, the commander of Saul’s army, has other plans. He crowns Saul’s son Ish-bosheth as king, accumulates power for himself, and fights against David’s soldiers. After losing a battle to David’s soldiers, Abner flees, only to be chased down by Asahel, one of David’s men, but the conflict doesn’t end there.2 Samuel 1 – 1:03 . 2 Samuel 2 – 6:12 .
