Samuel week 4 — not a throne, but an altar
from Modern Mind, Ancient Book · host Roger Ferguson, Host and Biblical Scholar
Send us Fan MailSamuel ends not with royal triumph, but with an altar. In 2 Samuel 21–24, we see Saul’s bloodguilt, Rizpah’s grief, David’s weakness, the song of deliverance, the hope of righteous rule, the census, the plague, and sacrifice at Araunah’s threshing floor. David’s throne matters, but it is not ultimate. The kingdom still needs mercy — and the faithful Son of David.
