meditating on the rise of Solomon. Base text is 1ki 1-3, with 1Chr 21-22 and a little review of 2Samuel

2 Samuel overview

Reading the Miktams of David while on the run from king Saul. In David we see good examples of making God our refuge in times of distress. In Saul we see the need to humble ourselves and surrender to God's will.
