Failing the LORD's test, David sinfully decrees a census of the warriors in Israel. Upon being struck by the condemnation of the Law, David confesses his sin and places himself in the hands of the LORD, who brings a three-day pestilence against Israel. David pleads for mercy upon the people, and Gad the prophet brings God's Word to David to buy the threshing floor where the LORD stopped His pestilence. This later becomes the place where Solomon builds the temple to the LORD, testifying to the LORD's mercy in bringing about the end of His wrath against mankind's sin through the sacrifice of the Son of David, Jesus. Rev. Andrew Jagow, pastor at Bethany Lutheran Church in Alexandria, VA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 24:1-25. "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
In this episode, Jennifer Barrett explores the story of Hannah's heartfelt prayer for a child from 1 Samuel, drawing insights from the Hebrew text.
The psalm of David recorded at the end of his reign summarizes the LORD's deliverance for David throughout the king's life. The LORD is not simply Rock and Refuge generally, but He is Rock and Refuge for David. When David called, the LORD came in mighty ways to rescue David from his enemies. This was done for David in the righteousness that he had through faith in Christ that covered all of David's sins. In this way, the one true God has been David's God, even as He brought others into this kingdom under David. Through David's praises of the LORD, he proclaims Jesus as the One who comes to bring salvation to all God's people. Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 22:1-51.

In this sermon, pastor Matt shows us that to reject God's kindness is to receive his severity. Those who refuse to respond to Christ with loyal love, but choose to continue in defiant unbelief, will only have themselves to blame when he comes to defeat his enemies.

Calvary Chapel McKinney Pastor James Marini continues a Bible study series through 2 Samuel. This week's verse by verse study is 2 Samuel 13:1-39. From Sunday, April 27th, 2025.Take Aways:1. As Amnon's unchecked lust eventually produced horrific violation that radically harmed others and ultimately cost him his life, so our sinful passions will lead to dreadful sins that we never imagined being involved with if left unchecked—“Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2:222. Though Absalom believed taking vengeance into his own hands would lead to healing, it actually generated further pain and suffering for everyone involved, reminding us to trust the Lord to execute righteous vengeance—“Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” Isaiah 35:43. While Absalom rightly recognized that his slaying of Amnon was an unlawful act, he responded poorly by fleeing from the king in rebellion rather than humbly repenting and returning to his father who loved him—“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.” Psalm 51:17

As 2 Samuel draws toward its conclusion, several events shed light on the entirety of David's reign. After a lengthy famine, David learns from the LORD that bloodguilt remains on Israel due to a crime Saul committed against the Gibeonites. David seeks to make atonement for this sin while also remaining merciful to the oath that he swore to Jonathan. David's battles and victories against mighty Philistine warriors were worked by the LORD through Israelite soldiers even after David was no longer fighting with his army. Rev.

As Israel questions David's reign over all of them, a Benjaminite named Sheba begins to lead a rebellion against David. David's new commander Amasa delays in dealing with the problem, and Joab treacherously murders Amasa to regain his spot as commander for David. Joab and his brother pursue Sheba even to a city where Sheba is likely to find allies, and through the wisdom of a woman in that city, Sheba's rebellion is brought to an end before much traction is gained.

Joab rebukes David's overwhelming grief over the death of one who meant David harm, lest the people of Israel abandon their rightful king. Upon receiving Joab's rebuke, David begins to make plans for his return to Jerusalem, starting with allegiance from his kinsmen in Judah. As David encounters those who both harmed and helped him during his time away from Jerusalem, he is consistently gracious and merciful to them, even as the rest of Israel wants to make sure that they have a share in David's kingdom along with Judah.

As David prepares to lead his army into battle, his men recognize how valuable his one life is compared to theirs. His three commanders go out in his stead with specific instructions to be gentle with Absalom. The LORD delivers the victory to David over Absalom, but Joab disobediently takes matters into his own hands and kills Absalom. When news reaches David of the death of his son, he is overwhelmed by grief and sorrow. Rev. Chris Hull, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church and Student Center in Macomb, IL, joins host Rev.

Although Ahithophel's counsel to seek to destroy only David's life is sound, the LORD defeats this counsel through Hushai's shrewd words to Absalom. David's allies in Jerusalem manage to get news to David so that he is able to avoid Absalom's plan, leading Ahithophel to take his own life. As the two sides draw up for battle, David's allies strengthen him in the wilderness. Rev.
