We come now to a pair of battle vignettes and there is much to be learned. We will be in [esvignore]2 Samuel 5:17-25[/esvignore]. We’ll follow the Philistine response to the news of David’s kingship, and David’s response to news of the enemy’s action. It will show us the power and glory of God in rich imagery and we will marvel together how much can be packed into so few words by the wise Spirit’s skill. For those who like to have the section headers, here they are:
- The Threat of Unity
- Hearing the News
- David’s Response to the Philistines
- God’s Mighty Power
- The Foolishness of Resistance
The Public reading was [esvignore]Psalm 2[/esvignore]
