David Righting Wrongs

Episode 110: Inspired by the Book of 2 Samuel

David Righting Wrongs

Famine was in the land of Israel, and this led to hard times for the people. So David sought the Lord and asked what he should do. God showed him the reason for the famine and commanded him to make peace with the Gibeonites for the sins that Saul had committed against them. David called the Gibeonites to him and gave them their request, the life of Saul’s sons. After this, the famine eased and Israel once again flourished. However, this flourishing would draw out more enemies of Israel and more battles, battles that David was too old to fight in.

In yesterday’s story we heard how Sheba’s insurrection was quickly snuffed out when the people saw through his lies and killed him, preventing a bloody battle with David’s army. Today we’ll turn our attention back to Jerusalem where David, now advancing in years, continues to rule through hard times, both internally and in conflicts with neighboring nations. We’ll see the perseverance of a king who continually seeks God’s will and the best for his people.
