Samuel Week 3 — David, Bathsheba, and the Fractured Kingdom | 2 Samuel Explained
Description
David defeated giants, conquered enemies, and received covenant promises from God—but Samuel turns dramatically in 2 Samuel 11–20. In Week 3 of our Samuel study we explore David’s sin with Bathsheba, Nathan’s confrontation, Absalom’s rebellion, family collapse, and how private failure became national crisis.
This study examines:
• David and Bathsheba
• Nathan’s prophetic confrontation
• The Amnon and Tamar narrative
• Absalom’s rebellion
• Hebrew word studies and literary structure
• Eden echoes and biblical narrative patterns
• The theology of consequences
• Why Samuel deepens longing for a greater Son of David
Samuel does not hide David’s failures. Scripture preserves these stories to show that even Israel’s greatest king was not the final answer.
Jesus becomes the faithful King that David anticipated.
