1 Kings 2:1-12
These really are David's last words on earth. What do they tell us and how do we sum up the life of this man after God's own heart?

Who's got the kingdom?

2 Sam 21:1-14
This passage leaves us shocked and horrified. And so it should for atonement is horrifying. But it's the only way to lift the curse of sin.

Still standing

2 Sam 20:1-26
In spite of all the sadness and the sin, at the end of this chapter David's kingdom is fragile but still standing. That's the way it always is with God's kingdom.

A fragile kingdom

2 Sam 19:8-43
There is glory in the kingdom, but this side of heaven even Christians groan. David makes us thankful for the flashes of joy and keeps us longing for the kingdom to come.
