David discovers the result of the war between Saul and the Philistines. The 2nd Samuel 1 starts with David’s revealing his utter heartbreak at hearing of the death of his best friend, Yahunatan (Jonathan).
Thought Questions
How is the relationship between David and Jonathan similar to the relationship between Messiah Yeshua and Yokhanan the Mikvatist (John the Baptist)?
Why did David kill the messenger when he was obeying Saul’s order?
Did David have any knowledge of the prophesy the witch of Endor gave to Saul?
Why was David caught off guard by the report on the battle?
The report of the Amalekite here differs from the report in 1st Samuel 31. How do we reconcile these two accounts?
Who wrote the end of this book? Why are both accounts even recorded?
Did David pronounce a curse on Mt. Gilboa?
Was the Yeshua the first to tell people to love their enemies?? What spiritual lessons do we see in this chapter?
What did Saul learn about being an anointed of God when he knew he would not survive the battle with the Philistines and yet fought courageously anyway?
