The Book of2 Samuel
Old Testament · Book 10 of 66 · 24 chapters · 695 verses
2 Samuel covers David's reign — his triumphs, his devastating fall with Bathsheba, and his raw, honest walk back to God. It shows that even a man after God's own heart needs mercy, and that God's covenant love survives our worst chapters.
