Today ends 2 Samuel. Ch 21-24 try to fit quite a bit of information in. Honestly, some seems a little far fetched. Like how one individual kills so many men, or how God seeks revenge by sending plagues. But, that is taken by faith. One must dig deeper to understand true meanings to these, not just the surface writing.
Ch 21 discusses an oath make by King Saul that was not kept. Future generations paid the price for not honoring that oath. Ch 23 reviews some of the mighty men of David's reign. Committed to a king, like we are committed to ours? Finally ch 24 going against the will of God. Making amends and setting the stage for the future...anyone say temple?
Some books and writings in the Bible might seem hard to follow. Struggle through them, but don't give up!
