REC: 2 Samuel

Blessed through God's anointing, King David binds together a broken nation and
gives his people victory-until, distracted, he is overcome by sin. The sword of
God's judgment then falls on David and his house, but even as David is humbled,
he returns penitently to the Lord.
Richard Phillips's expository commentary carries us with David up to the
heights and down to the depths, noting the lessons for our faith
today-forgiveness doesn't cancel consequences; leadership doesn't exclude
accountability; even flawed characters can end well-and exalting Jesus Christ,
David's greater Son, as the true King our salvation requires.
As are all Reformed Expository Commentaries, this book is accessible to both
pastors and lay readers. Each volume in the series gives careful attention to
the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens
of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.
