2 Samuel 2:8-9

2 Samuel is all about Jesus! This 9-day plan will walk you through the book of 2 Samuel by reading just a chapter or two a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

This 20-day plan will walk you through the books of Samuel by reading a short passage daily. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what you're reading and how it's all about Jesus. In this plan, you'll learn that God opposes the proud but lifts up the humble. From Hannah’s song to David’s rise and Saul’s fall, we see God repeatedly choosing the humble and rejecting the self-serving - ultimately pointing to Jesus as the true and better King who listens to the Father, defeats our enemies, and reigns with justice and mercy.

2 Samuel depicts the ascension and reign of King David following the death of Saul and Jonathan. David united the kingdom, established Jerusalem as the capital city, and extended the territory of Israel. At the crescendo of the book, God promises David that "your throne shall be established forever" (2 Samuel 7:16). Despite David's wickedness, God ultimately fulfills his promises to David through the person and work of Jesus Christ.
