2 Samuel 3:6-4:12

Posted at: 9:45 pm

Saul’s son becomes jealous of Abner, the army general who enabled him to be king.  Abner defects to David, however, after leaving David’s camp Abner is killed by Joab in revenge for Joab’s brother’s death.  David is angered by Joab’s actions and curses him and his descendents.  Two men then sneak into Saul’s sons house and kills him; upon bringing his head to David, David becomes furious and has these men killed.

I totally don’t know what to do with this passage.  David sure has a lot of people killed right after they killed the people who were trying to kill David (did you follow that?).  This passage seems to tie up all the loose ends to allow David to be the king over a united Israel.  How does this passage relate to us?  I don’t know.  How does this passage relate to Jesus?  I guess it demonstrates God’s sovereignty in setting up David as the ruler over all of Israel and David is the forefather of Jesus.  I totally don’t know what to do with this passage.
