 Introduction to Second Samuel, Theme, David, Outline, Summary
The theme of Second Samuel is the great reign of King David (2 Samuel 5:10,12).
David was also a prophet from the day he was anointed king (1 Samuel 16:13; 2 Samuel 23:1-2) and was the greatest of the psalmists (inspired poets) of Israel (2 Samuel 23:1) as well as its greatest warrior (1 Samuel 18:6-7; 2 Samuel 22:1).
David was also guilty of great sins (2 Samuel 11,24), but he was forgiven (2 Samuel 12:13; Psalm 32:1-5; 2 Samuel 24:25) because he repented (2 Samuel 12:13; Psalm 51:1-4; 2 Samuel 24:10).
