Description
"He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever."--2 Samuel 7:13
In this detailed commentary, Harry A. Hoffner Jr. examines 2 Samuel in its historical context and considers how it anticipates a coming perfect king, God's true Anointed One. Second Samuel details David's successful reign as king, his sin and judgment in the failed rebellion of Absalom, and his return to Jerusalem. An expert Hittitologist, Hoffner brings his understanding of ancient Near Eastern cultures to the text of 1-2 Samuel.
