| Book of 2nd. Samuel | ||
|
Samuel, David, Nathan, and Gad no doubt kept the original records from which Isaiah compiled the book about 743-683 B.C. The records which make up 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel were written by Samuel, David, Nathan, and Gad from 1204-1035 B.C. in Palestine, but were perhaps finally made into one book by Isaiah the prophet, about 743-683 B.C. He perhaps compiled Judges, Ruth,1 Samuel and 2 Samuel,1 Kings and 2 Kings, and 1 Chron. and 2 Chron. in their final form. In 1 Samuel we have the record of the failure of Israel under Eli, Saul, and Samuel. In 2 Samuel we have the record of the restoration of order in Israel through David, God's choice as ruler of His people; the full establishment of the kingdom of Israel with Jerusalem as the political and religious center (2 Samuel 1:1-6:23); the making of the Davidic covenant as the basis of all earthly kingdom truth (2 Samuel 7:1-29); the full conquest of the enemies of Israel (2 Samuel 3:1; 2 Samuel 5:17-25; 2 Samuel 8:1-10:19); David's sin and repentance (2 Samuel 11:1-12:31); family troubles of David (2 Samuel 13:1-14:33); rebellion of Absalom (2 Samuel 15:1-19:43); and the last days of David (2 Samuel 20:1-24:25). |
