2 Samuel 19–21

Common Theme

God restores David’s kingship amid lingering consequences of sin and brokenness. Justice, mercy, and covenant loyalty are interwoven as God continues His purposes despite human failure.

Questions

• How does David balance mercy and justice as he returns to power?
• What does God’s response to Saul’s past sin teach us about the lasting impact of disobedience?

God Shot

God is both just and faithful. He remembers covenants (like with the Gibeonites) and holds leaders accountable, even across generations. Yet in the midst of chaos, He upholds His chosen one—restoring David and preserving His promises through human frailty.
