S1 Ep174-175 - 2 Samuel 21 & 22

Chapter 21: 

During David’s reign, there was a famine for three successive years. When he asked the Lord why, he was told it was because of Saul’s mistreatment of the Gibeonites.

So David reached out to the Gibeonites to make amends. To avenge all the death and destruction Saul had wrought, they wanted seven men from Saul’s house to be given to them so they could put them to death. David gave them seven men, but spared Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son. The Gibeonite’s killed them.

David then recovered Saul and Jonathan’s remains and had them buried properly. Then the curse was lifted.

Later, David and his men fight against the Philistines multiple times. David went to fight with them at first but got exhausted. He nearly died but one of his men protected him. They told him to stay home after that.

Interesting note, one of the men they fought and killed was Goliath’s brother. Another had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. They killed him, too.

 

Chapter 22:

David sings a song of praise in this chapter.
