In this study:

• How do 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, and 1 & 2 Chronicles fit together?
• What is the history of Israel and of the Ark of the covenant leading up to the book of 2 Samuel?
• Wasn’t it cruel and brutal of God to order the destruction of even the baby Amalekites?
• Why was Saul rejected by God?
• Why was David living in Ziklag, Philistia?
• Why might the young Amalekite  have decided to claim to have killed Saul?
• What are some parallels between the Amalekites and our sinful flesh?
• What great lesson can we learn from David’s response to the news of Saul’s death?
• What made it possible for David to have such an unusual attitude?
• What did the men of Jabesh-Gilead do to earn David’s respect? And how did he probably earn their respect as well?
