2 Samuel 11:26-12:13a In this passage, we see the prophet Nathan, being the voice of God, in confronting King David about his behavior. David had abused his authority as the king and had not treated Uriah the Hittite or his wife Bathsheba with justice. This greatly displeased God and God gave hard justice to David…
2 Samuel 11: 1-15 Hace poco un señor me preguntó: “¿Por qué creemos que David está en el cielo? ¡Mire lo que hizo durante su vida!” Desde luego, uno podría también contraargumentar: “Pues mire también todas las cosas buenas que hizo”. David, por ejemplo, escribió muchos salmos y se dijo que era una persona “que…
2 Samuel 11:1-15 I recently had a gentleman ask me, “Why do we believe that David is in Heaven? Look at what he did during his life!” Certainly, one could retort, “Well, look at all the good things he did, too.” David wrote so many psalms, for example, and was said to be a person…
2 Samuel 7:1-14a Los episcopales somos muy dados a construir hermosas iglesias como lugares de culto y gastar cantidades considerables de dinero para mantenerlas. A menudo somos criticados tanto fuera como dentro de la Iglesia, por los mismos episcopales, por quienes no están a favor de gastar recursos en lo que algunos considerarían extravagancias. Incluso…
2 Samuel 7:1-14a We Episcopalians are fond of building beautiful churches as our places of worship and spend considerable amounts of money maintaining them. Often we are criticized by both outsiders and fellow Episcopalians who are not in favor of spending funds on what some would consider extravagances. There is an argument to be made…

2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19 The books attributed to the prophet Samuel tell the history of the Israelites and explain God’s law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets. In chapter 6 of 2 Samuel, King David, after uniting the tribes of Israel under his leadership, takes possession of the Ark of the Covenant, containing a jar of manna,…
2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 El eco de la historia de David a lo largo de las Escrituras se resume y consagra en el décimo versículo de 2 Samuel 5, “El poder de David iba aumentando, y el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos, estaba con él”. Esta aclaración categórica sobre la presencia de Dios repite un…
2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 The breadth of David’s story throughout scripture is here condensed and blessed in the tenth verse of 2 Samuel 5: “And David became greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.” This emphatic illumination of God’s presence repeats a refrain that has been persistent throughout David’s…
2 Samuel 1:1, 17-27 Los personajes en la narrativa bíblica del Viejo Testamento tienden a ser personajes complejos, una amalgama de vicios y virtudes que sólo pueden ser modelos a seguir desde el punto de vista moral, si los escogemos cuidadosamente. Desde esta perspectiva, dos de las más grandes y menos comprendidas cualidades de David…
