Introduction
David is anointed by the people of Judah to show that they have chosen him to be their king, but Saul’s son Ishbosheth claims his father’s throne as king of Israel. War breaks out between the followers of David and the followers of Ishbosheth.
Today’s Scripture: 2 Samuel 2:6a (GNT)
[David said:] “And now may the LORD be kind and faithful to you.”
Today’s Reading
2 Samuel 2:1—3:1
Reflect
What was David’s message to the people of Jabesh (2:5-7)? How did Ishbosheth become king? Reread verses 25-28. What did Abner and Joab say to each other? How are conflicts resolved within your family?
Pray
Almighty God, when conflicts arise in my life among friends or family members, teach me Your ways of forgiveness and peace. Help me to be reconciled with anyone with whom I may be estranged. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Family members who are estranged.
Tomorrow’s Reading
