The Rev. Glenn Roseman, pastor of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Franklin, NC, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Samuel 13.

This chapter tells the story of Amnon, David's firstborn, and his vile obsession with his half-sister, Tamar. Aided by his crafty friend Jonadab, Amnon orchestrates a disturbing scheme that leads to Tamar's ruin and disgrace. The aftermath stirs up a storm of anger and revenge within Absalom, Tamar's full brother, setting in motion a chain of events that will shake David's kingdom to its core.

2 Samuel tells how David becomes the king of Israel and faces both success and failure. It shows YHWH's faithfulness to His promise and David’s need for His mercy. Through this book, God reveals David in times of both strength and weakness, but nevertheless as a man after God’s heart.
