The Rev. Stewart Crown, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Palo Alto, CA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Samuel 23.

As the epic saga of King David's reign nears its close, we delve into his poignant final testament: the last words of a mighty king and the chronicling of his legendary 'Thirty.’ These "Last Words of David" are a poetic testament of the anointed king's faith and integrity, marking a fitting prelude to the end of his rule but also pointing forward to the everlasting covenant fulfilled by Jesus.

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.
