On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the fallout of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba and the rise of Absalom before introducing a lecture by Justin Jackson, professor of English at Hillsdale College.
David is implicated in the terrible crimes committed by his sons, Absalom and Amnon, against their own family. While he struggles with the tension between his role as king and father, David’s kingdom begins to slip away as the rebellious Absalom steals the hearts of the Israelites.
First and Second Samuel tell the story of Saul and David, Israel’s first two kings. These Old Testament books depict the importance of the relationship between father and son and the consequences of sin for the sinner, his family, and his nation. While David’s transgressions lead to great tragedy for himself and Israel, his penitence shows a path toward redemption.
