2 Samuel 2:1-32; 3:1-39; 4:1-12

David enters a new season of leadership as king, but those closest to him repeatedly take matters into their own hands, believing they are helping his cause. Through conflict, revenge, and assassination, David remains committed to doing things God’s way. His response points to a life marked by humility, patience, trust, and servant leadership. Ultimately, the story directs us to Jesus, the greater Son of David, who came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.
