Today is King David and War. Lots of war. Some diplomacy, which turns into war, some rebellion, which becomes war, some more rebellion, which becomes a double war, and a bunch of war-related logistics scattered all throughout. Also, David commits adultery and murder, but you already knew that story. Perhaps the big surprise today is the General Joab subplot, he is a surprisingly ruthless gut-stabber. Also we get some miracles today, namely a massive plague and a bunch of rampaging murderous giants descended from fallen angels. We get a ton of plot in relatively few chapters today, and it bears interestingly on the wider context of both the Israelite religion, which we look at next time, and the upcoming kings, who we will look at after that.
