2 Samuel
A Kingdom Divided Before It Even Starts
David finally gets his crown — but only over half the nation. Saul's old general installs a puppet king over the rest of Israel, and what starts as a "friendly competition" between soldiers turns into a brutal civil war that costs one young man everything.
2 Samuel
The Battle of the Advisors
Mahanaim is David's refuge east of the Jordan, the city where he establishes his base of operations and where unexpected supporters arrive with vital supplies.
Joshua
