  • 1 and 2 Samuel, by Robert Vannoy, Lecture 4
    1 Dr. Robert Vannoy, Samuels, Lecture 4 © 2011, Robert Vannoy and Ted Hildebrandt “We now come to the final point in our consideration of the theme of kingship and covenant in 1 and 2 Samuel. Namely, kingship as practiced by David was an imperfect, but true representation of the ideal of the covenantal king. And as I mentioned earlier, we find David’s reign described in the book of 2 Samuel. After Saul’s death at the end of First Samuel, David was initially acclaimed as king by the tribe of Judah, over whom he reigned for a time in the southern city of Hebron (2 Samuel 2:1-7). Then, subsequently, he was accepted as king by the remaining tribes of Israel after the failure of Saul’s son, Ishbosheth, to perpetuate his father’s dynasty among the northern tribes. It’s in 2 Samuel 5 that David finally begins his reign over the entire nation. We read in verse 3 of 2 Samuel 5. “When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a compact with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.” The first thing that the narrator mentions after describing the beginning of David’s reign over all Israel is his capture of the stronghold of Zion. At the time, Zion was a small but heavily fortified city inhabited by the Jebusites. It was located on the southeastern ridge of what would later become the temple mount of Jerusalem. From a political standpoint, Zion was ideally situated for a new seat of government.

  • JOSHUA: the LORD IS SALVATION Joshua’S Call Joshua 1:1-18 Layne Lebo June 12, 2016
    JOSHUA: THE LORD IS SALVATION Joshua’s Call Joshua 1:1-18 Layne Lebo June 12, 2016 Today, we’re beginning our summer sermon series that will carry us through the end of August. Summer tends to be a very disjointed time at McBIC. People’s travel and vacation schedules, along with our church scaling back on some of our normal activities make it a challenge to stay connected during summer. Personally, I’m in the midst of a 5-week stretch where between vacation and some business trips I I’ll be spending time in North Carolina, Nashville, Kansas and Orlando. Realizing how disjointed things can get in June, July and August, we typically preach a summer-long series on a book of the Bible. That way, in the midst of people coming and going and a variety of people preaching, we have the constant of staying in one book of the Bible. To help you stay connected we’ve put together a simple bookmark that lists scriptures you can read whether you’re at home or on vacation that keep you in step with the passages we’re preaching on this summer. This summer we’ll be walking through the Old Testament Book of Joshua. Joshua is the 6th book in the Bible—coming immediately after the books known as the Pentateuch or the Law. Bible scholars aren’t sure who the author of Joshua is. It appears that parts of the book were written by Joshua himself, but other portions were likely passed along through generations of Jewish people as oral history.

  • Study Questions on the Psalms
    Study Questions on the Psalms Habakkuk 3: A Model Psalm 1. Look carefully at the psalm in Habakkuk chapter 3. (a) How do v. 1 and the last sentence in v. 19 differ from the rest of the psalm? (b) What kind of information is in v. 1? (c) What kind of information is in the last sentence in v. 19? 2. Look at Isa 38:9-20. Can you find parallels to the three parts of Habakkuk 3? 3. Compare these elements with Psalm 3. (a) How do the parts of the opening of Psalm 3 align with Hab 3:1? (b) Does Psalm 3 have a final sentence comparable to the one in Hab 3:19? What happened to it? (You might be interested to learn that “Neginoth” is the same word translated “stringed instruments” in Hab 3:19.) 4. Now let’s study the relation of Habakkuk’s psalm to the rest of the book. (a) Read over chapters 1-2. i. These chapters record a conversation. Who is speaking with whom? ii. What two questions does Habakkuk ask? iii. Is he happy with the answers he gets? (b) Now analyze the body of Habakkuk 3. i. Notice how the Psalm is divided into four parts based on a) what Habakkuk is saying and b) to whom he is saying it. What are these four parts? ii. How does v. 2 reflect his attitude in the first two chapters of the book? iii. How does he reassure himself in vv. 3-16? iv. What resolution does he reach in vv.

Book Title The word psalms comes from the Greek word psalmoi. It suggests the idea of a “praise song,” as does the Hebrew word tehillim. It is related to a Hebrew concept which means “the plucking of strings.” It means a song to be sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. The Psalms is a collection of worship songs sung to God by the people of Israel with musical accompaniment. The collection of these 150 psalms into one book served as the first hymnbook for God’s people, written and compiled to assist them in their worship of God. At first, because of the wide variety of these songs, this praise book was unnamed, but eventually the ancient Hebrews called it “The Book of Praises,” or simply “Praises.” This title reflects its main purpose──to assist believers in the proper worship of God.

  • The Second Book of Samuel
    A PATRISTIC COMMENTARY THE SECOND BOOK OF SAMUEL FR. TADROS Y. MALATY 2004 Initial edition Translated by: DR. GEORGE BOTROS Revised by SAMEH SHAFIK Coptic Orthodox Christian Center 491 N. Hewes St. Orange, California 92869-2914 INTRODUCTION As this book in the Hebrew origin, is a complementary to the first book of Samuel, we urge the reader to refer back to the introduction of that book. According to the Jewish tradition, the authors of this book were the prophets Nathan and Gad, beside some of those who were raised in the school of the prophets, founded by the prophet Samuel. In the Septuagint version, it is called “The second Kingdoms book.” WHEN WAS IT WRITTEN? It was written after the division of the kingdom, and before the captivity. It embraces a complete record of the reign of King David (2 Samuel 5: 5); and mentions the kings of ‘Judah,’ as distinct from those of ‘Israel’ (1 Samuel 27: 6). ITS FEATURES 1- Its topic was a survey of King David’s life, following his strife with king Saul, who was killed by the enemies at the end of the previous book; a narration of king David’s ascension to the throne, his wars, and the moving up of the Tabernacle of God to Jerusalem. It also gave a record of David’s fall in certain sins, with all the incessant troubles and grieves they entailed. In other words, this book represents the history of the people during the 40 years of king David’s reign. Its study is considered to be of special importance to everyone intending to comprehend David’s psalms.

  • Chapter Iii Malachi's Eschatological Figures
    CHAPTER III MALACHI’S ESCHATOLOGICAL FIGURES: AN EXAMINATION OF MAL.3:1-5; 4:5-6 Ralph L. Smith argues that the Book of Malachi deals with four primary theological themes: covenant, cult (worship), ethical conduct (justice and morality) and the future.1 It is certain that the Book of Malachi contains a number of theological ideas such as God‟s covenantal love, His covenant, the ideal priesthood, the universalistic perspective,2 and the eschatological promises. The word “covenant” occurs six times in the book. O‟Brien argues, “Malachi employs much of the terminology, theme and form of the covenant lawsuit.” 3 In other words, the Book is a kind of the covenant lawsuit. Malachi, as the prophet and representative of the Lord, confronts the priests of Israel for their defilement, reminding them of a faithful priest--a messenger of the Lord--who rebukes the people of Israel for their unbelieving hypocritical worship and unethical conduct, requests them to restore true worship, and proclaims a message of hope by predicting the forerunner of the Lord who prepares the way before the Lord comes. Malachi is commissioned by God to participate in a divine dialogue between Him and His rebellious people who comprise the remnant of Israel. The time of Malachi is the era of covenant breach. The priests violate the covenant of Levi (2:1-9), and the people break the 1 Ralph L.

  • The Second Book of Samuel
    The Second Book Of Samuel The Argument This book and the former bear the title of Samuel, because they contain the conception nativity and the whole course of his life, and also the lives and acts of two Kings, to wit, of Saul and David, whom he anointed and consecrated Kings by the ordinance of God. And as the first book containeth those things, which God brought to pass among this people under the government of Samuel and Saul so this second book declareth the noble acts of David, after the death of Saul, when he began to reign, unto the end of his kingdom: and hew the same by him was wonderfully augmented: also his great troubles and dangers, which he sustained both within his house and without what horrible and dangerous insurrections, uproars, and treasons were brought against him, partly by false counselors, feigned friends and flatterers and partly by some of his own children and people: and how by God’s assistance he overcame all difficulties, and enjoyed his kingdoms in rest and peace. In the person of David the Scripture setteth forth Christ Jesus the chief King who came of David according to the flesh, and was persecuted on every side with outward and inward enemies as well in his own person, as in his members, but at length he overcometh all his enemies, and giveth his Church victory against all power both spiritual and temporal: and so reigneth with them, King for evermore. 2 Samuel 1 ............................................................................................................................. 3 2 Samuel 2 ............................................................................................................................. 5 2 Samuel 3 ............................................................................................................................. 8 2 Samuel 4 ..........................................................................................................................

When translated from the Greek Septuagint, the word “Deuteronomy” means “second law,” as in Moses’ re­telling of God’s laws. The dominant theological theme in this book is the renewal of God’s covenant and Moses’ call to obedience, as evident in Deuteronomy 4: 1, 6 and 13; 30: 1 to 3 and 8 to 20.
