Opening Up 2 Samuel (Opening Up Commentary Series)
Overview
This commentary on 2 Samuel gives a brief explanation of the text and then shows how these events have direct and profound application to our lives today, having been recorded “for our instruction” (1 Corinthians 10:11). It also reveals how every event points to the coming of Jesus Christ (Luke 24:27), the final and ultimate leader of God’s people.
