They appear as such in the Hebrew manuscripts. We owe the division of the one volume into two to the Septuagint. According to J. Sidlow Baxter in Explore the Book: “The present division into 1 and 2 Samuel has been decried by some scholars; yet undoubtedly it has much merit. Second Samuel is distinctively the book of David’s forty years’ reign; and it is well that such an epochal reign should be marked off, and given a book to itself. As for the First Book of Samuel, it equally clearly marks off a definite period, running from the birth of Samuel, the last of Judges, to the death of Saul, the first of the kings. It covers a period of about one hundred and fifteen years. For sheer interest, 1 Samuel is unsurpassed. Not only doest it recount eventful history interwoven with the biographies of three colorful personalities – Samuel, Saul, David; and it is around these three that the chapters are grouped thus – chapters i. to vii. – Samuel. Chapters viii. to xv. – Saul. Chapters xvi. to xxxi. – David. Of course, the three accounts overlap. Samuel lives well on into the reign of Saul, and also sees David rise to prominence; while Saul continues his reign until David is thirty years old. Yet it is none the less true that 1 Samuel is grouped as we have just indicated. In the first seven chapters Samuel is the prominent figure. In the next eight chapters all focuses on Saul, and Samuel is in the background. In the remaining chapters, although Saul is still reigning, there is no mistaking that the main attention is now on David.”","PeriodicalId":150371,"journal":{"name":"Introduction to the Hebrew Bible, Third Edition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129874416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sidlow Baxter states: “This second book of Samuel, as Matthew Henry is quick to observe, falls into two main parts. Alas, there is no mistaking it. David’s great sin, recorded in chapter 11, marks the sad divide, right in the middle of the book and right in the middle of David’s forty year’s reign, for it falls about the end of the first twenty years. Up to this point all goes triumphantly for David; bur after this there are ugly knots and tangles, grievous blows and tragic trials. In the first part, we sing David’s triumph. In the second part, we mourn David’s troubles.” Although the book of Second Samuel deals mainly with the reign of David, its significance is in the Messianic prophecy that is given form in it. This prophecy comes in the form of a covenant God made with David, the terms of which are found in chapter seven. David had built himself a palace and had just moved in, realizing that “the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him.” This made him conceive the plan that the Ark of the Covenant, the symbol of the presence of God deserved a better place than a tent. Consulting with the prophet Nathan, he initially receives the prophet’s approval, but in the night God spoke to his prophet and said: “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, ‘‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’’ Now then, tell my servant David, ‘‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men of the earth. And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from b","PeriodicalId":150371,"journal":{"name":"Introduction to the Hebrew Bible, Third Edition","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129416282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
