GOD in the Old Testament - 2 Samuel - Part 13

2 Samuel 9:3  

    The king asked, "Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God's kindness?"

    Ziba answered the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet."

(see all 2 Samuel 9 - 11)

 

2 Samuel 12:7  

    Then Nathan said, "You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.' "

 

2 Samuel 12:15-16  

    After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David, and he became ill. David pleaded with God for the child. He fasted and spent the nights lying in sackcloth on the ground.

(see all 2 Samuel 12 - 13)

 

2 Samuel 14:11-14  

    She said, "Then let the king invoke the LORD his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son will not be destroyed."

    "As surely as the LORD lives, not one hair of your son's head will fall to the ground."

    Then the woman said, "Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king."

    "Speak," he replied.

    The woman said, "Then why have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this does he not convict himself, for the king has not brought back his banished son? Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him."

 

2 Samuel 14:16-17  

"Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who is trying to cut off both me and my son from God's inheritance."

    "And now your servant says, 'May the word of my lord the king secure my inheritance, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.' "

 

2 Samuel 14:20  

"Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God--he knows everything that happens in the land."

(see all 2 Samuel 14)
