GOD in the Old Testament - 2 Samuel - Part 14

2 Samuel 15:24-29  

    Zadok was there, too, and all the Levites who were with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until all the people had finished leaving the city.

    Then the king said to Zadok, "Take the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD's eyes, he will bring me back and let me see it and his dwelling place again. But if he says, 'I am not pleased with you,' then I am ready; let him do to me whatever seems good to him."

    The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Do you understand? Go back to the city with my blessing. Take your son Ahimaaz with you, and also Abiathar's son Jonathan. You and Abiathar return with your two sons. I will wait at the fords in the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me." So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem and stayed there. 

(see all 2 Samuel 15)

 

2 Samuel 16:23

2 Samuel 19:26-27  

    He said, "My lord the king, since I your servant am lame, I said, 'I will have my donkey saddled and will ride on it, so I can go with the king.' But Ziba my servant betrayed me. And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whatever you wish."

(see all 2 Samuel 19 - 20)

 

2 Samuel 21:14  

    They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the tomb of Saul's father Kish, at Zela in Benjamin, and did everything the king commanded. After that God answered prayer in behalf of the land.

2 Samuel 22:1-3  

    David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

    "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

        my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,

        my shield and the horn of my salvation. 

    He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior--

        from violent people you save me."
