Our story of the Days of David concludes in this final episode (part 13). This episode is called The Legacy of David. In the finale of our podcast series we look at the final events of David's life and some of the unfinished business that his son Solomon concluded. We also look at the final chapter or Bathsheba's story that is recorded in scripture. Then we go back and review 2 Samuel 21-24. These final chapters of the book of 2 Samuel form an epilogue of sorts. They do not fit into the narrative of the story of David in chronological order. Scholars believe they were added in after his death. But these are very important chapters that put a capstone on the story of David so we can understand who he was and why he was so important to the history of Israel but especially to the history of anyone who seeks after the heart of God!

The sins of David need little introduction. His adultery with Bathsheba and his murder of her husband Uriah are nearly as famous as his defeat of Goliath. This episode looks at how this critical  event in the Days of David unfolded and how it forever changed the way the king operated. He was still the man after God's own heart. He gained forgiveness of his sins, but David was never the same after this event.

The Kingdom of David is finally established as we turn to episode 10 in our podcast series. In this episode, we meet several interesting characters, including the sons of Zeruiah, Abner, Mephibosheth, and more. We walk through David’s coronation as king over Judah, the civil war with the tribes of Israel, and finally, the unification of the country under King David. We also look at the wars of David and the conquest of Jerusalem. And in the middle of all that, we see the birth of a blood feud and the Bible's first story about a person with disabilities. All of that is in episode 10 of our podcast series, The Days of David!
