This series of shiurim will cover various topics in Tanach in depth. We will offer a combination of the best in modern academic scholarship and literary analysis along side classic meforshim and Midrashim. I will attempt to include my own interpretations in each series and offer a macro-view of what messages and insights a given portion of Tanach may be conveying. Bonus points for catching the pop-culture references ;)

The (Second) Book of Samuel: chapter 18

Welcome to 2 Samuel, Shmuel part Bet, chapter eighteen

Episode 45: One Tin Soldier

Previously on the book of Shmuel part bet - David was able to successfully flee Jerusalem thanks in no small part to the spy network he put in place and the chicanery of Chushai. Achitofel, seeing the writing on the wall, kills himself as Avshalom pursues David in the transjordan region.

In this chapter the battle will be met in earnest, and a tragedy, perhaps avoidable, will ensue. The first half of our story is the battle, the second is the aftermath. None of it is good. We continue to live in a world post the sin with Batsheva and as David continues to receive his comeuppance the question that continues to dangle over our heads is, why exactly is he still king.
