In today\u2019s readings, we\u2019ll cover some of David\u2019s military exploits. As he and his forces are victorious over their enemies, the reader is to understand that the Lord is with him in battle. The narrative thus far has established that David prioritizes the right worship of God. Much like the gospel accounts, we\u2019ll read parallel narratives when we read portions from 2 Samuel and from 1 Chronicles, so don\u2019t be alarmed or feel like you\u2019re experiencing d\xe9j\xe0 vu. One section that\u2019s unique to 2 Samuel is a recording of David\u2019s kindness to a handicapped man named Mephibosheth; he was last remaining relative of Saul\u2019s family, the son of his friend Jonathan.
