Summary "The Bible, King James version, Book 10: 2 Samuel" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written during the early centuries AD. This text recounts the significant events in the life of King David following the death of King Saul, detailing the political and personal struggles that shape his reign over Israel. Key figures include David, who grapples with loss and betrayal, as well as Saul's son Ishbosheth and David's son Absalom, whose conflicts define much of the narrative. The beginning of "2 Samuel" introduces the aftermath of Saul's death, as David receives news about the fallen King and his son Jonathan, leading to a lamentation. The narrative then shifts to David's ascension as the king of Judah and the ensuing power struggles, including the rise of Ishbosheth and the increasing tension with Abner, Saul's former commander. Internal conflicts escalate as Absalom, one of David's sons, seeks to usurp the throne, ultimately resulting in warfare that brings about tragedy and profound sorrow for David. These opening events set the tone for the complexities of leadership and familial relationships within the broader historical context of Israel's monarchy.
