KJV summary for : 2 Samuel 21

Summary: In 2 Samuel chapter 21, several key events unfold that reflect both the consequences of sin and the importance of justice. The chapter begins with a famine in the land, which lasts for three years. David seeks God's guidance and learns that the famine is a result of Saul's actions against the Gibeonites, a group whom Israel had sworn to protect. To atone for Saul's actions, David seeks to make reparations. David approaches the Gibeonites, who demand the execution of seven of Saul's descendants as a form of justice. David complies, and the seven men are hanged. This act highlights the theme of corporate responsibility for sin, demonstrating how the actions of one individual can have lasting repercussions. The chapter also includes the story of Rizpah, one of the concubines of Saul, who fiercely protects the bodies of her sons hanging from the tree, showcasing themes of loyalty, grief, and the dignity of the dead. Ultimately, this chapter serves to illustrate the seriousness of sin, the necessity of justice, and God's continued involvement in the affairs of His people, while also emphasizing the importance of honoring the dead and the pain that accompanies loss. The closing part of the chapter notes David's military victories over the Philistines, reaffirming God's favor upon him and the strength of Israel during his reign.
