The Last Words and the Altar: A Kingdom Concludes
The Samuel narrative closes with David’s final words, a tribute to his mighty men, and the sobering account of the census and its consequences. In a climactic scene on the threshing floor in Jerusalem, judgment gives way to mercy as an altar is raised where the future Temple will stand. A powerful conclusion that unites kingship, repentance, sacrifice, and hope.
