2 Samuel 5: As the Scriptures testify, David became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him and it was the Lord who went out in front of David to strike the Philistine army. Though it may appear to be a man-fought and man-led battle, it was the Lord Almighty who was in control the whole time.
2 Samuel 6: While David was afraid of the Lord after the Uzzah's death incident, he was dancing before the Lord with all his might since he rejoiced in it. To David, it was more important to be credited by God rather than by men.
2 Samuel 7: We can see a developing relationship between God and David, as the former promises to build a house for the latter. In return, David's prayer focuses on the Lord's mightiness and sovereignty.
2 Samuel 8: We can see see how God continuously blessed David and his household. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went and reigned the country with justice and righteousness for all his people. At the same, David did not forget to give glory and thanks to the Lord as he dedicated articles of silver, gold and bronze to the Lord. .
2 Samuel 9: We can see how sincere David's relationship to Jonathan was. He pays tribute and honor to him by taking care of his lame son Mephibosheth. Again, it's clear that David had a good heart and surely, his decisions and behavior till present pleased the Lord.
2 Samuel 10: Clearly, the fight could have been avoided if the Ammonite commanders and Hanun (king of the Ammonites) had appreciated and accepted the sympathy of David who was really trying to honor the former king of the Ammonites. But this was surely all planned out and led by the Lord to help progress David to establish the kingdom of Israel even further.
